lyrics:
when routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
and we're changing our ways, taking different roads
then love, love will tear us apart again
love, love will tear us apart again
you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
and there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
just that something so good just can't function no more
but love, love will tear us apart again
love, love will tear us apart again
further notes and an apology:
this vid is quite schizophrenic - in the same way Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is, with it's bouncy, cheerful tune and dejected, morose lyrics. It's like that with the idea of 'the Monday after' for me - I fervently hope the Breakfast Club holds and its members grow stronger and wiser, but at the same time I know that everything - their families, peers, logical thinking and their own vain natures - is working against them. The society assigned them their parts to play and their places in the grander scheme and it takes a lot more than one Saturday afternoon to break free.
In my head, they keep running.
So yes, this vid is very schizophrenic. I'm sorry if it hurt your brain. I hope the bittersweet aftertaste was worth the experience.
