It was called love, I think.

Ughh, I was just listening to this today on the speakers annoying my neighbors. It’s so beautiful. I’ve always interpreted it as being about his (maybe unrequited, maybe shared?) love for Ian Curtis, or somebody else whom he couldn’t talk about publicly because successful people weren’t allowed to be out as gay back then. Though to be honest I think most of most of New Order’s songs are about his love/platonic longing for Curtis (who was also pretty bisexual if you check the lyrics of Ceremony)
David Cook
It’s also about Nazism like most of JD/NO’s songs, and so I also kind of think of it as being about the love between an “unmentionable” couple during that time. I mean the whole song is basically just about being gay, and how throughout history, society-wide homophobia just kills people. It was Bernard Sumner protesting against homophobia and the British government-led anti gay propaganda push of the 80s.
I think the imagery of a cracked/wrinkled face sort of recalls a statue (another thing that ties into the theme of Nazism, they were very into statues of gorgeous men) and also obviously the face of a dead person

>I'm a faggot so everyone else is secretly a faggot too
and no, I don't mean gay, just a faggot
Landon Young
Bernard Sumner was literally gay, there’s a video of him dancing with a man on stage at a NO concert and kissing him on the lips in a very gay bottom way. Also wait until you find out that I’m not just a faggot, I’m a troon.
Zachary Adams
Stop making shit up
Ryder White
He's married to a woman whom he has three children with.
Matthew Garcia
what a heterosexual response that in no way exemplifies your unresolved attraction to men
Ethan Morris
>he's married so he's not gay
oh no no no no
Luis Nelson
It must suck that no matter what you write there will always be a couple of midwits thinking it's about Ian, like i checked the comments for their newest song "Be a Rebel" and there's faggots saying it's about Ian, jesus fucking christ.
Ryder Gonzalez
You are very silly. Pretty much everyone I’ve ever met whose favorite band is NO is a massive closeted homosexual, because that is what all the songs are about. Just the longings of a somewhat right leaning, closeted Aryan man to suck some black dick (seriously his bf in the video was a black guy)
Camden Evans
Is Stephen Morris also gay? What about Gillian? Are there gays in the wall, talking to you right now?
Evan Edwards
it means that Bernard is one of the worst singers and lyricists of an acclaimed band ever but it somehow works
Hunter Flores
They literally sprayed their instruments with LGBT slogans
Adam Hall
>Singers
Probably
>Lyricist
But they have tons of good lyrics, Leave Me Alone for example is great all around

This is what happens when autism meets Mancuniam humor, you get anons like this

Here are Bernard and Peter Hook at San Francisco Pride in 1983. Now tell me if it doesn’t have Emma Watson supporting trans people in 2022 vibes
Dylan Turner
Jaxon Thomas
Hook is married and has a son, i think you're a bit mentally ill.
Easton Bailey
Jason Jones
Not saying Hooky is gay but Bernard def was
Jaxon Reyes
They made electro pop, wtf do you expect. New Order were the least gay band of that scene.
Nicholas Brown
Electro pop is just a normie way of saying new wave
