Joy Division - Something Must Break Lyrics






Two ways to choose,
On a razor's edge,
Remain behind,
Go straight ahead.

Room full of people, room for just one,
If I can't break out now, the time just won't come.

Two ways to choose,
Which way to go,
Decide for me,
Please let me know.

Looked in the mirror, saw I was wrong,
If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong.

Two ways to choose,
Which way to go,
Had thoughts for one
Designs for both.

But we were immortal, we were not there,
Washed up on the beaches, struggling for air.

I see your face still in my window,
Torments yet calms, won't set me free,
Something must break now,
This life isn't mine,
Something must break now,
Wait for the time,
Something must break.

Joy Division Something Must Break Comments
  1. I.... K....

    A highly precocious young man. He had the lot. Poetic talent, a great voice, also physical presence. How the story should have ended is that after 5 or 6 Joy Division albums, Ian Curtis left the music scene to become a full-time writer of literature. That's what he intended. Sad to this day that instead it all ended for him with his tragic early death. So needless!

  2. V.... O....

    Everything hurts.

  3. A.... s....

    Been listening to this band for almost 30 years now.
    Can't thank Joy Division enough for the music.

  4. Z.... S....

    IMO one of the best if not the one, of Joy Division! and, funny... I do not know anyone could share this experience these days...

  5. G.... B....

    No entiendo ni mierda de lo que dice pero me gusta la musica, es una de las canciones con mas actitud de Joy Division, esto no suena a new wave, suena a punk rock.

    G.... B....

    Gallo Bravo sound is pure dark

  6. C.... S....

    "To wayyyyyyyyyyyyyys to choose " stuck in head all damn day .🤪
    🖤 J.D

  7. A.... U....

    Sounds very gothy

  8. E.... E....

    This has to be my favorite JD tune. The power and the Glory of failure is encapsulated whole.

  9. P.... ....

    Alas, there was a message here! The suffering was real.
    A voice from beyond the grave, seriously, and a sound so cold that it hurts. Great and frightening music. Eternal Joy Division.

  10. P.... l....

    Ultrazajebiste!!!

  11. C.... S....

    Why do all my 80s/doomer vids start with a opioid awareness add? Oh well .

    C.... S....

    Maybe the ad people assume that all rock bands are addicted to drugs? 😤

  12. F.... ....

    One of the best songs JD ever recorded, yet not even 100 000 views so far. Surely there ain't something right with this planet!

    F.... ....

    don't worry,.. those people who appreciate it know ;-)

    F.... ....

    The planet don't know

  13. T.... S....

    Room Full of People: Myself & my bong.

  14. M.... P....

    THAT BASS !!!!

  15. D.... L....

    ich bin ein unartige knabe . And so is my wife Marjorie

  16. C.... B....

    2018 something must break

  17. M.... K....

    ....Danke für deine Stimme....Ian....!

  18. d.... b....

    subbed so you could get to your first 1k , good luck with the next one

  19. B.... S....

    Pow muito bom. Joy division. Somzeira de primeira. Viajo no som deles.

  20. S.... ....

    OCCIDENT

  21. L.... J....

    Nous étions immortels dans les temps antérieurs. Une grande rupture doit s’amorcer pour déchirer cette vie qui n’est pas la nôtre, et nous permettre de retrouver Dieu.

  22. A.... P....

    A maior banda d todos os tempos

  23. C.... K....

    Qué barbaridad de canción, los sonidos atmosféricos y demoníacos a lo largo de todo el tema son puro Martin Hannet

  24. p.... ....

    It's the lyrics. All the transcriptions that I've seen give 'Washed up on the beaches, struggling for air' in the climactic line, but us teenagers after Still was released heard it as 'Like some kind of beetle, struggling for air', which is much better and fits with Curtis's outlook.

  25. e.... k....

    JD darkest song…Emergency before death.

  26. 1.... 1....

    Can't help but bang my head to this banger

    1.... 1....

    Me too. Am not a head banger lol but can't help it when listening to this 😘

  27. c.... ....

    Me enloquece esta canción.

  28. I.... R....

    That spaced out middle eight and its bass solo is just incredible.

  29. A.... ....

    this life isn't mine

    A.... ....

    and it's all so sad... and we live... we carry on - for him too...

    A.... ....

    AxelJPOG

    Existence well what does it matter?

    A.... ....

    The best lyric in the song.

  30. j.... ....

    Bassline sounds a real wristbreaker! can imagine Pete going nuts, swinging his big bass guitar about doing this tune!!

  31. E.... b....

    M'agrada aquest soroll.
    Soroll rabiós, inquiet i fràgil: com les nostres vides.

    E.... b....

    Electrical blood aquest Soto ll es super cool... aquesta canco potser te 40 anys... es musica molt i molt exclusiva..

  32. c.... ....

    the power if awkward lyrics.

  33. S.... ....

    This song gives me chills everytime I listen to it

    S.... ....

    Sounds like a nervous breakdown. Excellent .

    S.... ....

    Ian would probably have wanted it to have that effect.

  34. m.... k....

    Two ways to choose,
    On a razor's edge,
    Remain behind,
    Go straight ahead
    Room full of people, room for just one,
    If I can't break out now, the time just won't come
    Two ways to choose,
    Which way to go,
    Decide for me,

    If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong
    Two ways to choose,

    Washed up on the beaches, struggling for air
    I see your face still in my window,
    Torments yet calms, won't set me free,
    Something must break now,
    This life isn't mine,
    Something must break now,
    Wait for the time,
    Something must break

    m.... k....

    thank you

    m.... k....

    Cuts deep

    m.... k....

    Gracias. "Thank you"

  35. d.... ....

    Things are never so interesting as when one feels that something must break.

    May you live in interesting times.

    d.... ....

    Looks like we do

    d.... ....

    That's a curse and a blessing

    d.... ....

    @XRP Future Nah it's a curse.
