Lyric discussion by backinburntcity 

Cover art for Ceremony lyrics by New Order

I listen to this on repeat and I imagine my own inevitable suicide.

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Avenues all lined with trees Picture me and then you start watching Watching forever, forever, forever forever forever forever forever forever forever forever

I, too, listen to this song incessantly. I love the power of the lyrics, the driving beats of the drums, and especially the guitar and bass parts. (Pretty much the whole song.)

This song is beautiful, and strikes me to the core every single time I hear it. It reminds me that we all feel similiar feelings. We're all different, but we all yearn. "Ceremony" reminds me that happier times are best remembered as happy. And the realities are always harshest when they hit deep.

I don't know you, backinburntcity. But I do know we both have...

Not Valid

At backinburntcity I know these feelings all to well but holding out for hope and beauty in music and life is what Bernard and New Order do best because their loss of Ian. No one wants that for people they love and respect. Even when we don't feel it in ourselves know its a life force that is there for you and in you friend.

I just want to say that it's been seven years since I wrote this comment. I still listen to this song a lot, but I no longer want to die.

It's possible to heal from abuse & fight through depression, without pills too. Good luck to anyone else going through it.
