Joy Division, "Shadowplay"

Esta foi a primeira "aparição" dos Joy Division em televisão. A música, "Shadowplay" (Jogo de sombras), é acompanhada por um interessante poema sobre formas de manipulação neste mundo urbano pós-moderno.
Embora não seja uma das músicas emblemáticas da banda, é uma das minhas preferidas.


To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
