Here

Everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise
Heroes, idols cracked like ice

Here

Everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Pure frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So take a chance and step outside

Take a chance and step outside
Lose some sleep and say you tried
Meet frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves

So lose some sleep and say you tried
So lose some sleep and say you tried
So lose some sleep and say you tried
So lose some sleep and say you tried
Say you tried

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joy Division's song Autosuggestion appear to be about stepping outside of one's own thoughts and feelings in order to gain a new perspective. The repetition of "Here, here," creates a sense of confinement and restriction, suggesting that the singer is trapped within their own mind. The line "Everything is by design" implies that even the singer's thoughts and emotions are predetermined, perhaps making them feel powerless.


The chorus encourages the singer to take a chance and step outside of their own mind, to explore their hopes, dreams, and paradise. However, the song also acknowledges that doing so can be frustrating and may lead to disappointment or disillusionment. The lines "Heroes, idols cracked like ice" suggest that the singer may encounter disappointment when they confront reality.


Ultimately, the song seems to advocate for taking risks and embracing new experiences, even if it means losing sleep or facing frustration. While it may be tempting to stay within our own minds and cling to our preconceptions, the song suggests that stepping outside of our comfort zones can lead to personal growth and a greater understanding of the world around us.

Here, here,
Everything is by design,
Everything is by design.
Here, here,
Everything is kept inside.
So take a chance and step outside,
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise.
Heroes, idols cracked like ice.

So take a chance and step outside.
Pure frustration face to face.
A point of view creates more waves,
So take a chance and step outside.

Lose some sleep and say you tried.
Meet frustration face to face.
A point of view creates more waves.
So lose some sleep and say you tried.

So lose some sleep and say you tried.
Say you tried.
Say you tried.
Say you tried.
