True Faith
Joy Division / New Order Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
The lyrics of True Faith by Joy Division / New Order appear to be about a person who finds solace in a substance or an addiction. The song seems to express the feeling of being trapped by addiction, while at the same time the addiction is providing a sense of freedom. The opening lines of the song "I feel so extraordinary, Something's got a hold on me" gives the impression of being controlled by something or someone. The phrase "something's got a hold on me" can be interpreted as the addiction taking control of the person and changing their behavior.
The singer expresses that they are willing to take the risk of addiction because they are not concerned with the consequences of their actions. The lines "I don't care 'cause I'm not there, And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow, Again and again I've taken too much, Of the things that cost you too much" give the impression of someone who is in control of their addiction, but is also aware of the dangers that come with it.
The song also discusses the idea that childhood innocence and joy may have been lost and replaced by fear. The lines "My morning sun is the drug that brings me near, To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear" suggest that the addiction is providing some sense of comfort, even though it is not a true replacement for the happiness of childhood.

I feel so extraordinary
I am experiencing an extraordinary feeling
Something's got a hold on me
My emotions and thoughts are under the influence of an external force or situation
I get this feeling I'm in motion
I feel like I am moving forward
A sudden sense of liberty
I am suddenly experiencing a sense of freedom
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
I am absent and indifferent towards the current situation
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
I have no concern for my future existence
Again and again I've taken too much
I have indulged in excess repeatedly
Of the things that cost you too much
I have spent on things that led to negative consequences
I used to think that the day would never come
In the past, I believed that something desirable would never occur
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
I anticipated experiencing joy in the morning light
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
The morning sunlight is like a drug that leads me to relive lost childhood memories
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
My fear has replaced my memories of childhood
When I was a very small boy
In my childhood
Very small boys talked to me
I had conversations with other young boys
Now that we've grown up together
As we have matured
They're afraid of what they see
They are scared of who I have become
That's the price that we all pay
The negative outcome of growing up is a common experience we all face
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
Our fate holds no real worth
I can't tell you where we're going
It is impossible for me to predict our ultimate destination
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I assume that there was no way to predict the outcome
The chances are we've gone too far
We have likely overindulged and acted recklessly
You took my time and you took my money
You have consumed my time and resources
Now I fear you've left me standing
I am afraid you have abandoned me
In a world that's so demanding
The world is full of high expectations and demands
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I believed that my well-being relied on the morning sunlight
