True Faith
Joy Division CrimethInc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel so extraordinary
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 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...

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...

Overall Meaning

"True Faith" by Joy Division CrimethInc is a song full of introspective lyrics that describe the search for freedom and the fear of growing up. The singer of the song feels like he is in motion because he is looking for something that is missing in his life. He is looking for a way to break free from the constraints of the world around him. The morning sun represents hope and the possibility of finding that freedom. However, it also represents fear because it reminds him of the childhood he lost.


The chorus of the song repeats twice, emphasizing the importance of the morning sun. The use of repetition highlights the significance of finding that hope and freedom. However, the singer also acknowledges that he has gone too far, and he has paid a price for it. He has lost time and money and is left standing in a demanding world.


The second verse implies that the singer has grown apart from his childhood friends. They are now afraid of him because they don't understand the person he has become. Ultimately, the song is about the search for the meaning of life and the value of destiny. It reminds the listener that life is full of possibilities, but the choices we make have consequences that we must accept.


Line by Line Meaning

I feel so extraordinary
I'm overwhelmed by a powerful and unusual sensation


Something's got a hold on me
I'm caught in the grip of an unknown force


I get this feeling I'm in motion
I sense that something is propelling me forward


A sudden sense of liberty
I feel a sudden burst of freedom


I don't care 'cause I'm not there
I don't care about what's going on because I'm detached


And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
I'm indifferent to what might happen tomorrow


Again and again I've taken too much
Repeatedly, I've indulged in excess


Of the things that cost you too much
Of those things which carry a high price tag


I used to think that the day would never come
I once believed that a certain day would never arrive


I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
I'd experience joy in the calm of the morning


My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
The morning light is the substance that draws me closer


To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
It brings me back to the innocence I lost, which was replaced by anxiety


When I was a very small boy,
In my earliest years,


Very small boys talked to me
I communicated with children my own age


Now that we've grown up together
Now that we've aged alongside each other


They're afraid of what they see
They're scared of the person I've become


That's the price that we all pay
This is the cost of growing up


And the value of destiny comes to nothing
The worth of fate amounts to nothing


I can't tell you where we're going
I don't know where we are headed


I guess there was just no way of knowing
I suppose it was impossible to predict


The chances are we've gone too far
It's likely that we've gone too far


You took my time and you took my money
You stole my time and my money


Now I fear you've left me standing
Now, I'm afraid that you've left me alone


In a world that's so demanding
In a world that is incredibly taxing


That my life would depend on the morning sun...
That my life would be determined by the morning light

I feel so extraordinary
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 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

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
