Way Of Life
New Order/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you once lived with someone else
The way of life that you had tried
The way they hurt you deep inside
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying
But I thought I could've seen you here today
But you leave me standing each and every way
You told me a pack of lies
That I can't even reason with
Failure of your moral code
The kind of things that I can't give
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
That's the only thing about it
I can't find anyone to doubt it
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying
Who do you think you're talking to?
When I look at you I know you're lying
All you say and do
Seems to fall apart and leave you crying
The lyrics to New Order's song Way of Life speak to the disappointment and frustration that comes with realizing someone you care about has been lying to you. The singer is addressing someone who has opened up to them and shared a painful past relationship, but as the song progresses it becomes clear that this person is not being truthful. The singer sees through their lies and can't understand why they can't be honest. The repetition of the line "who do you think you're talking to?" emphasizes the singer's exasperation with this person. The chorus is particularly poignant, with the lines "when I look at you I know you're lying, all you say and do seems to fall apart and leave you crying." This suggests that the person who is lying is not only hurting those around them, but also themselves.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of disappointment and betrayal. The singer expresses their frustration with the "pack of lies" they've been told, which they can't even reason with. The line "failure of your moral code" suggests that this person is not living up to their own standards or values. The singer understands that they can't change this person, but it still hurts them deeply.
Overall, the lyrics to Way of Life are a testament to the pain that comes with dishonesty and unfulfilled promises. The singer clearly cares about the person they're addressing, but is ultimately let down by their inability to be truthful. The repetition of certain lines throughout the song emphasizes the weight of the singer's disappointment.
