SOTM - Shadowplay

Shadowplay a Joy Dvision cover by The Killers....most excellent song. It has become my song of Jan. 08. No good reason why. Read the lyrics and it doesn't fit me seeing how my month and relationship(s) have gone. But the undertone is quite haunting and I think that is was has allured me into playing the song over and over and over.

It's like that time on 90210 when Dylan dumped Brenda and she wouldn't stop listening to one song......I think it was by REM?? and don't laugh at me, I KNOW that you know what episode I'm talking about!

Shadowplay by The Killers
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
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 steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect
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

Good song. The music vid....not quite sure what to think. Unique but not brilliant in my mind. If I had known more about Joy Division, I'd may think differently.
