* Many Joy Division songs are {{Tear Jerker}}s, but when Ian sings "For entertainment they watch his body twist / Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'" in "Atrocity Exhibition," and you remember about his epilepsy, you could definitely by forgiven for crying. The rest of the lyrics in the song do not help at all.

** "Ceremony" especially. Next to "In a Lonely Place", it was one of the last songs Ian recorded with the band before his death and really gives a depressing, haunting vibe on the Joy Division version.

** "Ceremony" especially. Next to "In a Lonely Place", it was one of especially, being the very last songs song Ian recorded with the band (specifically [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaiOgToofBo a studio rehearsal]] conducted just four days before his death and really gives a depressing, haunting vibe death). The vocals on Joy Division's surviving recordings of it may be near-inaudible, but that doesn't stop the Joy Division version.song from giving off a hauntingly depressive vibe.

* The band members' reaction to Ian's suicide can be considered this as well. For one thing, they ''didn't know he was at the verge of suicide''. They all have seen regretted not realizing what Ian was feeling, especially Stephen, who feels they could have prevented Ian's death.
* Arguably Ian's death holds a big curtain over the band. The pressure of a growing band mixed with his depression/epilepsy and his collapsing marriage with Deborah just kept pushing him over the edge until he took his life, leaving behind a dark legacy of his haunting and sad lyrics, coupled with leaving behind his daughter. ''Damn''.

''Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.''
* "Isolation" has an incredibly moving and personal verse that will move you to tears if you're unprepared. It sounds like Ian is unable to move past some sort of past trauma and any attempt to do so just deepens his feelings of self-loathing.
