This is one of Joy Division's most poignant songs. A lot of people say it's about Ian Curtis's epilepsy, but it was written a long time before he was diagnosed and I don't think it can be related.

It's more about a commentary of depression and bi-polar disorder - the song is called "Digital" to reflect the off/on nature of bi-polar state which is reflected in the lyrics(eg "day in, day out") - some lines speak for themselves too (eg "as patterns seem to form / I feel it cold and warm".
