    I turned 63 today and I am setting alone in my small apartment listening to this and truly feeling the heartache of getting old in a world that does not care for anything more than youth and money. It all passes so quickly. One day you're 16 and the world is bright and shiny and new and the next it is all old and broken and will never be fixed! Thank you for this song for my birthday!

      I'm 52 years old too. In the last few years my research into ancient and modern cosmology, ancient languages (particularly Hebrew and Greek), occult symbolism and secret societies, and plasma physics has led me to the conclusion that Earth is not spinning or moving at all and is a little over 6,000 years old.

      @@SubconsciousGatherer The Michelson-Morley, Michelson-Gale, Sagnac Effect, and Airy's Failure experiments all proved that Earth is stationary. Then, along came the fuzzy-haired crackpot Einstein with his bogus equations to obfuscate the proof. WMAP also proved geocentrism. The problem is, the scientific community is mostly
      1. controlled by the ancient mystery religion who know the truth but promote a lie (heliocentrism/gravity/relativity). This includes NASA.
      2. blinded by the influence of those lies.
      There are no lies in the inspired Scriptures and they reveal geocentrism and the true nature of the cosmos within the languages used (Hebrew and Greek). For example, Amos 9:6 describes the cosmos as a multi-layered torus formed from electromagnetic "bands" (Hebrew: _aguddah_). Genesis 8:2 describes those bands as forming a lattice (Hebrew: _arubbah_). You can get an idea of this magnetic lattice structure with a homemade ferrocell and a magnet. The sun, moon, and stars are all contained within that torus which is generated by Earth's electromagnetic core. It rotates once per day. The entire universe is electromagnetic. There is no gravity.
      The Scriptures also reveal that this powerful ancient secret society also control governments and empires, past and present, which includes their scientific communities. (Revelation 17:9)
      In addition, the ancient occult fleur-de-lis symbol and the Egyptian djed pillar represent the backbone of that torus. You can see the symbol everywhere you go, including on and in ancient religious and government buildings, and even on railings and ironworks at the end of people's driveways and roofs, sometimes with the solar cross integrated.
      The man who invented gravity, Isaac Newton, was an occultist who was Grand Master of a secret society known as the Priory of Sion. Their emblem is, in part, the fleur-de-lis.
      I have created videos revealing this knowledge and I also present more evidence in my Quora science Space. Believe me, this knowledge will soon be validated. (Daniel 12:4) Then I will receive my "Nobel Prize" from my nobel God who sent me to restore all these things and to bring light to all nations. (Matthew 17:11; Isaiah 49:5,6)

      I know we all hear the clock ticking a little louder every year, but if anyone deserves to claim this as an anthem, it would be the Baby Boomers. They've been reduced to a dismissive meme ("ok boomer") yeah some of them deserve it, but many of them don't. They know better than us what it feels like when society decides you're no longer relevant.
      (Yes, I know someone very clever and edgy is going to reply "ok boomer" to me lol, go for it.)

    Such a great tune. I'll be 60 next year, and have no idea where the time has gone. It's frightening, really. I first started listening to Soft Cell in 1981, when I was 18. I still love their music.
    A favourite track of theirs is also about aging: it's the achingly sad 'Youth' from 'Non Stop Erotic Cabaret'. It gets more real the older I get, I have found.

      I live in a rural part of the UK, and in the early 1980's, some of the inhabitants weren't blessed with much imagination - I was once refused service in a country pub, for the simple reason that I was wearing black nail polish. For some reason, that offended the landlord. No mention was made of my hair, or the bangles, or the eyeshadow. No. The nail polish really annoyed him. My friends and I had no trouble from the other drinkers in the pub - indeed, a few had a go at the landlord, when he refused to serve me.

    Lyrics.
    Let's get out of this life
    I'm afraid and alone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    My time goes so slow
    And I don't know how the show will end
    I'm losing all my feeling
    Emotion I pretend
    So let's get out of this life
    I'm afraid and alone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    Let's get out of this life
    I'm afraid and alone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    All the fleeting moments of beauty
    You blinked and then they were gone
    Now you're sitting there wondering
    Just where it all went wrong
    No glory, no glamour, too many confusions
    Coloring all my delusions
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    One day you will wake
    From your sleep of the dead
    Kick out the strangers
    Asleep in your bed
    And you'll cry out
    Let's get out of this life
    I'm afraid and alone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    Let's get out of this life
    I'm afraid and alone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    Let's get out of this life (purple zone)
    I'm afraid and alone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
    Paralyzed in the purple zone
