| The 1975 – Sex Lyrics

To me, the song is very conflicting. To some extent, it seems the guy genuinely wants more than just sex from this girl who, against his best intentions, seems superficial and doesn't have a real concern for her "boyfriend" because she's clearly hooking up with someone else. The other side of it is the guy sees her as just a booty call, and wants more than the occasional blow-job; "If we're going to do anything we might as well just fuck" When he refers to her friends, "I'd take them all out any day" I wonder if he's referring to getting along with her friends or having sex with them as well. |

It sounds to me, at least, that he's speaking in first person only he's a drug (whether this is a stimulate or depressant, it varies). For instance, he starts with "I'll be your water. Bathing you clean. With liquid peace" he's referring to alcoholics then the following line is "I'll be your reefer. You'll breathe me in. You won't release" he isn't being metaphorical. Instead, he's being literal with the idea that drugs can creep into your life, and start taking the place of the most fundamental necessities (water, breathing). What solidifies this idea for me is the line, "So I'll be your liquor. Demons will drown and float away". Often, or typically I should say, you hear people drink to get rid of the demons. Here, it's implied the liquor will completely wash away any present sorrows the person is feeling. |
