| The 1975 – Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think it's about the speaker having got a young girl, too young to be a mum, pregnant, and can't deal with the consequences of her having to have an abortion. 'I gave you something you can never give back' - a child 'Seen your face like a heart attack' - her shock at realising she's pregnant 'I think I did something terrible to your body' - got her pregnant and she had to have an abortion 'I put your mother through hell, I hurt your brother as well' - her family hate him for it 'I got on a plane in the middle of the night' - he left her without really telling her 'I'm sorry but I'd rather be getting high than watching my family die' - I think this is explaining why he left, he couldn't face seeing his child be killed 'I nearly killed somebody' - I think this line is referring to the girl, not that he literally nearly killed her but having to look after a small child would've meant the end of the life she knew And the repeated 'don't you mind, don't you mind' - he's saying that you doesn't need to worry, you'll be okay, and don't worry about us because it's over now Like the last line, 'I love you, don't you mind, don't you mind.' He loves her but it makes no odds now that their relationship is over. That's just my interpretation. But this whole song is incredibly beautiful and sad, whatever way you look at the lyrics. And the last line just about breaks my heart :'( |

| The 1975 – Woman Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It's about a prostitute, presumably named Eileen, who Matt met when he was younger and said she was lovely. He fell a bit in love with her and I guess that's why he wrote a song about her. | |
| Bastille – Albatross Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I wonder why you have titled the song 'albatross'? That just confuses people. | |
| The 1975 – Chocolate Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
well its not 'call it a spliff' its 'call it a split' also it's not 'said its better than hanging on' its 'said the feds are here you know' its about kids smoking weed in their cars cos and the policeman trying to arrest them because there's no proper crime to deal with the chocolate is a reference to the drugs (obviously) i still don't understand the petticoats bit though? |
