| The 1975 – Pressure Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This is a song about a guy asking his girlfriend about other guys she's been with. The girl thinks the guy is being overly dramatic, but by the end he assures her he's being serious. "You've seen so many faces that I've never seen before." (You've been with so many guys whom I'm not familiar with.) "I left an unrewarding message telling you to come on." (I sent you a stern message asking you to tell me about these guys, which should be an obligation to you anyway since we're in a relationship.) "Over dramatic, automatically assume I'll stay the same." (I'm being too dramatic for you, and you think I'm not really like this and I must be disingenuous right now.) "There's a change in pressure." "We're never gonna lie to you." (I'm just putting some pressure on you, I'm not lying about my passionate concern.) [When the narrator says "we're", he's referring to both himself and his "broken veins", AKA his heart damaged from failed, past relationships.] "My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating, we'll bleed the same way." "Oh, my broken veins say." (My damaged heart knows that if my passion for you goes away, we'll both be hurt. Therefore, appreciate my concern.) "Well I stay tuned, and listen to the news, and try to fall asleep at night." "Because I'm living in a house with just three walls, so I'm always getting recognized." (I live a transparent life very open to the people around me, and I clearly exhibit this due to my inoffensive, simple lifestyle. Therefore, it's unlikely that I'd lie or be disingenuous towards you.) |
