| Noah and the Whale – Now Is Exactly the Time Lyrics

It's about the end of adolescence, and how whilst one can occasionally feel nostalgic, it's time to let go of the feelings that dominated those years. It's time to focus on new goals, new aspirations and to understand what you didn't before. The song accepts the adult world and encourages one to take one look back for old time's sake and move on with the rest of life. |

The adolescent boy's parents are constantly worried for their son, and scared he'll do something stupid. The boy, however, sees them as overbearing and protective as a result and just wants to explore the world around him free from control. Sarah is involved in a more romantic than lustful relationship with this kid. He's planning an escape with her. |

It's about his parents splitting up and the fact that, since he's on tour, he can't look after his younger brother and there isn't anyone who'll really be looking out for him - he won't be a priority. |

| The 1975 – Me Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
To me it's about a young male who is crying out for help. He has derailed, as often many people do, to both escape the pain of living and 'watching [his] family die', as well as to try and get attention. He is in a dark place and desperately wants someone to give him some love and attention, and thus sets about destroying himself as a call for people to care. Whilst it is said in a matter of fact way, you can hear the frustration in the 'don't you mind?'
He eventually begins to try and illicit any reaction from those whom he loves, for he is searching for any kind of attention, and thus starts to attack his girlfriend's family ('I put your mother through hell') and his girlfriend herself ('I think I did something terrible to your body). He even considers killing himself to try and provoke a response, for then those around would realise how troubled he is and how much help he needs. Finally, he breaks down and says that he loves her even through this, and that she doesn't realise this. He feels no-one truly understands him, nor seems to feel anything towards him, be it hate, fear or love. |
