Chocolate

I think it's about how people who have questionable lifestyles, such as those of drug use or crime, don't see their actions the way everyone else does. While we see them using drugs, we would "call it a spliff", but to them, it "smells like chocolate". People never perceive their own actions to be as bad as they would perceive them to be if they saw someone else doing it, and I think that might be what this song is about.

In an interview, Matty says this song is about "me and my mates knocking around in my hometown. It is a kind of love letter to the kind of relationships we had with authority figures, be it our parents or the police. its kind of a story about small town boredom."

To me, this song is a serenade or an ode of sorts to when a guy likes a girl and the time they spend together, just doing wild crazy teenager stuff. He believes life is sweet when their together ('chocolate') and he doesn't ever want them to break up or give up their time together ('quit it'). I tend to envision some cool teenagers having fun around town together when I hear this song. They don't want their time together to end ('quit'). They prefer to be youthful and rebellious and have a good time.

Its about his sister, she was a heroin addict and she used to tell him that her syringes were her 'guns which she use to hide ("guns hidden under our petticoat"), the 'chocolate' refers to the heroin and he wrote this song in a blur of emotions he must have been experiencing at the time, he never meant for it to be released from his computer but somehow it made its way onto soundcloud

This screams heroin to me... As a recovering opiate/opiod addict of over 3 years, I felt that way as soon as I heard it.

I've heard tar called chocolate, and needles as guns. Besides the slang terms used, what really caught my ear was when he says "Hey now you say you're gunna' quit it but you're never gunna' quit it."

Heroin is literally the hardest drug habit to kick. I can't tell you how many times I've heard something similar come out of a friends mouth, over and over and over again.

Chocolate is another word for weed or pot. The boys in the blue are the ones that don't want to legalize weed. (Or the police officers) The ones in the black are the ones that want it legalized. They are hiding guns to protect themselves in case they get caught. They are never going to stop smoking it. They need to go somewhere where they won't get caught and everything smells like pot after they smoke it

It's about a bunch of friends who've been smoking "chocolate" (pot) in their car and are now being pursued by the cops (the boys in blue). I'm pretty sure the line is NOT "bite your friend like chocolate" but "Oh your friends smell like chocolate". The singer has a pretty strong accent, but I think it's more likely that smoking weed makes you smell like weed rather than bite people.

I think its about heroin . Sometimes heroin users buy a bar of chocolate for the tin foil inner wrapper to smoke the heroin .a roll of of tin foil in your car will alert the cops if they stop you. When you smoke ymthe heroin your car your car smells of chocolate . ( don't ask ) some of the band members look like user,s to me thin washy and pale

To me it resonates as being about doing everything you're not supposed to do. Chocolate is most definitely imagery for a drug (Probably pot) and the rest of it seems to narrate the finer points of a more edgy lifestyle.

I always thought it was about "the chocolate"..specifically hash. it looks like chunks of chocolate. they're running away from the police because their car smells like hash. ya know?

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?
