she was absolutely beautiful, might as well have been a model, gorgeous in every way
God only knows but you'll never leave her
you will never stop loving her no matter how hard you try even if you are denying it, technically only “god knows” because you will not even admit it to yourself but you will love this girl eternally, maybe not completely, but always she will be in your heart
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
maybe her sweetness is fading away, she isn’t how she used to be, she is falling apart, she no longer has composure, basically she is becoming jaded to this world, she wants an out , maybe not directly through suicide but somehow
When she gets his gun he's begging, "Babe stay, stay, stay, stay, stay."
his gun could be his heart…she can kill him by breaking his heart. his gun is love and she can destroy him by breaking it.. he needs her to stay, he wants her to stay he loves her
I'll give him one more time
they will try one more time, its all falling apart but they need to try he loves her and she needs him
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more line
There'll be a riot, cause I know you
they keep saying next time things suck its done, its over but we wont go down without a fight because they know how special what they have is, the two know that it wont fade away easily..not just fighting each other but fighting themselves on the inside, fighting the demons taunting them if it fails and the heartbreak
Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
if they don’t try it how will they ever know? you need to take leaps and risks in this life or you dont know what beauty you leave under the ground
And if you never eat, you'll never grow
if you don’t take care of yourself you wont become stronger…if you don’t EAT ie try something new like a relationship or love you’re not sure about, you wont learn how to live and be new in this world
You've got a pretty kinda dirty face
so many mixed emotions within this love
And when you're leaving your home she's begging you, "Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay."
so much love for one another, she begs him to never leave him ever but times are changing, he needs to go out and live
I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Just said one more line
There'll be a riot, cause I know you
again they just keep keeping everything alive through second chances and living on the torn strings at the end of the blanket trying to keep the fire burning and alive but it is so hard…it is so hard to keep it even though their love is so deep
Well, now that you've got your gun
its finally ended, they’ve hurt each other, they’ve shot each other…reality has forced the lovers apart and they must come to terms about it, im not quite sure what did it but the love ending is hurting them
It's much harder now the police have come
the police coming symbolize reality coming, the dangers of the world , how hard it is to keep the love once its under the scrutiny of the public and out there in the real adult world
Now shoot him if it's what you're worth
if you really care about him and you’re really a good person just cut this all off, no more second chances to be stolen or ROBBED from one another, please just let him and yourself move on
And if you just take off your mask
if you would just take off this façade, fake image you were putting on for everyone you would realize it is all so so wrong and you need to stop
To find out that everything's gone wrong, wrong, wrong.
its all different now its all wrong now cant you see it?? stop faking it move on let each other love others and see lightness, no more of this darkness anymore please , they both want to be past these gunshots they gave each other, but are so scared to see the other let their wounds heal
Now everybody's dead
no one is who they used to be, everybody has changed, no longer children or their past selves, who you used to know aren’t the same people anymore, maybe in the sense that your childhood town doesn’t embody the same people anymore , it is just the same place filled with different people, making it a new place.. everybody. is. dead.
And they're driving past my old school
all my old memories of our past and my own past are flooding in and its so changed and different
And he's got his gun, he's got his suit on
now he has a gun, he has the capability to hurt others because he has been hurt, he has his suit because he is older and grown up and a part of reality, he isn’t the hopeless dreamer he used to be
She says, "Babe, you look so cold, you look so cold, you look so cold, cold, cold, cold
You look so cold, you look so cold, you look so cold, cold, cold, cold, cold."
the ex lover sees him and he is hurt and jaded and sad to the world now … he seems fine on the outside but he is cold.. and the irony is she was the one who made his temperature drop
the lovers are robbing each others happiness and chances in this world from one another. they keep giving each other second chances, “one more fights” only to rob new chances from one another. they cant move on and grow in love because they are so caught up on what they used to have therefore becoming robbers of new things to one another
this persons trying too hard to be deep. you realize a balaclava is a kind of mask robbers wear? "her balaclava is starting to chafe". come on, man. maybe she's getting uncomfortable with being a either being a robber, or just having to hide in general. and she says babe you look so COOL. christ.

@lolo2 I agree with @michellesv not all lyrics have such deeply rooted meaning (actually not many do, people just try far too hard to read into crap). And yes, the lyrics says "Baby you look so cool"...

@lolo2 hey, thanks for posting this, I'm a big fan of The 1975 and this song. I loved your take on this song, and I think it's correct and appropriate, and combined with the video, it makes for an even more beautiful feeling, because the video is somewhat a literal representation of the lyrics in the song, and coupled with this deep meaning it's true magic. Also, I think there is one problem with your post, on the 5th line, 'There'll be a riot' is never said in the song. Please consider it and remove that. Thanks.
