Opening the song with the lyric, “I’ve got a God-shaped hole that’s infected,” Healy states that he has a space for wanting religion in his mind, but it is infected, as in he cannot find something to believe in.
If she says, ‘I’ve got to fix my teeth,’ then she’s so American.” This references the cultural differences and values between Brits and Americans (Americans tend to care more about fixing their teeth, and also find people with British accents to be intelligent).įavorite lyric: “Don’t fall in love with the moment and think you’re in love with the girl.” The song could be seen as comical (or even insulting to American girls) when Healy sings, “If she likes it ‘cause we just don’t eat and we’re so intelligent, she’s American. With the lyrics, “Look he’s having a breakdown! Oh what a let down, a shame, I think he might die!” Healy references the breakdown he had on stage in Boston on December 6, 2014. Much like other songs of The 1975, “She’s American” starts with low music that gradually crescendos up to a drum fill and then sparks a funky guitar riff that continues throughout the song. And then you took a picture of your salad and put it on the Internet.”

Someone give this band a round of applause for being such lyrical geniuses.įavorite lyric: “You said I’m full of diseases, your eyes were full of regret. In the band’s song “Robbers”, Healy sings, “She had a face straight out a magazine, God only knows but you’ll never leave her,” to which he replies with "A Change Of Heart" saying, “You used to have a face straight out a magazine, now you just look like anyone.” Similar parallels include lyrics from “The City” where Healy sings, “You wanna find love then you know where the city is,” to which he responds, “I never found love in the city.” Lastly, in response to The 1975’s song “Sex” when Healy sings, “And this is how it starts, you take your shoes off in the back of my van,” "A Change Of Heart" retorts, “Then she said, ‘I’ve been so worried about you lately, you were fit but you’re losing it.’ ‘You played a part, this is how it starts.’” As one of my favorite songs on the album, I think Healy’s merged lyrics of his old songs versus his new songs represent the “change of heart” in their new music. This nostalgic song references old songs from their first album. The 1975 takes a turn by slowing their next track down with "A Change Of Heart". I think I lost my phone so won’t you call it up for me?”
Though it might seem like a dance song, the lyrics are the opposite of upbeat, describing the comedown from a high and the side effects of it, but as Outkast once said, “Y’all don’t want to hear me, you just want to dance.”įavorite lyric: “Oh, the kick won’t last for long, but the song only lasts three minutes. "UGH!"Īrguably a Chocolate 2.0 (both songs are about substance abuse), "UGH!" uses groovy guitar strokes and electronic beats to get an 80’s techno vibe. This fun, upbeat tempo that has you moving your feet is about self-awareness, as lead singer Matty Healy says, “I’m just making an observation on the glaringly obvious superficial elements that surround my life and the kind of culture that I feed into.”įavorite lyric: “You look famous, let’s be friends and portray we possess something important.” The band’s first single was a shock to many fans, a groovy beat that almost sounds as if it could replace “Fame” on David Bowie’s "Young Americans" album (which, fun fact, came out in 1975). Starting the album with a track called "The1975" (the same title as the first track on the first album) to me seems like the band’s way of saying, “H ey, this is a new era for us and our music might sound different, but we’re still the same band.” The beginning of the track even sounds very similar to the beginning of the first “The 1975.”įavorite lyric: “Step into your skin? I’d rather jump into your bones.”
