[@yeetusthatfeetus9722]

@@calebsmith322 It's nothing like that mate, the lyrics are "you do make me hard, but she makes me weak" meaning she made him feel complete, happy. Whilst the girl in the song that he refers to as "his mistake" makes him feel the opposite. She makes him feel isolated, alone and not like himself.

wait i thought he was referring to when a girl had sinned and confessed to Jesus while crying and wiped her tears off of his feet with her hair, and she was compared to his “mistake” girl and he compared the girl he was really in love with to Jesus or like an angel or smth. i found that info in a random website tho

[@TravelingYeti12]

My husband left me for a younger woman and I always felt like he ran to her as a way of holding onto the younger version of me. He immediately regretted it after we divorced and sent me long messages about how she would wear perfume and it reminded him of me. How she would rub his earlobes and he hated it because it was something "We" did together. It's been years and he still sends me letters telling me about how he misses things about me. I feel so bad for the people who are "mistakes". But I also feel sad for the person that was left behind. So many hearts are ripped apart. 😫

[@enli3389]

This song is about a man who is only vulnerable around one particular woman. Even though she has left him, she still remains as the love of his life, till this very day. He is an independent man who loves his solitude, but yet he is the best version around her. And without her, he is crushed. He believes that he is broken, and commit acts out of foolishness because he knows he has nothing left. Nothing to lose. And deep down, as much as he hates to admit it, he wishes he could go back in time and relive the happiest days of his life. Because no matter what happens, or who he meets in the future, he already knows, he had the best. And he lost the best.

[@elizabetho5320]

i was the mistake. he was the first guy i truly had fall in love with. he had just broken up with his gf. which now i realize i was the rebound. sometimes i smell his cologne out of nowhere. i miss the feeling of butterflies in my stomach. the one motivation i had for waking up. he helped me through so much and he’s gone. the one thing that made me happy disappeared one day. i was in love with him and life. i slowly watched him fall in love with another girl. i get that she’s pretty and not boring. just watching him create amazing memories with her hurts so bad. i wish he would’ve gave me closure or something. im still friends with him but it’s not the same. it’s been a year now and im still in love with him. im still stuck on the idea of what we could’ve been. i pray and hope he’s happy. i miss him Edit: it’s been 5 months since I posted the original comment. i rarely talk to him. i am in peace with myself. things get better Edit: it’s been about 2-3 years. Still see him around school and is dating one of my friends. I manage to make small talk to him but it’s crazy how we both voluntarily forget those things. Glad that I’m not blind to see the immatureness, selfishness, and manipulativeness he is now

[@marianabranquinho77]

I was in the same situation as you. I still miss him sometimes but trust me, it will get better with time. Just don't give up and keep your head up. He's not worth it. You deserve much better.

[@wiwiwonka5628]

This is the most vulnerable and important song on the album in my opinion. Also it is a huge turning point for the whole record. I feel like without the pain from "be my mistake" there wouldn't be the lesson from "sincerity is scary" to just be honest and have the bravery to be "human" in this life. And without the lesson from "sincerity is scary" there wouldn't be the insight from "I couldn't be more in love" and most of all the bravery to actually admit that insight. And without that, there wouldn't be the hopeful approach about the topic in "I always wanna die (sometimes)", because love is the only thing that makes "the human experience" woth it. Basically: This whole album needed "be my mistake" to evolve the way it did.

[@mckennacunningham7163]

One thing that I really appreciate about this song is the pure transparency of it. He doesn’t try to defend his mistakes; he sings very honestly about them. The sense of regret is palpable in his voice, as he sounds like he’s on the verge of tears the whole time he sings. It’s just very vulnerable and I respect the honesty of it. It shows that we as humans do have flaws and do make mistakes and he turned something unfortunate into something beautiful. Respect, Matty 👍🏼

I let go of the love of my life, together over 5 years 4 months ago. Went from teenagers to adults together. She was an absolute diamond in the rough and always believed in me. She held me through depression despite it being so difficult for her. She gave me some of the happiest memories and experiences that I'll forever cherish until the day I die. We both loved this band and saw them multiple times together, robbers was our love song. I'm hoping one day in the future we will reconcile despite how she feels now, if that day never comes I wish her eternal happiness and joy in her life as I am not selfish to stand in the way of that. Goodbye baby. You weren't a mistake. The only mistake was letting you go. There will always be a part of me that loves you. Always. God bless The 1975

[@skyemc5455]

this song always messes me up, it reminds me of all the good times. i listened to it whenever he’d upset me or when he’d break my heart over and over again, and now i listen to it with a final broken heart. i miss him, but now i don’t want him back. it’s a toxic kind of missing someone like sometimes late at night my body screams for him to be near but most of the time it is praising me for not being with him anymore

Guys. Be good to each other. Think before you choose your partner. Discuss before getting into a relationship. Discuss even before having casual sex. Be honest. It hurts to be left, it hurts for life. A permanent hole never to be filled. Love with caution. It is a dangerous beautiful thing. ☮️

[@wiwiwonka5628]

This is the most special and personal song on ABIIOR in my opinion and a huge turning point for the whole album.The feat Matty pulled off in this song is that you empathize with all 3 parties involved. You feel for "the girlfriend" because she gets cheated on despite truly loving the man (Matty). But you also do feel bad for the other woman (or maybe women) he uses just to ease his pain from time to time. He doesn't really treat her (or any of them) as a self-contained, living human with her (or their) own feelings, needs and wants and that never feels good to anyone. And you can feel that deep down the man himself feels like that it's not fair to use someone solely for your own pleasure or conveniences without being able to give something back emotionally to that person. And in the end you also do feel empathy for "the cheater" because most of us know the feeling of hurting so much inside, you do things against your own morals to ease the pain inside you, cause you find some relieve from that pain in these short-lived moments of satisfaction.. No one likes to suffer, that's pretty human I think. But you do understand that he truly loves "the girlfriend" he just isn't strong enough sometimes to not give into his own demons. I think we all can relate to that to a certain extent, because we all fuck up sometimes and have hurt somebody without wanting to. The song shows you all "3 angles" of the topic of "cheating": the cheater, the cheated on, and the cheated with. In the end you just understand and feel the pain from all of them and that's something really special in my opinion. But without the pain in "be my mistake" there would have never been the lesson from "sincerity is scary" to just be honest and have the bravery to be "human" in this life. Without that lesson from "sincerity is scary" there wouldn't be the insight from "I couldn't be more in love" and most of all the bravery to actually admit that insight and without that, there wouldn't be the hopeful approach about the topic in "I always wanna die (sometimes)", because love is the only thing that makes "the human experience" woth it! Basically: This whole album needed "be my mistake" to evolve the way it did.

I felt this song was meant for me. It spoke to me directrly to my heart. Seldom I have songs directly hitting my situation. See, I have this guy. We go out, we spend time, I feel something for him , I knw he feels something also. But, his ex was his life. He always talks about her when we were together. All his regrets. I know. I could feel. He just gets to be with me because he is lonely. He doesnt have someone. Like a reserve. I know and I feel, he only thinks about me when he is sad. Just like this song... All the lyrics hits to me.

this sounds like your very first heart-broken from love, the very first experience where you never know it would hurt that much, the very first love where you thought it would last long than you expected, the very first romance that made your life happy, very first kisses, very first hugs and very first romances. and after all that happened, u became lonely and weak yet you survive each day and try to be happy and hoping you would find love again just like the other one that has gone.

Because it is heartfelt. I think Matt must really relate to the song. But read my other posts here and understand that while it is ok to be sad the person is not there or not as much there as you'd like.....be thankful for what you shared..and rejoice. As a woman...reject terms such as slut and whore. Let the bullshit wash over and past you like a wave. Know that you will have more loves in your life unless you give up. Dont do that and dont be afraid. Love.

[@m_gwb]

I was the mistake. But I didn't know until it was over, he broke it off because she wanted to get back together with him. Before he left he explained everything about how she loves this girl and that he would dropped everything for her even after she had broken his heart a million times. The worst thing about this is that since we worked really well together I genuinely thought that we were soulmates (I still do) the only problem is that.. I wasn't her. "You're just like her but you're not her" is a sentence I will never forget.

[@staceyorr2075]

This really hit home. To me, it seems like he was in love with someone deeply before things ended. So, he fell in love again with someone without realizing she simply had a few reminders of his last girl. Therefore, these reminders brought back his guilt which was stronger than his recent love. The thought of her makes him weak because he didn’t truly give the time to move on. Nothing comforts him except for sleep. Maybe it’s because he can dream of her.

[@karlapascual2327]

wow, when he says “save all the jokes you’re going to make while i see how much drink i can take, then be my mistake” i felt that so hard!! it’s difficult feeling like you enjoy the attention but knowing it’s not exactly innocent. we loved each other for five years and then some but sometimes you meet someone and it’s for the better and a little bit for the worst and then some :/
