[@iCollectCans]

I understood everything he said lol

[@donnydanko2718]

He's telling people to be vulnerable. on our instagrams people hide behind the images of being rich, happy and successful. When really most of us are on depressed twitter retweeting things like "someone fucking kill me". Matty's telling us to stop hiding behind either of these things and just be vulnerable with our friends. To be sincere. because it's easy to be negative and hopeless, who wouldn't? the world is a terrible place. But he's saying that we can work our way out of it by being sincere about our ambitions, hopes and dreams and vulnerable about our fears and traumas.

I think it has to do with him saying that art isn’t this whole planned and strategic thing but more instinctual. Maybe they were just kinda spur of the moment lyrics.

“Like social media breeds us to be incredibly insecure beings. My self esteem isn’t really wrapped up in social media. Because my relationship with social media is kind of like, this is what I do.

I really love hearing him explain the into, as an aspiring/working musician. It is really difficult to say "alright that song is done". -Because of the fact that you want it perfect.

To take such complex ideas and simplify them down into lyrics is what makes Matty Healy an intellectual and creative genius. In culture, it's either one or the other or none. To have both is rare, which is why The 1975's music is so loved by the fans.
