about

A pretentious self-defeating attempt at a diss-track directed towards Matty Healy. Despite an easy first reading of the lyrics, the song isn't actually a negative attack on The 1975. It's a lot more about my feelings towards a popular band and a look at my own insecurities. A lot of the lyrics are Matty Healy lyrics which have been twisted and changed to fit this self-serving narrative. There are countless references to numerous of their songs, like Petrichor, Give Yourself a Try, Love It If We Made It, The Man Who Married a Robot and their second album.

With the production, I intentionally went all over the place mashing contrasting sounds together into something quite unique for a Parachute Words song.

Thanks to everyone who helped me make this crazy idea into reality

lyrics

Say a prayer when you rise and
Oh beware of the hight
As I’d love it if I made it, baby
Matty why can’t you help me please

Can’t relax, or face the facts
Don’t deny hard earned cash
I’ll never see your inbox, baby
Never feel the weight of your day

Help me out, with some clout
Help me to drain the doubt
As I try to show my envy, baby
In the most post-modern way

Won’t you give me a try
Won’t you give me a try
Won’t you give me a try
Won’t you give me a try
Won’t you give me a try
Won’t you give me a try
So just give me a try

They make catchy tunes, erm,
they clearly don’t take themselves
seriously enough to worry about
their, what anyone thinks of them
Because I mean, they just don’t care
They just sort of do anything don’t they?
They just, they just like, even though some of their stuff-
Like they don’t care that it’s super lame
Where as other bands tie themselves up in knots, like ohh
Where these guys clearly, just like, want to be popular
They are a pop act, and they have basically jump on like
a million zeitgeists at once and then melded them into a band
It’s very clever

I mean, they freaking got Greta to just talk
on a track and then they went: To-Tom-To-To in the background
I mean - it’s very, very good
I wouldn’t go see them
