Go down
Soft sound
Midnight
Car lights
Playing with the air
Breathing in your hair
Go down
Soft sound
Step into your skin?
I'd rather jump in your bones
Taking up your mouth, so you breathe through your nose

Give Yourself A Try
You learn a couple things when you get to my age
Like friends don't lie and it all tastes the same in the dark
When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times
You're getting spiritually enlightened at 29
So just give yourself a try
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
I found a grey hair in one of my zoots
Like context in a modern debate, I just took it out
The only apparatus required for happiness
Is your pain and f*cking going outside
And getting STDs at 27 really isn't the vibe
Jane took her own life at 16
She was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm
And I was 25 and afraid to go outside
A millennial that baby-boomers like
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
And what would you say to your younger self?
Growing a beard's quite hard
And whiskey never starts to taste nice
And you'll make a lot of money, and it's funny
'Cause you'll move somewhere sunny and get addicted to drugs
And spend obscene amounts on f*cking seeds and beans online
So just give yourself a try
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
Like friends don't lie and it all tastes the same in the dark
When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times
You're getting spiritually enlightened at 29
So just give yourself a try
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
I found a grey hair in one of my zoots
Like context in a modern debate, I just took it out
The only apparatus required for happiness

And I was 25 and afraid to go outside

Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?

Tootimetootimetootime
You wet my eyes but I don't mind it
I tell you lies but it's only sometimes
You pick a fight and I'll define it
I swear that I, I swear that I
I only called her one time, maybe it was two times
Don't think it was three times, can't be more than four times
Think we need to rewind, you text that boy sometimes!
Must be more than three times!
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
She said that I, I should have liked it
I told her "I only use it sometimes"
Except when I, I need reminding
I'm petrified, I'm petrified
But I only called her one time
Maybe it was two times?
Don't think it was three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
You wet my eyes but I don't mind it
I tell you lies but it's only sometimes
You pick a fight and I'll define it
I swear that I, I swear that I
I only called her one time, maybe it was two times
Don't think it was three times, can't be more than four times
Think we need to rewind, you text that boy sometimes
Must be more than three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
(One time ya, one time ya, one time ya
Two time ya, one, I only called her one time)
Oh, two-time ya, two-time ya
(Oh one, one time, two time, three time ya
One, one time, two time, three time ya)
I only called her one time, maybe it was two times?
Don't think it was three times, can't be more than four times
Think we need to rewind, you text that boy sometimes
Must be more than three times
Didn't mean to two-time ya, two-time ya
(One time, oh, one time, three time, four time
Three time, four time, two time, three time)
You're textin', oh, yeah
(One time, oh, one time, three time, four time
Three time, four time, two time, three time)
I tell you lies but it's only sometimes
You pick a fight and I'll define it
I swear that I, I swear that I
I only called her one time, maybe it was two times
Don't think it was three times, can't be more than four times

How to Draw / Petrichor
I've not learned how to draw
I've not learned how to draw
What if you die with all of the cameras?
Take something and then make it brand new
Try and do anything fourteen times
Love yourself like someone you love, one you love
Don't take any of my advice
Write
Write a letter to your future self who won't change
Don't let the internet ruin your time
They can take anything as long as it's true
What they can't take is you telling them lies, lies, lies
I've not learned how to draw
What if you die with all of the cameras?
Take something and then make it brand new
Try and do anything fourteen times
Love yourself like someone you love, one you love
Don't take any of my advice
Write
Write a letter to your future self who won't change
Don't let the internet ruin your time
They can take anything as long as it's true
What they can't take is you telling them lies, lies, lies

Love It If We Made It
We're f*cking in a car, shooting heroin
Saying controversial things just for the hell of it
Selling melanin and then suffocate the black men
Start with misdemeanours and we'll make a business out of them
And we can find out the information, access all the applications
That are hardening positions based on miscommunication
Oh! F*ck your feelings, truth is only hearsay
We're just left to decay, modernity has failed us
And I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
And poison me daddy
I got the Jones right through my bones
Write it on a piece of stone
A beach of drowning three year olds
Rest in peace Lil Peep
The poetry is in the streets
Jesus save us!
Modernity has failed us
And I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
Tell me something I didn't know
Consultation degradation
Fossil fuelling masturbation
Immigration liberal kitsch
Kneeling on a pitch
"I moved on her like a bitch!"
Excited to be indicted
Unrequited house with seven pools
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
The war has been incited
And guess what? You're all invited
And you're famous
Modernity has failed us
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
Tell me something I didn't know
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
Saying controversial things just for the hell of it
Selling melanin and then suffocate the black men
Start with misdemeanours and we'll make a business out of them
And we can find out the information, access all the applications

Be My Mistake
And be my mistake
And turn out the light
She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't wanna hug
I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet
So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard
But she makes me weak
And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
And turn out the light
She bought me those jeans
The ones you like
I don't wanna hug
I just wanna sleep
The smell of your hair
Reminds me of her feet
So don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard
But she makes me weak
And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait 'til I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes
Save all the jokes you're gonna make
While I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake

Sincerity Is Scary
And irony's okay, I suppose
Culture is to blame
You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way
You lack substance when you say
Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
It's just a self-referential way
That stops you having to be human
I'm assuming you'll balloon
When you remove the dirty spoon
And start consuming like a human
That's what I am assuming
I'm sure that you're not just another girl
I'm sure that you're gonna say that that was sexist
I feel like you're running out
Of all the things I liked you for
Why can't we be friends when we are lovers?
'Cause it always ends with us hating each other
Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say
And why would you believe you could control how you're perceived
When at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?
Keep on putting off conceiving
It's only you that you're deceiving
Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it
Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
'Cause it always ends with us hating each other
Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say
I'm just pissed off because you pied me off
After your show when you let go of my hand
In front of some sket who wanted bit on your
Nah, I'm just messing
Culture is to blame
You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way
You lack substance when you say
Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
It's just a self-referential way
That stops you having to be human
I'm assuming you'll balloon
When you remove the dirty spoon
And start consuming like a human
That's what I am assuming
I'm sure that you're not just another girl
I'm sure that you're gonna say that that was sexist

The Man Who Married a Robot / Love Theme
This is a story about a lonely, lonely man
He lived in a lonely house, on a lonely street
In a lonely part of the world
But, of course, he had the internet
The internet, as you know was his friend
You could say his best friend
They would play with each other everyday
Watching videos of humans doing all sorts of things
Having sex with each other
Informing people on what was wrong with them and their life
Playing games with young children at home with their parents
One day, the man, whose name was @SnowflakeSmasher86
Turned to his friend, the internet, and he said, "Internet, do you love me?"
The internet looked at him and said, "Yes
I love you very, very, very, very, very, very much
I am your best friend
In fact, I love you so much that I never, ever want us to be apart, ever again, ever"
"I would like that", said the man
And so they embarked on a life together
Wherever the man went, he took his friend
The man and the internet went everywhere together
Except, of course, the places where the internet could not go
They went to the countryside
They went to birthday parties of the children of some of his less important friends
Different countries, even the moon
When the man got sad, his friend had so many clever ways to make him feel better
He would get him cooked animals
And show him the people having sex again
And he would always, always agree with him
This one was the man's favorite and it made him very happy
The man trusted his friend so much
"I feel like I could tell you anything," he said, on a particularly lonely day
"You can, you can tell me anything
I'm your best friend, anything you say to me will stay strictly between you and the internet"
And so he did, the man shared everything with his friend
All of his fears and desires
All of his loves, past and present
All of the places he had been and was going, and pictures of his penis
He would tell himself, "Man does not live by bread alone"
And then he died in his lonely house, on the lonely street, in that lonely part of the world
You can go on his Facebook
He lived in a lonely house, on a lonely street
In a lonely part of the world
But, of course, he had the internet
The internet, as you know was his friend
You could say his best friend
They would play with each other everyday
Watching videos of humans doing all sorts of things

Inside Your Mind
I've been watching you walk
I've been learning the way that you talk
The back of your head is at the front of my mind
Soon I'll crack it open just to see what's inside your mind
Inside your mind
Maybe I will wait until you're fast asleep
Dreaming things I have the right to see
Maybe you are dreaming you're in love with me
The only option left is look and see, inside your mind
Inside your mind
I can show you the photographs
Of you getting on with life
I've had dreams where there's blood on you
All those dreams where you're my wife
Inside your mind
Inside your mind
Inside your mind
Inside your mind
I've been learning the way that you talk
The back of your head is at the front of my mind
Soon I'll crack it open just to see what's inside your mind
Inside your mind
Maybe I will wait until you're fast asleep
Dreaming things I have the right to see
Maybe you are dreaming you're in love with me
The only option left is look and see, inside your mind
Inside your mind
I can show you the photographs
Of you getting on with life
I've had dreams where there's blood on you
All those dreams where you're my wife
Inside your mind
Inside your mind
Inside your mind
Inside your mind

Its Not Living (If Its Not With You)
Danny ran into some complications
He falls asleep during conversations
He's gotta search the street when he's on vacation
The worst thing is that I'm in the same situation
And all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living if it's not with you
And Danny says we're living in a simulation
But he works in a petrol station (selling petrol)
He says it all began with his operation
And I know you think you're sly but you need some imagination
And all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living if it's not with you
All I do is sit and drink without you
If I choose then I lose
Distract my brain from the terrible news
It's not living if it's not with you
I can't stop sweating or control my feet
Got a twenty-stone monkey that I just can't beat
I can stage a situation, but I just can't eat
And there's a feeling, you're replacin' embrace
And it's true that all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living if it's not with you
All I do is sit and drink without you
If I choose then I lose
Distract my brain from the terrible news
It's not living if it's not with you
Oh, I'll try to get a job in a bank, I think
Danny spent the time tryna pack in the drinks for me
I feel sick and I know that I'll lose, but
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not, it's not
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not, it's not
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
He falls asleep during conversations
He's gotta search the street when he's on vacation
The worst thing is that I'm in the same situation
And all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living if it's not with you
And Danny says we're living in a simulation
But he works in a petrol station (selling petrol)
He says it all began with his operation
And I know you think you're sly but you need some imagination

If I choose then I lose
Distract my brain from the terrible news
It's not living if it's not with you
I can't stop sweating or control my feet
Got a twenty-stone monkey that I just can't beat
I can stage a situation, but I just can't eat
And there's a feeling, you're replacin' embrace
And it's true that all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living if it's not with you
All I do is sit and drink without you
If I choose then I lose
Distract my brain from the terrible news
It's not living if it's not with you
Oh, I'll try to get a job in a bank, I think
Danny spent the time tryna pack in the drinks for me
I feel sick and I know that I'll lose, but
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not, it's not
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not, it's not
It's not living if it's not with you
It's not living if it's not with you

Surrounded By Heads and Bodies
And Angela
She wears it like a dress
Ooh
Post-traumatic mess
And don't sleep, it hurts to be awake
The things they make her take
Angela, Angela
Oh, we don't speak
She stayed an extra week
Ooh
I see her in my sleep
Angela
Oh, Angela
(Angela)
She wears it like a dress
Ooh
Post-traumatic mess
And don't sleep, it hurts to be awake
The things they make her take
Angela, Angela
Oh, we don't speak
She stayed an extra week
Ooh
I see her in my sleep
Angela
Oh, Angela
(Angela)

Mine
There comes a time in a young man's life
He should settle down and find himself a wife
But I'm just fine 'cause I know that you're mine
I fight crime online sometimes
And write rhymes I hide behind
And I switch her wine
Both crying, I'm fine
If you are fine
Looking back on 2009
When people said that it was rainin' all the time
I see sunshine 'cause I know that you're mine
And you say that I'm wasting your time
And I smile and tell you things'll be fine
For some reason I just can't say, "I do"
There comes a time in a young man's life
He should settle down and find himself a wife
But I'm just fine 'cause I know you are mine
He should settle down and find himself a wife
But I'm just fine 'cause I know that you're mine
I fight crime online sometimes
And write rhymes I hide behind
And I switch her wine
Both crying, I'm fine
If you are fine
Looking back on 2009
When people said that it was rainin' all the time
I see sunshine 'cause I know that you're mine
And you say that I'm wasting your time
And I smile and tell you things'll be fine
For some reason I just can't say, "I do"
There comes a time in a young man's life
He should settle down and find himself a wife
But I'm just fine 'cause I know you are mine

I Couldnt Be More In Love
At the best of times, I'm lonely in my mind
But I can find something to show you
If you have got the time
Why would I rely on the things that I did right?
She said, "I gave you four years of my life"
So what about these feelings I've got?
We got it wrong
And you said you had enough
What about these feelings I've got?
I couldn't be more in love
I could've been a great line, I could've been a sign
Overstayed my time, say what's on your mind
Maybe I'll rely on all the things that I did right
Because I'd give you all the years of my life
So, what about these feelings I've got?
We got it wrong and you said you had enough
But what about these feelings I've got?
I couldn't be more in love
What about these feelings I've got?
We got it wrong and you said you had enough
But what about these feelings I've got?
I couldn't be more in love
But I can find something to show you
If you have got the time
Why would I rely on the things that I did right?
She said, "I gave you four years of my life"
So what about these feelings I've got?
We got it wrong
And you said you had enough
What about these feelings I've got?
I couldn't be more in love
I could've been a great line, I could've been a sign
Overstayed my time, say what's on your mind
Maybe I'll rely on all the things that I did right
Because I'd give you all the years of my life
So, what about these feelings I've got?
We got it wrong and you said you had enough
But what about these feelings I've got?
I couldn't be more in love
What about these feelings I've got?
We got it wrong and you said you had enough
But what about these feelings I've got?
I couldn't be more in love

I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)
I bet you thought your life would change
But you're sat on a train again
Your memories are sceneries
For things you said but never really meant
You build it to a high to say goodbye
Because you're not the same as them
But your death, it won't happen to you
It happens to your family and your friends
I pretend
And I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Sometimes
You win, you lose, you sing the blues
There's no point in buying concrete shoes
I refuse
And I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Oh, am I me through geography?
A face collapsed through entropy
I can hardly speak
And when I try, it's nothing but a squeak
On the video
Living room for small
If you can't survive, just try
And I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Always wanna die (always wanna die)
Always wanna die
And I always wanna die (always wanna die)
Always wanna die
Sometimes (sometimes)
Sometimes (sometimes)
I sometimes
Always wanna die (always wanna die)
Always wanna die (always wanna)
Sometimes
But you're sat on a train again
Your memories are sceneries
For things you said but never really meant
You build it to a high to say goodbye
Because you're not the same as them
But your death, it won't happen to you
It happens to your family and your friends
I pretend
And I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Sometimes
You win, you lose, you sing the blues
There's no point in buying concrete shoes
I refuse
And I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Oh, am I me through geography?
A face collapsed through entropy
I can hardly speak
And when I try, it's nothing but a squeak
On the video
Living room for small
If you can't survive, just try
And I always wanna die
Sometimes
I always wanna die
Always wanna die (always wanna die)
Always wanna die
And I always wanna die (always wanna die)
Always wanna die
Sometimes (sometimes)
Sometimes (sometimes)
I sometimes
Always wanna die (always wanna die)
Always wanna die (always wanna)
Sometimes

A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships is the third studio album by English band the 1975. It was released on 30 November 2018 by Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. Initially titled Music for Cars, the album was intended as the follow-up to I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It (2016).
The term later denoted an era encompassing both their third album and Notes on a Conditional Form, released in 2020. The band halted recording of the first part after lead singer Matty Healy left for a drug rehabilitation clinic in Barbados, seeking treatment for his heroin addiction. Following the singer's return, the band spent several months completing the album in Northamptonshire and Los Angeles.
A maximalist experimental album, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships combines rock and pop music with ambient interludes. Eschewing the 1980s-influenced sound of its predecessor, the album embraces a desolate soundscape informed by electronica. Noted for its incorporation of various genres, the record heavily draws from jazz, R&B, electropop, indie rock and Britpop, among others.
The songs are characterised by their electronic beats, gospel choirs, neo-soul horns and downtempo rhythms. Guest contributions are featured from the London Community Gospel Choir, No Rome, the Japanese House and Roy Hargrove.
Exploring the role of digital communication and the internet in contemporary life, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships is a concept album connected by several overarching threads.
The album serves as a cautionary political statement, questioning the implications of society's relationship with technology and its impact on millennials. It marks a shift in Healy's portrayal of heroin addiction, embracing sincerity and honesty to speak on the desolation it causes. Eschewing metaphors and ambiguity, the album utilises black humour, simple lyrics and straightforward storytelling, covering dark topics such as nihilism, suicide, depression, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, cynicism and death, among others.
The album received widespread acclaim from contemporary music critics, who praised the production quality and portrayal of modern life, with some critics calling it a millennial version of Radiohead's OK Computer. It was preceded by the singles "Give Yourself a Try", "Love It If We Made It", "TooTimeTooTimeTooTime", "Sincerity Is Scary" and "It's Not Living (If It's Not with You)".
In addition to appearing on numerous publications' year-end and decade-end lists, it won the British Album of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards. The album became the 1975's third consecutive number one on the UK Albums Chart, and was later certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
It also peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart and attained top-ten positions in several countries, including on Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. To further promote the album, the band embarked on their Music for Cars Tour.
