You
1975's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you're a liar, at least all of your friends are
And so am I, just typically drowned in my car
It's my party and I'll cry to the end
You must try harder than kissing all of my friends, you

Yeah it takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
You're alive, at least as far as I can tell you are
And so am I, you beat me down and then we're back to my car
And it's so ironic how it's only been a year
And it's not my fault that I fucked everybody here

Yeah it takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you

And I say
Do you wanna dance, do you wanna dance, do you wanna dance
In the bar at the back of the hall?
And I say
Do you wanna dance, do you wanna dance, do you wanna dance
Dance in the back of the hall?

Yeah it takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you




It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "You" by The 1975 are a commentary on toxic relationships and the way they can deteriorate over time. The singer is calling out their partner for being a liar and commenting on the fact that they're both struggling in their own ways. The line "It's my party and I'll cry to the end" is an important one, as it represents the singer's sense of ownership over their own emotions and the fact that they're not going to apologize for feeling upset. The line "And it's not my fault that I fucked everybody here" is a harsh one, but it's likely a response to the way the partner has treated the singer in the past. The final lines, where the singer asks if their partner wants to dance, is a kind of plea for some kind of connection or intimacy, despite the situation.


There's a sense of sadness and resignation to the song, which is reflected in the slow, dreamy melody. The repetitive nature of the chorus ("Yeah it takes a bit more...") emphasizes the idea that both parties are struggling to make things work. Overall, "You" is a deep and thoughtful exploration of a complicated relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

And you're a liar, at least all of your friends are
You have a reputation for being dishonest, and the people you associate with also have that same reputation.


And so am I, just typically drowned in my car
I too am a liar, and I often find myself feeling overwhelmed and stuck in difficult situations.


It's my party and I'll cry to the end
This is my celebration, and I can express my emotions openly and completely if I need to.


You must try harder than kissing all of my friends, you
You need to put in more effort than just trying to get with my friends, in order to win my affection or attention.


Yeah it takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
It requires a higher level of effort and dedication than you have shown, in order to impress or win over this person.


You're alive, at least as far as I can tell you are
As far as I can see, you are still alive and present in my life.


And so am I, you beat me down and then we're back to my car
I too am still alive, even though you have hurt me and put me in difficult situations in the past.


And it's so ironic how it's only been a year
It is strange and unexpected that all of these events and emotions have taken place within the span of a single year.


And it's not my fault that I fucked everybody here
I am not solely responsible for my sexual encounters with the people in this environment.


Do you wanna dance, do you wanna dance, do you wanna dance
I am asking if you want to join me in this activity, whether it is symbolic or literal.


In the bar at the back of the hall?
This place is the location where I am extending this invitation.


Yeah it takes a bit more, yeah it takes a bit more than you
Once again, I am emphasizing that it requires a greater level of effort and dedication than you have shown, in order to impress or win over this person.

I'm listening to this with my headphones in the cold at the top of a building at 5am and it has never sounded so beautiful and I think this is what their songs were made for
