(Frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
Go outside?
Seems unlikely
I'm sorry that I missed your call
I watched it ring
I've always got a (frail state of mind)
Oh boy don't cry
I'm sorry, but I
I always get this way sometimes
Oh, I'll just leave
I'll save you time
I'm sorry 'bout my (frail state)
(Frail state of mind)
Stay at mine, you might just like it
Might stop you being miserable
Nah, I'm alright, nah trust I'm fine
Just dealing with a (frail state of mind)
Oh, don't be shy
I'm sorry, but I
I always get this way sometimes
You lot just leave
I'll stay behind
I'm sorry 'bout my (frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
Oh, what's the vibe?
I wouldn't know, I'm normally in bed at this time
You guys, go do your thing
And I'll just leave at nine
Don't wanna bore you with my (frail state of mind)
Oh winner winner, that's your biggest lie
I'm sure that you're fine
I haven't told a lie in quite some time
You know we'll leave, if you keep lying
Don't lie behind your (frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)
(Frail state of mind)

The lyrics of The 1975's Frail State of Mind explores the feeling of anxiety and how it affects the singer's social interactions. The singer seems to feel uncertain about leaving the house, as it is mentioned in the first verse. The line "I'm sorry that I missed your call, I watched it ring" highlights the avoidance behavior that people with anxiety tend to experience, prioritizing their comfort over social interactions. The singer apologizes for his "frail state of mind," acknowledging the stigma that comes with discussing mental health struggles.
The chorus repeats the phrase "frail state of mind," reinforcing the idea that the anxiety and uncertainty the singer feels are a consistent part of his life. The second verse touches on the idea of seeking company as a way to mask the negative emotions that come with anxiety, yet the singer acknowledges that this may not always be helpful.
The bridge of the song explores the belief that the anxiety is somehow unworthy or boring to others, and the fear of being judged for how the singer feels. The song ends on a repeated "frail state of mind," suggesting that the feeling of uncertainty and anxiety that the singer experiences is likely to be persistent.
