“Inside Your Mind” is a pop-rock ballad, in which Matty addresses an old flame retrospectively. Matty toys with the Gone Girl-inspired notion of wanting to smash a partner’s head open out of desperation to reveal their inner thoughts and feelings.
The song’s piano-driven melody is supported by a subtle rhythm section, strings, and an uplifting over-driven guitar.
Inside Your Mind
The 1975 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

on Chocolate
Hey now, call it a spliff because I know that you will
Oh you bite your friends like chocolate
You said we go where nobody know
We got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
マリファナを頼むのは、君がそれを欲しがるからさ
君は友人をチョコレートみたいに噛むんだ
誰も知らないところへ行こうって言って
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Now run run away from the boys in the blue
Oh my car smells like chocolate
And now I think about what you do
I think about what they say
I think about how to think
Pause it play, pause it play, pause it
今は逃げるんだ、あの青い制服の男たちから
チョコレートの香りがする俺の車で
今は君のすることを考えて
奴らの吐く言葉を考えて
どうやって考えるべきかを考えて
ちょっと待って、いったん止めて考えよう
Oh we go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
僕らは誰も知らないところへ行く
ペチコートの下の銃を掴む
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it
If you don't stop smoking it
Thats's what she said
あなたはやめてはだめ
逃げてはだめ
諦めてはダメ
葉っぱをやめないならね
これが彼女の言葉
She said we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Hey now we're building up speed
As we're appoaching the hill
Oh my hair smells like chocolate
Hey now you say you're gonna quit it
But you're never gonna quit it
Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go
Play cool
スピードを上げていく
丘に近づくにつれて
髪はチョコレートの香りがする
君はやめるって言ってるけど
絶対にやめられないよ
さあ、やって
クールにさ
Oh you said
We go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
