      Acelya Lancaster It would be ironic if this was a song the band wrote themselves to satirize modern pop music.
      But this song (and video) were decided upon by their record label to sell completely unironically to consumers who they knew would eat it up.

      @philipbeadle6446 Před 4 lety +55

      @@VideoGuy232 Thing is, this song isn't just some "stupid" pop song. It critiques both the way young, idealistic romantic people view relationships versus the way older, more cynical people do. At the same time, the story of the relationship in the song parallels the lead singer's drug addiction. The song is deep on multiple levels, but it also has a catchy melody and very danceable, uptempo rhythm. So yeah, there is some irony there. And the band is comfortable joking about that because they dont take themselves too seriously.
      Also, their names are on the songwriting credits so there isn't any reason to believe they didn't write the song themselves.
      I hope that helps you see this song in a different light.

      @@philipbeadle6446 Have to agree with Video Guy. Acknowledging something is stupid, and then still doing it but saying "yeah, we know" is not irony. It's just self-awareness. They are not the same thing. No matter what the song is about, it is Pop music. Semi-charmed Life is about meth, but no one would argue, that it is not a pop-song. At no point in this video are they doing any hyperbole to show that it is meant to be ironic. This isn't like One Direction saying "we are not a pop band" and then wearing matching outfits and singing to 11 year old girls while playing with puppies. That would be ironic. They are just making a pop-video with hot chicks and saying "well, we don't really want this" but then doing it anyway. It's dumb. The quality of the song is subjective and everyone likes different stuff, so that has nothing to do with it, but it is definitely pop and definitely not ironic.

    Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    Bite your face to spite your nose
    Seventeen and a half years old
    Worrying about my brother finding out
    Where's the fun in doing what you're told?
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I said "No!"
    "Oh, give it a rest, I could persuade you
    I'm not your typical, stoned eighteen year old
    Give me a night, I'll make you"
    "I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
    But, girl, I'm not your saviour"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now
    [Chorus]
    'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    [Verse 2]
    A pair of frozen hands to hold
    Oh, she's so southern so she feels the cold
    One moment I was tearing off your blouse
    Now you're living in my house
    What happened to just messing around?
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I said "Yo, I think you better go, I can't take you"
    "You just sit and get stoned with thirty-year-olds and you think you've made it"
    "Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now
    [Chorus]
    'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    [Bridge]
    I told her from the start
    Destined to be hard
    I told her from the start
    I'll break your heart
    Destined to be hard
    Break your heart
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I said "Yo, I think you better go, I can't take you
    I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
    But, girl, I'm not your saviour"

    Just to make it clear, Matty said that the video was supposed to be a mockery of pop videos in general. When some people heard girls for the first time it was heavily criticized as people started accusing The 1975 to conforming to what music society listened to and how the label was forcing them to change the way they played music, so they made the video as 'pop' as it could be, and at the beginning the colours flicker and Matty says 'we're not a pop band' to mimic what some people were saying.

    Lyrics
    Bite your face to spite your nose
    17-and-a-half years old
    Worrying about my brother finding out
    What's the fun in doing what you're told?
    I said, "No!"
    "Oh, give it a rest, I could persuade you."
    "I'm not your typical, stoned 18-year-old
    Give me a night I'll make you."
    "I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, but, girl, I'm not your savior."
    Wrestle to the ground
    God, help me now because
    They're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    A pair of frozen hands to hold,
    Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold,
    One moment I was tearing off your blouse,
    Now you're living in my house.
    What happened to just messing around?
    I said, "Yo, I think you better go; I can't take you."
    "You just sit and get stoned with 30-year-olds and you think you've made it."
    "Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God, help me now because
    They're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    I told her from the start
    Destined to be hard
    I told her from the start
    I'll break your heart
    Destined to be hard
    I'll break your heart
    I said, "Yo, I think you better go; I can't take you."
    "I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, but, girl, I'm not your savior."

    3) Age doesn't really matter in music. If it sounds good and someone likes it, it doesn't matter how old they are.
    4) Everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. Just enjoy the music if you do, and move on if you don't.

    Lyrics
    Bite your face to spite your nose
    17 and a half years old
    Worrying about my brother finding out
    Where's the fun in doing what you're told?
    I said "No!"
    "Oh, give it a rest, I could persuade you
    I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old
    Give me a night, I'll make you"
    "I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
    But, girl, I'm not your saviour"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now
    'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    A pair of frozen hands to hold
    Oh, she's so southern so she feels the cold
    One moment I was tearing off your blouse
    Now you're living in my house
    What happened to just messing around?
    I said "Yo, I think you better go, I can't take you"
    "You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it"
    "Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now
    'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    I told her from the start
    Destined to be hard
    I told her from the start
    I'll break your heart
    Destined to be hard
    Break your heart
    I said "Yo, I think you better go, I can't take you
    I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
    But, girl, I'm not your saviour"
    "Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now
    'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    'Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls
    'Cause they're just girls
