Lyrics.

Loving Someone. // The 1975.

You should be loving someone.

My heart is telling me the telly isn't telling me anything I need, but it needs to keep selling me.

Besides celebrities lacking in integrity, holding up the status quo instead of showing the kids that they matter,
who are they gonna batter next?

Just keep holding their necks and keep selling them sex.
It's better if we keep them perplexed
It's better if we make them want the opposite sex.

Disenfranchised young criminal minds in a car park beside where your nan resides are not slow, they've just never been shown that you should be,

loving someone.
Yeah, you should be loving someone.

We're all human, we're just like you, man.

We shouldn't have people afloat, if it was safe on the ground, we wouldn't be on a boat.

Charlatan telepathy exploiting insecurity and praying on the purity of grief and its simplicity but I know that maybe I'm too skeptical,

Even Guy Debord needed spectacles.

You see, I'm the Greek economy of cashing intellectual cheques and I'm trying to progress.

But instead of selling sex, I think I should be,

Loving someone.

I am forever in alongside the boys in jumpers on bikes from schools and cars, with autumn leaves, fallen sparse across mid-afternoon.

She blazed about how cultural language is an operating system.
A simple interface rendered feeble and listless
When tested with divinity or a true understanding of the human condition.

I never did understand – the duality of art and reality of living life and treating it as such but with a certain disconnect
To touch that cajoles at the artist with comfort and abandon.

And between the spires and rolling roofs of the white city that orange, English light cast only one, singular shadow,

For you are not beside, but within me.

You should be loving someone.

I had to put this out in honor of pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈💗 My absolute favorite from my boys, The 1975. This song helped me come out a little more and I love that it talks about qu*er people and the fucked up system.

Be a riot, loves.

You should be loving someone.

I hope you're all safe and well. I definitely need to come back and do some more writing because I need it to clear my head ): hope everyone's been okay!!! I mean it. If you'd like to talk, I will give you my socials so we can talk there. I do answer back quicker on my socials.

Other than that, I hope you're all having a great day. Continue to be safe, continue to fight for change, continue being you.

Love you!!!
