But this was also written long before ILIWYS era so we all know that during that last stretch of touring Matty was just very unhealthy and unhappy and tired. I’m sure you know by now that Matty loves weed. I hope you make it to the day you’re 28 years old.” “You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope.

Denise has had depression and she’s also on a soap so that’s where those lines come from. This is obviously about Louis (Matty’s younger brother) who’s lowkey a shithead but I love him so much and Matty’s mum (aka my mum that I WORSHIP) Denise. You said your mother only smiled on her TV show.” “Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so. So the first song, and most damning one, is Colors. Generally speaking, Halsey has said in interviews that Matty was a huge influence on her writing and even helped write some of her songs. Halsey has written three songs that I am 100% certain are about Matty, and there’s two others that I think MIGHT be about him but I’m not certain. I’m not sure when it started or when it ended but I’m thinking it ended around 2014 based on when they stopped appearing in pictures together. Halsey and Matty were friends with benefits (NOT dating… just friends that hooked up a lot) for ? a period of time. But also a lot of this stuff, like the lyric analysis, just came from my own brain and the fact that I’ve seen way too many interviews of the 1975.

Okay, so this is going to be long so I’m going to put it under a read more BUT I just want to say that I don’t have sources for most of this because it’s from Halsey’s old tumblr that she deleted and other stuff (screenshots, pictures, etc.) I’ve had saved on my computer for agessss so I don’t remember where I originally got them.
