He is deciding about whether or not to tell the girl how he feels and what would happen if he doesn’t. He is way too shy so he tries to let her go.

“Somebody Else” by The 1975 explores the narrative of an individual who tries to understand their contradictory feelings towards an ex who is now with someone new. The guy might not want to be with somebody anymore (maybe because they did him wrong or something like that), but the thought of them being with someone else just kills him in the inside.

According to guitarist Bettencourt, “More Than Words” is saying how the phrase “I love you” is overused to the point it no longer means anything. Yet, people still use it and think it will fix things or people think they have shown their love for someone by simply saying that. The main message of the song is that we could prove our love is real through our actions instead of just saying it. That way, our loved one wouldn’t ask if we love them cause they’d already know.
