All he wants to know is what he can to compel himself to believe.
A choral group vocalizes right behind him, hammering home his words and pain, as he confronts God head on.
MARY MARY GET UP LYRICS GENIUS PATCH
We’ve seen it in the fan-favorite “Antichrist,” and even on “Nana,” where he unhesitatingly says, “I know that God doesn’t exist.” Right here, though, he’s in his most vulnerable and volatile state, asking for a sign that he’s going to come out of this rough patch unscathed, but he’s finding nothing. Matty Healy has been struggling with religion ever since he and the rest of The 1975 emerged onto the music scene. Bre Offenberger, “I mean, if it was You that made my body, You probably shouldn’t have made me atheist.” - “If I Believe You” by The 1975 Just two tracks earlier on “Dead for Days,” he admits, “I can’t believe she stayed as long as she did.” By the end of this track, he’s asking her for one last night together before they say goodbye forever, and then Kinsella can channel his pain the one way he knows how: into song. They’ve tried couples counseling, but he’s discovered every time they thought something was solved, it would always have another unearthed layer the following week, and there’s never any progress. The only constant in Kinsella’s life right now is the gloomy guitar accenting his aching words as he watches his marriage fall apart. Nine albums later, on The Avalanche, he has somehow reached his most poignant form, getting better and simultaneously sadder with time. The world keeps going in circles - at least for Mike Kinsella, who hasn’t found a sliver of splendor since at least 2001, when Owen’s self-titled debut made it to shelves. “I’m in therapy / She’s in therapy / Turns out all the answers are just questions for next week’s sessions.” - “The Contours” by Owen
