[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You've seen so many faces that I never seen before
I left an unrewarding message telling you to come on
Overdramatic, automatically assume I'll stay the same

[Chorus]
There's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
We'll bleed the same way
(Change in pressure)
Oh, my broken veins say

[Verse 2]
Well, I stay tuned and listen to the news
And try to fall asleep at night
Because I'm living in a house with just three walls
So I'm always getting recognised

[Chorus]
There's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
We'll bleed the same way
(Change in pressure)
Oh, my broken veins say

[Bridge]
Change in pressure
Change in pressure
Change in pressure
Change in pressure

[Chorus]
There's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
We'll bleed the same way
(Change in pressure)

[Outro]
Oh, my broken veins say

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
