Robbers Lyrics

She had a face straight out a magazine
God only knows but you'll never leave her
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
And when she gets his gun he's beggin', "Babe, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay"

I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more lie
Will I know you?

Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
And if you never eat, you'll never grow
You got a pretty kind of dirty face
When she's leaving your home, she's begging you to stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay

I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more line
There'll be a riot, 'cause I know you

Well, now that you've got your gun
It's much harder now the police have come
And I'll shoot him if it's what you ask
But if you'd just take off your mask
You'd find out everything's gone wrong

Now everybody's dead
And they're driving past my old school
And he's got his gun, and he's got his suit on
She says, "Babe, you look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool"
('Cause I know you)

What is the Meaning of Robbers?

This evocative track by The 1975 masterfully encapsulates themes of love, desperation, and the spiraling consequences of illicit actions. The narrative unfolds around a couple deeply entrenched in a life of crime, symbolized by imagery such as masks and guns. Their emotional dependency is profound as the lyrics reveal a plea for persistence and loyalty amidst chaos and moral decline. The refrain "you look so cool" juxtaposes the glamorization of rebellious defiance with the stark reality of violence and loss. Ultimately, the song scrutinizes how love can blind individuals to the destructive paths they tread, culminating in a tragic awareness that the façade of control and coolness is unsustainable. Through its poignant lyrics, the song delves into the existential realization that beneath the masks lies a grim truth, where everything has, indeed, gone wrong.
