1975, The - If I Believe You Lyrics






I've got a God-shaped hole, that's infected
And I'm petrified of being alone
It's pathetic, I know

And I toss and I turn in my bed
It's just like I lost my head (lost my head)

And if I believe you,
Would that make it stop if I told you I need you?
Is that what you want?
And I'm broken and bleeding, and begging for help.
And I'm asking you, Jesus: show yourself.

I thought I'd met you once or twice,
But that was just because the dabs were nice
And opening up my mind
Showing me consciousness is primary in the universe
And I had a revelation

I'll be your child if you insist
I mean, if it was you that made my body
You probably shouldn't have made me atheist

I'm a lesbian kiss
I'm an evangelist
And "If you don't wanna go to hell then, Miss,
You better start selling this."

And if I believe you,
Would that make it stop if I told you I need you?
Is that what you want?
And I'm broken and bleeding, and begging for help.
And I'm asking you, Jesus: show yourself.

If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
Then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
Yeah, yeah

1975, The If I Believe You Comments
  1. a.... ....

    12 year old me questioning religion with this song

  2. L.... ....

    I don't know why I felt compelled to comment on here. This song came up in my shuffle mode on Spotify this week and I thought I'd share this... If you examine the lyrics
    ((Showing me consciousness is primary in the universe)) ... And I had a revelation. The 1975 are literally telling you there is no external God and your sexuality and race isn't something we should judge or fight about, amongst other things. The only sin in life is not fulfilling your desires and your goals in life (Neville Goddard) What we've been taught about sin is also a huge lie.


    Mainstream religion is a lie. Please look up teachers such as Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy, they teach the real meanings of what God is and how everything that has been taught to us about the bible is also a lie. One of Neville Goddards famous quotes is God is your imagination ( God is higher consciousness) Neville gives you exercises to prove it. You may think my comment is whack but give it a try ( no pun intended).


    If anyone has seen the show The Good Place notice that this show examines the philosophy of heaven and hell. And there ends up being no hell in the end. That is because there is no hell. The writers got these theories from metaphysics. Heaven and hell are states of the mind, not places.

    In the song Give Yourself A Try Matty also states " You're getting spiritually enlightened at 29". After hearing that lyric I was sure that the 1975 came to realise that there is no external God and they have portrayed this in both of these songs. I'm pretty sure matty would know about the teachers that I have mentioned. Please research on what I'm talking about its completely changed my life. And if this doesn't resonate with you or you think that this is nuts, that's okay you can just read on this stuff out of interest - From a 25-year-old 1975 Fan

  7. n.... ....

    THIS is why i love the1975. i feel like their music just GETS me on a level than most music just can't. everything from the lyrics to the feeling you get when you listen to the music just makes it feel "spiritual" to me. of course i love their dancy songs for good times but i also cry to this music because it brings up all the feelings and emotions i have. to me the1975 is like medicine i love them so much. when they talk about their music you can tell they put genius and struggle together and skdjfhlkhgalurhef i can't describe how much i love these guys and their musicccc

  8. M.... L....

    It's a little Somebody to love.

  9. C.... A....

    This is the song that really got me into The 1975. I actually know them, but I don't really like their music, though I know The Sound and Somebody Else. I heard this on a The 1975 playlist when I put it on shuffle. Really got me hooked, and felt like my soul was touched. I'm actually considering having "If I'm lost, then how can I find myself?" tattooed on me when I turn 18.

  10. t.... ....

    Im a Lesbian kiss🏳️‍🌈💞

  11. A.... Z....

    I am happy for such a beautiful song ❤️

  12. T.... C....

    anyone else that is listening to it on repeat? I am pretty obsessed with it tbh. It is just such an amazing song.

  13. M.... F....

    This is one of the best songs in the world

  14. I.... G....

    Los amo son los mejores!!!

  15. i.... g....

    So chill and beautiful 👌

  16. k.... ....

    i'm done

  17. h.... ....

    absolutely beautiful.

  18. J.... P....

    oh my your sounds are amazing

  19. M.... E....

    why "lesbian kiss, I'm an evangelist"? i wanna understand this part.

    M.... E....

    he says 'im a lesbian kiss, im an evangelist'. an evangelist is someone who tries to convert people to a faith and a lesbian kiss is usually used in protest against homophobia or extreme religious beliefs, so saying he is both of these things is most likely mattys way of expressing his conflicting opinions in religion at the time of this song. he did mention at some point around this time that while making this album he kindof reconsidered faith and became less atheist and more agnostic. sorry for the essay, just wanted to answer what i could🤣

    M.... E....

    Well, it's a contradiction. Because a lesbian kiss is considered a sin. However, an evangelist is someone who preaches the words of Jesus

    M.... E....

    @Kai Tarling that was extremely well put, and thought out. Just wanna say I enjoyed reading that 👍

    M.... E....

    @Poliana P   well maybe not that condradictory : jesus never told anybody that homosexuality was a sin, and things against homisexuals never were written in the Bible, its all about (mis) interpretation
    that may be another point suggested by this line

  20. B.... H....

    Why have I never heard this song till last night ? now I’m obsessed

  21. �.... �....

    I’m so lucky to live in a world where I can listen to the 1975

  28. M.... H....

    I have a love hate relationship with god, i feel like he doesnt mean bad but life has been so hard, from the start, my family, our finances, health, relationships all hava been shit, we've had our good times and i thank god for that, but me and my mom cant seem to find stability, that woman has gond thru a lot and all i want is to be a good son and give her back all that she has worked for, life is so hard and it breaks me to pieces and everytime i find myself asking god why, i know i have been a bad person but if he could at least be good to her and do whatever he wants with me.
    I dont want fame or wealth or cars or anything fancy, i just want to live a stable healthy life with my momma whatever she has left on this earth, not worrying if we will be able to pay rent or eath food next month.

    I’ve got a God shaped hole
    That’s infected
    And I’m petrified of being alone now
    It's pathetic, I know

    And I tossed and I turn in my bed
    It's just like I lost my head (lost my head)

    And if I believe you
    Will that make it stop?
    If I told you I need you
    Is that what you want?
    And I'm broken and bleeding
    And begging for help
    And I'm asking you Jesus, show yourself

    I thought I’d met you once or twice
    But that was just because the dabs were nice and opening up my mind
    Showing me consciousness is primary in the universe
    And I had a revelation
    I'll be your child if you insist
    I mean if it was you that made my body
    You probably shouldn't have made me atheist
    But, oh, I'm a lesbian kiss
    I'm an evangelist
    And if you don't want to go to hell and miss, you better start selling this

    Yeah
    And if I believe you
    Will that make it stop?
    If I told you I need you
    Is that what you want?
    And I'm broken and bleeding
    And begging for help
    And I'm asking you Jesus, show yourself

    If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
    If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
    If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
    If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
    If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
    If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
    Then how can I find myself?
    If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
    Yeah, yeah
