Matt calling Alex “Al” and him calling Matt “Matthew” is unreasonably funny

[naryiaana_fedorova]

*creates a masterpiece*: “I guess it’s alright”

[decgar]

"What came first the chicken or the dickhead?" is the greatest lyric in human history and no one will ever change my mind

[notsocoolguy]

"And her lips are like the galaxy's edge and her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place" ah poetic af

[gthegunslinger]

This humble bastard, literally has written some f the most lyrically impressives songs ive ever heard

[maceybeddall]

Why does he sound like he's never listened to an Arctic monkeys song

[britneysphere]

Mine's 'what do you mean you've never seen blade runner'

[HarleyMM]

"When she needs to shelter from reality, she takes a dip in my daydreams."

Easily my favourite AM lyric. Although, their discography is full of great lyrics.

"I smelled your scent on the seatbelt, and kept my shortcuts to myself" lol 💯

[alexdonnewell]

"Love is a laser quest" is very underrated in my eyes. Some great lines e.g. "I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes" which sums up my life :)

[kanishkaralasi]

"And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there?
Or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered?"

- Love is a laserquest

[TheRABIDdude]

hell yeah so glad he said Arabella, I've always been in awe at the poetry of that song! The words twist and dance so cleverly to get rhyme emotion fantasy and romance across all at once, it's so captivating. Every time I listen to it I'm transported through time to the stat of mind I had as a teenager.

Alex: "idk does anyone even wanne know?" Me: " DO I WANNA KNOWWWW"

[Barushia]

I love the second verse of crying lightning. Its like its own short story from like the 1800’s. Also ”smelled your sent on the seatbelt and kept my shortcuts to myself” from cornerstone is another great lyric. Hell most of his lyrics are pure poetry in my opinion.

[harleyquinn]

He's so bloody charming and respectable!😍😍

[TheChaserTV]

Piledriver Waltz has to be up there, sad words with beautiful music. Fuck he does that well

[Sunlightuser]

"That's your job matthew that's why I leave it to you"
😭

[youknowimcute]

He is damn handsome! I love his swag. The way he does his hair and I love his confidence. A beautiful musician! One hell of an exceptional talent!

“The horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes.”
And the ending of Cornerstone? My jaw dropped 😮. Love this band ❤
