What did Matty Healy say?

The lyrics of Guilty as Sin begin with the lines, ‘Drowning in the Blue Nile / She sent me ‘Downtown Lights’ / I haven’t heard it in a while.’ Matty shared a cover of ’80s band The Blue Nile’s ‘The Downtown Lights’ on his Instagram Stories.

according to graziaThe 1975 frontman shared it with the caption, “If you don’t know this cover, you’re welcome.” This was enough of a clue for Swifties to add that Matty was referring to the line from Guilty As Sin, which could mean the song was about their brief relationship.
