Matty Healy Drops a Taylor Swift Lyric Bomb at Glastonbury—Did You Catch the Sneaky Shade or Nah?

Added on June 30, 2025 inMusic News Cards

Ever notice how some promises age like fine wine — and others, well, like milk left out past its expiration date? Today’s celestial lineup has me thinking about that bittersweet moment when someone says, “I’ll grow up and find you,” only to show up fashionably late to their own coming-of-age party. Cue the bittersweet chords of a song mourning the lost potential of a 25-year-old matinee idol, caught in the “Lost Boys chapter” of life — still dancing on the edge between fantasy and reality. It’s like Mercury decided to throw a curveball into the timeline of maturity, leaving us all wondering: when does the glow of youthful hope finally dim to reveal the truths learned too late? Hold on tight, because we’re diving headfirst into the echoes of waiting lamps, masquerading men, and those sticky sweet verses that tell a story we’ve all kind of lived. LEARN MORE.

“You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me,” she repeats in the chorus, later saying that the other person was 25 years old when they first met — which is how old Matty was in 2014.

“I won’t confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn / As the men masqueraded, I hoped you’d return / With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you’d learned / Cause love’s never lost when perspective is earned,” she sings. “And you said you’d come and get me, but you were 25 / And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired / Lost to the Lost Boys chapter of your life.”
