harry’s house lyrics that stood out to me: a masterpost
here’s a collection of lyrics from harry’s house that stick out to me or that I deem significant and a bit of my reasoning. bear in mind this all just my opinion and to put them all in one place. i’ve found that looking at individual lyrics rather than a “larry song” as a whole is much more beneficial and this album does exactly that
music for a sushi restaurant:
“green eyes, fried rice I could cook an egg on you. late night, game time coffee on the stove. you’re sweet ice cream, but you could use a flake or two. blue bubblegum twisted ‘round your tongue”
→ interesting to me because the collection of lyrics as a whole match the homey, domestic feel of this album but harry “just so happened” to use the colors blue and green within one chunk near each other. nothing humongous but just interesting that those are always his go-to colors for everything.
“it’s cause I love you babe, in every kind of way, just a little taste, you know I love you babe”
→ obviously stands out because the lyrics match the kill my mind lyrics “just a little taste, babe.” word for word
“It’s only been a couple of days and I miss you.”
“If you’re feeling down I just wanna make you happier baby. wish I was around I just wanna make you happier baby”
“we been doing all this late night talking about anything we want until the morning. now you’re in my life, I can’t get you off my mind.”
“I’ve never been a fan of change, but I’d follow you to any place. If it’s hollywood or bishop gate, I’m coming too.”
→ this song as a whole stands out to me because of the sense of being apart and missing each other, as well as the themes of being someone else’s comfort/uplifting them which was very present in h&l’s songwriting throughout 1D and now. the concept of sharing a bed as well, i.e. “we’ve been doing all this late night talking.”
“yesterday it finally came, a sunny afternoon, I was on my way to buy some flowers for you. thought that we could hide away in the corner of the heath, there’s never been someone who’s so perfect for me.”
→ the concept of hiding away in a romantic context really stuck out to me given h&l’s rough situation. and the last line draws parallels to their many lyrics regarding a long term relationship and is simply just cute so i had to note it :’)
“sitting in the garden, i’m a couple glasses in. I was tryna count up all the places we’ve been. you’re always there, so don’t overthink”
→ pretty self explanatory. lots of world traveling, i.e. counting all the places they’ve been
“I’m on the roof, you’re in your airplane seat. I was nose-bleedin, looking for life out there. reading your horoscope, you were just doing cocaine in my kitchen, you never listen, I hope you’re missing me by now.”
→ stuck out to me because it seems to detail one of them traveling while the other is home, and the missing me lyric seems interesting in the same context (i.e. you’re traveling right now, I hope you miss me) but it could be unrelated
“If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you. you’d be the spoon, dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you.”
→ if i could fly parallels!! also just simply mushy and cute
“we’re on bicycles, saying there’s life out there. you’ve got the antidote, I’ll take one to go, go please”
→ referencing love as a painkiller is a huge trend in h&l’s songwriting about each other; it was featured in my larry lyric parallels youtube video so i was pleasantly surprised to see him use this lyric again.
“stay green a little while, you bring blue lights to dreams.”
→ self explanatory. they pain me sometimes. i genuinely can’t believe he did this, it’s like my 2022 princess park haha
“it’s you, and i’m not getting over it. darling is it cool if i’m stubborn when it comes to this?”
→ long term relationship parallels!
okay, this whole song is a standout on this album because of this (which is awfully awfully wholesome) and also this post that i have a screenshot of, but couldn’t find the original poster. if you know please let me know:
“we share the last line, then we drink the wall ‘till we wanna talk.”
→ jumped out to me a bit just because of h&ls constant communication parallels. another one from my youtube video on their songwriting
“we don’t really like what’s on the news, but it’s on all the time.”
→ another pretty self explanatory one. in relation negative media stories, stunts, etc.
“i take you with me every time i go away, in a hotel using someone else’s name.”
→ this was another lyric i couldn’t believe was on the album. the first line either referencing traveling with louis’ clothing, the blue bandana, or something like that OR the first line going directly with the second referencing louis secretly traveling with him. either way it’s loud
“it’s unfortunate, just coordinates.”
→ harry released coordinates a while ago for harry’s house pop up shops that were oh so conveniently related to louis. then in a song called love of my life, he references coordinates? just really jumped out to me
and those are pretty much my thoughts! overall this feels exactly like the cheesy, domestic, falling-in-love-all-over-again quarantine album everyone imagined him writing back before it all began. i’m pleased!
