Me: Would Zayn top Bieber?

Bianca: *throws fic at my face to shut me the fuck up*

I was ready to be disappointed bc the mv didn’t have the video filter like SGT but the fact that Louis used that aesthetic JUST for promo and then dropped the daytime version of Befour on us along with those shots in the stadium that can be paired with the Beats 1 interview. Thanks from the bottom of my Zouis heart, Louis.

@powerpuffzarryonce: I’m going to send you a trope I hate. I hope you hate it, too. 

me: *hates it*

what is your zarry 1D day high 5 theory

okay so the credit def goes to @powerpuffzarryonce for this one. we were watching this compilation of Zayn talking about transforming into Veronica, and I was poppin’ off about jealous Louis because the look Louis gives Harry at 0:50 when the interviewer asks Zayn if he enjoyed the process and Louis looks at Harry with some kind of death glare as he goes ‘say you’re experimental’ to Zayn. 

there’s always been a Zarrie theory about whether or not Harry and Zayn went at it when Zayn was dressed as Veronica since y’know, the Heronica stuff in the BSE video and #MiamiZarry and the fact that Zayn was constantly staring at Harry when he talked about being Veronica…

anyway, so I was like oh man Louis is totally jealous of Zarry, like he’s so mad Harry’s fucking his man, and Bianca was like ALEX ALEX ALEX THE 1D DAY HIGH FIVE.

so obviously Louis walked in on Zayn and Harry fucking in the full get-up, and there was probably a stretch of time when he was really embarrassed and turned on by the whole thing which that’s why he gets fidgety when they talk about Veronica (at 2:15 in that video, Zayn mentions wearing a skirt and Louis’ body language while Zayn looks at Harry is just mm…) anyway, eventually Zarry got him to join, because the three of them wouldn’t be able to leave something like that alone, and that’s why Louis has that fuckin’ look on his face and why Harry looks at Zayn with that lowkey triumph and the fuckin’ high five.

I got an anon in my ask about from the dining table, and since it’s been months since @clarz​​ wanted me to talk about it, and @citricac1d​​ has been wildly anticipating this– here’s my zarry lyrical analysis where I’m way too serious about my interpretations.

uh warning for discussions of infidelity since this is def my incredibly elaborate headcanon for if zarry were involved at any point between… meeting and present day, and you know z/p…

anyway. to start, I personally sort the pink album like so:

sott gender neutral, uh very… metaphorical, ???

carolina, only angel, kiwi, woman stylistically and thematically similar-ish. hardest hitting songs, gendered, overall more sexual than emotional.

two ghosts gender acknowledgement, about a past love, emotional aw.

sweet creature gender neutral, could be about any kind of relationship: platonic or romantic or familial. feels nostalgic.

mmith, esny, ftdt stylistically and thematically similar. gender neutral, v emotionally charged.

the last category is where I’ma be focusing most of my energy for this analysis since ftdt is the spark here. imo, these three songs can be composed into a sort of short story where mmith is the before, esny is the during, and ftdt is the after.

mmith is a great song to analyze. it’s not about being in a satisfying relationship of any kind. I like the idea of the hallway being a literal metaphor– about hotel hallways, but also about the fact that hallways are transitional, always coming or going but never staying. the song is a little desperate, implying that you’d do anything for this person to acknowledge you in whatever capacity that they’re willing to.

Just let me know I’ll be at the door, at the door Hoping you’ll come around Just let me know I’ll be on the floor, on the floor Maybe we’ll work it out

it’s interesting to apply this a maybe-zayn situation. if the hallway is a metaphor for a relationship, it’s a situation you can’t stay in. if zayn and harry were involved, then it would have coincided with z/p’s engagement. zarry is the relationship that comes and goes, but never stays. the staying relationship is years long, engaged…

the repetition of I gotta get better is a good point to make here if harry’s the ‘side chick’ there’s always this idea that you have to be better, you can’t keep running back, you can’t keep waiting around in this situation that’s neither here nor there.

obviously I know nothing about interpersonal relationships here, but thematically, that idea coincides with the song harry wrote for ariana grande just a little bit of your heart– a song very obviously about being involved with and wanting more from a person who already has someone else.

And nothing’s ever easy / That’s what they say  I know I’m not your only / But I’ll still be a fool Cause I’m a fool for you 

a song that’s lyrically mirrored by zayn’s own song fool for you.

I know, I know given a chance I’d do it again / ‘Cause I can’t help myself ‘Cause I can’t stop myself / I just love being a fool for you

which is pretty much flip side of the story harry seems to be telling, if you pay attention to the lyrics. they’re both about wanting someone you can’t have, but if jalboyh is I can’t have you and ffy is I shouldn’t have you.

mmith ends with the verse

We don’t talk about it / It’s something we don’t do ‘Cause once you go without it / Nothing else will do

which mirrors the lyric in zayn’s I won’t mind

The one thing we said we could never ever Live without, I’m not allowed to talk about it

esny strikes me as a middle ground– towards the end, really, which makes sense with the set up of the album: track 01, track 08, and track 10. a conversation keeps being had, this is the point of exhaustion. it’s about someone leaving, about finding out someone’s leaving. it’s not a surprise, but it hurts. this is the decrescendo. they saw it coming, they didn’t do anything to stop it.

I made a post about how esny sounded a bit angry live, but the album version sounds far sadder and more wistful. I think that could be an important little note if you’re implying any of these songs are about zayn.

then of course, there’s from the dining table. I think the lyrics kind of speak for themselves, but obviously it’s about someone who had emotional importance being gone. it’s about missing that person, it still has that bitter sadness esny instilled but it’s even more depressed.

it’s edging towards that desperation from mmith. esny was resigned, but ftdt is a resurgence of why not me? what am I doing wrong? what can be changed about this situation.

the transition between mmith to ftdt on the the album is nearly seamless– when you get to the end, you end up right back at the beginning. this cycle of desperation and resignation is inescapable.

obviously all of these songs are gender neutral. I did a lyrical analysis of mind of mine at one point last year and some of the more emotionally charged songs are gender neutral it’s you, fool for you, like I would, drunk.

with it’s you, the opening verse implies there’s another person involved, but it doesn’t matter, because ‘you’ are the one. or The One, whichever way you look at it. it implies the relationship is dysfunctional, but that fixation is still there. it’s almost apologetic, but there’s that discontentment throughout. 

which makes it very, very thematically similar to mmith. the contrast between what you want, and what you know is good for you.

Give me some more / Just take the pain away 

it’s not this other person, but it is. you want to be better, but you can’t let them go. 

Am I wrong for wanting us to make it? Tell me your lies / Because I just can’t face it

also great to note that zayn’s video for it’s you has a moment that mirrors harry’s in the video for perfect:

it’s part of the writing process, I guess.

I don’t have much to say about like I would, but I like this lyric parallel between one of the lines and a line in esny:

Been thinkin’ it over, but I’m through /  Almost over, had enough from you

drunk’s interesting to me because it’s like, a summer song and a song about being really into this person, but a sense of hiding 

Run away now / Like we’re supposed to do Take you to the back now / I take a shot for you Wasted every night / Gone for every song

and restraint

Right now I’m emotional I lose control, when I’m with you I hope I haven’t said too much Guess I always push my luck when I’m with you

throughout– which fits thematically with fool for you:

I just can’t resist it / I know sometimes I hide it / But I can’t this time

and it’s def interesting that harry’s music has this overarching theme about lack of communication while zayn’s music has lines like ‘so my silence won’t be mistaken for peace’ (it’s you) and ‘talking ‘bout it’s not my style’ (like I would). 

then, there’s a lyric in lucozade that’s also interesting and can definitely be interpreted in an infidelity/love triangle way

It takes two not three, but I’m here any way

and it goes on to call someone’s perfume an elephant in a room– which I feel… implies Things. 

anyway, that’s kinda my run down. I’m sure there’s even more, but it’s been two hours and I’m drowning in my emotions. the coincidences are astounding. the ability to relate their lyrics is far too easy. basically zarry are… having a conversation. telling the same stories from different perspectives…

zarry is… wow. hm.
