welcome to my h&l parallel thread, alternatively titled: h&l have no chill and are very much still Together
*This list includes lyrics from HS1, Fine Line, Walls, 1D songs written by H/L, songs they’ve given to other artists, and songs they’ve covered. Some of these categories definitely overlap as well, but I tried not to double lyrics too much. I only do if I think it deserves it.
CONVERSATIONS / USING THE SAME BUZZ WORDS
PLACES CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER / HOME:
COMMUNICATION ISSUES (the yellow will make sense in the next tweet)
DISTANCE / MISSING EACH OTHER / FIGHTS:
BEING YOUNG:
LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP / THEY MADE IT:
PLAYING A PART / THE CLOSET (AND BEARDS):
DOMESTICITY / THE KITCHEN:
MENTIONING LIGHT:
OTHER REFERENCES TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP OR EACH OTHER:
(This is the last of lyric parallels. The next tweets are other cOiNcIdEnCeS surrounding their music.)

HIDDEN VOCALS IN SONGS:

INTERESTING CHOICE OF DATES MY MANS:

It's important to note the use of color here. Blue, green, pink, and purple are the most common colors in this video. Blue & green are associated with L&H; pink and purple are two colors commonly tied to the LGBT+ community. https://c615.co/blog/coloring-a-community-the-pink-purple-lgbt-history/
JLY cont:
- Released on National Coming Out Day
- The S in "she" is torn off so it reads like s/he
- Green eyes appear at the same time
- "When I'm down I need H"
I could go on forever with this video tbh

MISS YOU VIDEO:
But the main 3 interesting things are these:
- A rainbow light appears behind Louis a couple times (1:40, 1:43)
- Pink inverted triangle!!
- The name STYLES in the corner - a lot of people also think this reads STEVE but that makes less sense to me

WE MADE IT LYRIC VIDEO:
This is one of my faves tbh. Look at the photos and come to your own conclusions.

WALLS (this one's so LOUD for so many reasons):
The pic attached is the loudest one in the entire video in my opinion.

ADORE YOU aka The Larry Beast
FALLING
This one doesn't have as much, but guess what colors the walls are? Louis blue. (The piano also has images of a ship and fish painted on)

WATERMELON SUGAR
Ok ok now onto music video parallels!! Before I get into H&L comparisons, tho I wanna point out real quick the parallel between this photo taken for SOTT and these screenshots from the Lights Up video
I’m not saying Harry wanted to parallel the two but that’s exactly what I’m saying. The Harry lying in the water is his HS1 ‘self’ - younger, less sure of himself - and the one floating above him is FL Harry, who’s finally discovered who he is and fully accepted himself. MAYBE.
Ok now to H&L - most of these I don't even need to explain so enjoy the visuals:
SOTT & WALLS PARALLEL
Bonus fun fact: The chair and the wall scene parallels with Oasis' "Live Forever" music video

Notice the contrast: pink vs. blue / white helmet vs. black helmet

LU & WMI CONT:
LIGHTS UP & WALLS:
Just in case we didn't get it before, MORE MIRRORS FROM LOUIS! Also, more contrast: H in a group of unmasked people of all genders, happy and comfortable / L in a group of masked people, uncomfortable

*A QUICK PAUSE BC THIS IS IMPORTANT*
Both of these scenes can be connected back to THIS scene in the Papillon (1973) movie. And it's already common knowledge that both H&L have complementary tattoos for this book/movie.

OKAY NOW AY & WMI CONT:
A quick note that I think is interesting. In H's video, he's going INTO the sea but in L's video, he's rising OUT of the sea. Another fun contrast.

FALLING & MISS YOU:
There's a lot of alcohol mentions in their music tbh, but I'd rather just put up these 2 pics and call it a day.
"No one to blame but the drink and my wandering hands" / "Just one more pint or five"

"Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, thrice is a pattern." And well....safe to say there's more than 3 coincidences between these two knuckleheads. We stan two big brained kings. Thanks for tuning in.
