COMMON BY ZAIN LYRIC ANALYSIS
Always lookin& #39; out behind my fences
Always felt isolated, oh-oh-oh

Welp. Zaynie, just like a lot of us, had trust issues, and felt different and isolated because of many factors which may or may not include his religion.
I don& #39;t know why I was so defensive
I& #39;ll find a way to let you in

When you have trust issues, it& #39;s not easy to open upto people, even if you love them. I speak from first hand experience. He& #39;s defensive because he doesn& #39;t know how people will react to whatever he tries to say.
I will die if I don& #39;t try
Damned if I ask why

These lyrics, I feel, are very important. If you love someone, and you can& #39;t have them for whatever reason, you feel like you& #39;re dying, a lot of times. And the management constantly damns him for asking why he can& #39;t have Liam.
This is somethin& #39; real
This is somethin& #39; right

He knows his love for Liam is real. He knows Liam is the right person, and no matter how much anyone condemns them, there& #39;s nothing wrong with them being together.
Never been in love
Never felt it hard until now

Liam was his first love. Liam will be his last. And the restrictions placed on them by the management do nothing but make their love for each other stronger.
As I lay here in your bed
I need you on my chest
To warm me all the time
To take away your breath

I guess this is self explanatory
It& #39;s written on your lips
There ain& #39;t nothin& #39; common & #39;bout us

When they kiss, they know what they have is really pure, which isn& #39;t common in today& #39;s time. Could also be taken in the context that because both of them are men, what they have isn& #39;t that common.
In this ordinary world
Where nothin& #39; is enough
Everything is grey
Mistaking love for lust

Very important.
Ordinary always assumed as het.
Gray=Heterosexuality.
Mistaking love for lust- people saying shipping ziam is "fetishizing mlm" when they are actually in love.
We aren& #39;t jerking off/fingering ourselves to mlm sex tapes. We aren& #39;t forcing them to kiss in public for our entertainment.
We don& #39;t ship them for entertainment. THAT is fetishizing mlm. Not believing that two people are together.
I see all your flaws and imperfections
But that& #39;s what makes me love you more, oh-oh-oh
We got such a spiritual connection
Don& #39;t you know you& #39;re fuckin& #39; beautiful

Liam gets insecure too. He& #39;s also human. Zayn& #39;s tryna tell him how he& #39;s beautiful and he loves him despite his flaws
I wanna feel your love
Just give me all your trust
Common ain& #39;t us
& #39;Cause common ain& #39;t enough

We literally have Liam singing the backup on these lines. Do you seriously need more Ziam proof?
