Harry Styles - She Lyrics Meaning

I think this is about Larry :). The “he” being addressed is Louis, the “she” is Eleanor, and the “I” is Harry.

Think about it... if you wanted to be with someone but they’re with someone else, you would think about that “someone else” all the time, right?

“She lives in daydreams with me / and I don’t know why / I don’t know who she is” ~~He doesn’t know why he’s always thinking about Eleanor, because he “doesn’t know her”. But it’s because she’s with the man he wants to be with (aka Louis).~~

“Nine in the morning / The man drops his kids off at school / And he's thinking of you / Like all of us do” ~~Louis drops Freddie off at school and is thinking about Eleanor. “Like all of us do”—The “us” would be the fandom—but notice he said “us” not “they”—so he, included, is thinking about Eleanor, too...~~

“Sends his assistant for coffee in the afternoon / Around 1:32 / Like he knows what to do” ~~ONE IF THE 12 EASTER EGGS IN FINE LINE. I’ve seen many videos showing what the “around 1:32” line means. Rather than 1:32 in the afternoon (it being a time) it’s a time stamp. In many of the One Direction music videos—around the 1 minute and 32 second mark—is a frame of LOUIS. Look it up for yourself if you don’t believe me, it’s quite mind blowing;).~~

“He takes a boat out / Imagines just sailing away / And not telling his mates / He wouldn't know what to say” ~~Louis wants to escape and be free (express his sexuality), but the only thing he can do would be to “sail away”. And he can’t reveal that to his mates because they would question why because his life seems so happy—he has a girlfriend and a kid.~~

“A woman who's just in his head / And she sleeps in his bed / While he plays pretend / So pretend” ~~Eleanor is just in Louis’s head, he doesn’t really love her. He plays pretend because he can’t admit to her that he really loves Harry.~~

This is just my interpretation of it, I agree with all the other interpretations, too. Like the ones about the “she” being Harry’s feministic side. And let me just get this off my chest... Harry Styles is really good at telling stories through songs; he’s SO gifted.

Have a good day ;).
