    Adore You, a lyrical analysis from Fine Line, a Harry Styles album


    Adore You, Song Meaning and Lyrical Interpretation




    Adore You is such a sweet song - and it is what we'll be discussing today. Before I begin, I wanted to shout out Harry Styles for getting his first number one hit with Watermelon Sugar! This has been a summer of watermelon and sugar - mostly because of quarantine and there isn't much to do xD.
    Walk in your rainbow paradise (paradise)
    Strawberry lipstick state of mind (state of mind)
    I get so lost inside your eyes
    Would you believe it?
    Adore You is, simply, a love song. I think it's a really good one that should go down in history (but I don't think it charted too high). It's got classic rock elements that give it an old-schooled solid love song vibe. "I get so lost inside your eyes," could be considered a cliche in love songs but it's a good one! I'm a sucker for people in love getting lost in each others eyes.

    "Strawberry lipstick," is a call back to Harry's love of fruits that is seen throughout this album with Watermelon Sugar and Cherry.
    You don't have to say you love me
    You don't have to say nothing
    You don't have to say you're mine
    This verse shows that Harry loves unconditionally. It is very sweet because he doesn't expect anything back from this other person. Harry is willing to give love freely - there are no expectations. What can be more self-less and romantic?
    Honey
    I'd walk through fire for you
    Just let me adore you
    Oh, honey
    I'd walk through fire for you
    Just let me adore you
    Like it's the only thing I'll ever do
    It looks like Harry's love interest isn't reciprocating, but Harry doesn't mind. He is asking her to accept his love, because he'll protect and adore her, always. "Like it's the only thing I'll ever do," is Harry's dramatic way of saying that he's fine with his life even if the only thing he accomplishes during it is to love her.
    Your wonder under summer skies (summer skies)
    Brown skin and lemon over ice
    Would you believe it?
    I've said this before, and I will say it again, Fine Line is a summer album!! "Brown skin," could be saying that his lover has a tan due to the sun (though, of course, she could always just be not-white). "Lemon over ice," is talking about lemonade which is a summer staple! Lemonade quenches the thirst built up by the heat of summer.

    Maybe Harry is having a summer romance. But I wouldn't be quick to say so - this song talks about serious love. A love that is all-encompassing, unconditional, and sweet.
