Little Freak (Harryâs House) - My analysis
Hi, itâs me again with another song analysis. This one was extremely hard for me to write because itâs a delicate subject and I was really worried I could offend Harry with someday Iâd say. Before you go into this analysis, know that I do support the theory that Harry has an internal She, therefore this analysis talks into this, so please, read with open mind. Also, this is a raw analysis of the song. With that in mind, bear with me. This is long.
Little Freak - The way society sees a trans person, maybe the way he used to see himself.
âLittle freak, Jezebel, you sit high atop the kitchen counterâ - This is the part that sort of confused me as to which way to take when interpreting the song. The biblical meaning of the name Jezebel means an impudent, shameless, or morally unrestrained woman. In general, calling someone Jezebel it means theyâre a gold digger. And on Urban Dictionary it also means someone who gets pregnant at a younger age. At first I thought this song could be a Kiwi 2.0, but the rest of the song is sweet, so I will follow the thought that itâs a woman who is judged by society.
âStayed green a little whileâ - Being green means that youâre immature, youâre young and lack experience. That could relate to a younger Harry who was aware of his internal She and didnât want to look into it because maybe he was scared. It could mean that when he was younger he didnât explore it, but as he got older, he started looking into it and exploring his feminine side.
âYou bring blue lights to dreamsâ - A blue light strengthens and stimulates connections between areas of your brain that process emotion and language. This means that blue light may, in turn, help people to better handle emotional challenges and regulate mood over time. What I think it means is that his internal She is the one who keeps him true to himself, to who he really is.
âStarry haze and crystal ballsâ - âStarry hazeâ could be related to âwritten in the starsâ which means itâs meant to happen, which goes along with the utility of crystal balls, which is seeing the future. So he wonders if in the future he might feel more comfortable with himself.
âSomehow youâve become some paranoiaâ - At first, Harry decided to explore his feminine side and didnât look too much into it, but when he realised that his internal She had a way deeper and more important meaning to him and that he really identified himself with her, he couldnât escape it, and therefore it became a paranoia. It could also mean that he was scared to publically explore his feminine side, afraid people would judge it, and so he started being paranoid âbut if I do this they will see it, but if I paint my nails they will think Iâm this or thatâ and so it goes. (It really hurts to write this).
âWet dreams just danglingâ - Well, I donât need to say what this term means, but remember Harryâs lyrics in She when he says âsheâs the first one that I seeâ that relates to his internal She being the first thing he sees when he wakes up and âshe sleeps in his bedâ? It could mean that during the night he dreams about things that truly make him⌠you know, and then he wakes up to⌠well, the meaning of the term wet dreams.
âBut your gift is wasted on meâ - In my point of view this part means that Harryâs internal She is the one who writes the lyrics, composes songs, but Harryâs outside (he) is the one who takes credit for it.
âI was thinking about who you areâ - Same meaning of Harryâs lyrics in She when he says âI donât know who she isâ, that basically means he doesnât know who this side of him is, but heâs trying to figure out.
âYour delicate point of viewâ - This one just made me emotional. It could be read as his internal She being sweet, timid and delicate.
âIâm not worried about where you are and who you go home toâ - I canât really think of something, just maybe he doesnât have to worry because sheâs safe with him?
âIâm just thinking about you, just thinking about youâ - Again, thinking.
âDid you dress up for a halloweenâ - This is so loud because Halloween is the day you can dress as anything and no one will judge you because theoretically is a costume. And the loudest thing: Harry did dress up for Halloween, he dressed up as Dorothy and Miley and Elton (thank you to those who pointed out I should add it here!) and thatâs the thing - Harry didnât dress up for Halloween, his internal She did because, on that day, she could be out, even if it was just on the way she dressed.
âI spilled beer on your friend, Iâm not sorryâ - In this part, remember what I said about his internal She getting dressed up for Halloween? Yes, she can get dressed up, but she canât be the one out in the open. The one interacting with people, drinking with friends, is Harry. So, she didnât spill the drink, Harry did, and maybe because he made a joke about his costume?
âA golf swing and a trampoline, maybe weâll do this againâ - I have no clue what it means, but maybe it could mean things he did while being in the open, letting his internal She out.
âTracksuit and a ponytailâ - I would add pictures of Harry in a ponytail and hair accessories, but this post would never end. Also, tracksuit and ponytail are exactly the sort of Harry we see when heâs out for runs.
âYou hide the body, all that yoga gave youâ - I think this could be talking about the clothes he wears, since heâs always wearing pants. This reminded me of Louisâ âI havenât seen you in a dress beforeâ and itâs exactly what I think he means. Perhaps the internal She wants to wear a dress and show off because sheâs beautiful and does yoga, ha!
âRed wine and ginger ale, but you would make fun of me for sureâ - Could mean that Harry would drink to try to forget her, but then heâd loosen himself and either let her show or his internal She (him himself) would judge him for trying to act manly.
âI disrespected you, jumped in feet first and landed too hard, broke a ankle, karma rulesâ - Basically means that at first, he disrespected his internal She, treated her roughly, ignored her, maybe even joked about her (people who make jokes to deal with trauma), but she wouldnât leave and she kept coming back and turned into a paranoia, and so âkarma rulesâ.
âYou never saw my birthmarkâ - A birthmark is something that you a born with, itâs something that remains with you. And so, the birthmark could mean his internal She, he was born with it and itâs a part of him he canât change because itâs who he is. (Credits for my friend Newt for thinking of it).
In conclusion, I strongly believe itâs a continuation to She. In She, Harry doesnât know who she is, just knows sheâs there, he says âI donât know who she isâ and heâs not looking into it, doesnât want to know, maybe is trying to ignore her. However in Little Freak, he says âI was thinking about who you are, your delicate point of viewâ which means he knows who she is, he knows what sheâs like and he accepts it, he likes her.Â
For me, this was an extremely emotional analysis to write because this is a delicate subject and I was constantly worried Iâd write something that would offend him and her, but I think this is okay.Â
Also, he disrespected her at first, this song is him describing the road of acceptance. I think he now accepts who he is, and I feel nothing but proud of him.Â
