#stunting

I would like to preface this by saying that this is MY interpretation. Nobody has to agree with me. I just noticed a theme, and while the song seems really upbeat, it’s reminiscent of anger, defeat, and hope.

Verse 1:

“She got me wasted, the way she's making me lie.”

This could be taken quite literally. Zara (and other stunts/the industry) are making him lie about his sexuality. Maybe he’s self-medicating because of that. Or, it could mean that he’s generally disillusioned/numb (as one would be while intoxicated)

“Hung from her bracelet, her lucky charm if I like.”

Zara has a “L” necklace. We all know she’s getting good PR from him, therefore, it’s her lucky charm as long as he continues to stay quiet.

“Symptoms of coming to life, no point in thinking it twice.”

To me, this sounds like he’s accepting how he feels as a symptom of being ready to come out (“come to life”) and there isn’t a point in dwelling because that’s how it has to be.

“She got me wasted, the way I'm chasing the night”

Similar to the first lyric, except maybe “chasing the night” is chasing freedom.

Pre-chorus:

“I don't wanna go home”

He doesn’t want to return to his curated image. He’s uncomfortable with the official narrative about his sexuality.

“Am I losing control?”

He’s fed up and questioning his ability to continue being closeted.

“I don't wanna go home” (x2)

He’s driving in the point that he hates his current situation and wants out.

Chorus:

“She's so bitter, she's so sweet”

Stunts are nice because they keep him and his career safe, but they’re also bitter because they hide his true identity from the world and help keep him closeted.

“Lemonade, lemonade”

His situation is a mix of bitter and sweet because he gets to publicly share his music (doing what he loves) but not himself: lemonade.

“A little taste is all I need”

He needs just a taste of freedom—someone to loosen the reigns before he breaks.

Verse 2:

“She got me waking at times that I've never seen.”

He’s having to work really hard to publicly stunt with her and create the lie. It’s not natural.

“Bright yellow spaceship might make me start to believe”

This could be taken two ways. Harry has been seen wearing rocket ship shirts before. Maybe he’s saying Harry is convincing him that coming out is a possibility.

Or

He’s hoping for a sign to believe that better things are to come. But space ships are rare sightings. He has to wait for the right moment.

“Symptoms are stuck on repeat, no point in trying to leave.”

This line feels like defeat right after an inkling of hope. He’s experiencing doubt. He feels the walls closing in on him. He’s never going to get out, so there’s no point in trying to.

“She got me waking, it's doing something to me”

Maybe the situation with Zara has woken him up to the buried desperation he feels to break away from the chains of the closet. This has been his most controversial stunt, and people are assuming terrible things about him. It would make sense that this would urge him even more.

Bridge:

“Is it only human to escape into delusion?”

He’s trying to justify imagining a world where he could freely love whomever he wants without consequences.

“And if I should try to prove it, would I win or would I lose it?”

Battle of the stunts

I hate it here

foxes as cheer positions:

dan - main base. you know that girl is strong enough to support a group and she’d be beast at it

kevin - backspot but he HAS flown and is a pretty good flyer. he’s def diva enough to give facials in the air and i just know he’d be flexible

andrew - main base. beefy shoulders and the strength to carry a flyer despite his height

matt - backspot but he has main based in tall groups (thinking kevin flying, seth backspotting and nicky side basing). prefers main basing but alas, he’s not able to due to the lack of backspots on the team 😓

aaron - side base. the height to support a main base but not beefy enough to main himself. he COULD, but he doesn’t because he prefers siding (also by side basing, he’s able to stunt with andrew)

seth - backspot though he has side based before

allison - flyer (according to my sister) but i do think she can do it all tbh. i just know my girl is packing enough strength to do either basing position and her height allows her to backspot certain groups

nicky - side base though he’s forced to backspot due to his height sometimes (depends on the group)

renee - side base 100% (most often bases with andrew bc they’re besties like that 😋)

Hi, anon!

Ohhhh so that's why he didn’t leave CR with the others. It's stunt time!

Time to unleash the anon i got a month or so ago and kept on hand until an eventual tropical vacation? Lol. Here it is:

My older sister knew Za*a McDer*ott at secondary school and still hears information about her from their old friendship group. The reason there's been no movement on the L/Z relationship is because they're arguing over the terms of the contract. Photos are supposed to appear once a month and Louis took this to mean pap shots of them leaving a club or restaurant. Zara thinks this means photos her own photographer has taken which she can put on her IG, which the tabloid press can then pick up on.

They're also supposed to go on vacation or at least look like they're on vacation very soon. Louis just wanted to go down to the south coast and get papped walking on the beach before travelling back to London the same day. Zara is arguing that this location doesn't fit her image which is all about expensive tropical vacations. She likes the idea of Anguilla or St Lucia but Louis has put his foot down and he won't devote that much time to the stunt. Now they're at a stalemate.

- it’s normal to get engaged < 1 year (really <8 months) of being together

- its normal to move in together < 1 year of being together

- its normal to spend big, family holidays together < 1 year of being together

- its normal to make a public “i love you” announcement at 6 months (i lol at this because didn’t someone clock he did this with his other gf?)

- its normal to completely change your style to match your partner when you’re < 1 year into a relationship

- its normal to walk in circles around a city 2938293829x a week

- its normal to let the world know you’re dating someone bc who cares about privacy?

- its normal to drop what you’re doing and spend hours and days following your partner around the world

- its normal to only publically engage in your partners projects but not any of their personal stuff

- apparently it’s also normal to never publically engage in your siblings projects but only your partners

- its normal to support a new partner being aeound the other partner’s “child” and claim her to be the “step mom” when they’ve been < 1 year together

- its normal to publicize holidays that you and your partner are going to spend together when it’s 1-2 months away

- its normal to advertise your own products and projects after your partner does any type of promo

- its normal to want a couple to have a baby when they’re < 1 year together

I’m sure there’s more, but literally it’s all so laughable and fake. It baffles me the most that they’re not even 1 year together (both stunts) and they have all of this!!

So when they have to do PDA with their supposed girlfriends, it always looks so unnatural and forced. Like, the more they try, the worse it gets. And I honestly don’t get how people buy it.
