“get the bees coming in for the honey i supply,” meaning he provides, whether that’s media attention, press, money. all the promotion he gets he gets from modeling luxury brands, magazine cover shoots, and attending fashion shows, hence the yves saint laurent mention. and as a celebrity (post-1d) he’s been branded a style icon by being associated with a certain famous supermodel. myth’ll call me legend, and imma be one in my yves saint laurent.” he does a play on words when he sings “legend.” he means both a myth (because of the tale of icarus and daedalus that he’s referencing in the line that precedes it) and a celebrity. In the icarus interlude, zayn starts off by comparing himself to icarus: “call me icarus. i’m not allowed to talk about it, but i gotta tell you, cause we are who we are when no one’s watching.”) i got myself in a mess and without you i’m in more…that’s why i went to war.” (this also reminds me of “i won’t mind” where he sings, “we messed around until we found the one thing we said we could never ever live without. ( “move all the water, babe, lift the rocks up, tide getting stuck, nothing can stop us,” “we’d still make it if the planets all faded away,” “i go where you go, go through armageddon… standing on the edge of no tomorrow… this could be the end of me… i still follow,“ “as long as you’re feeling the same, i’ll follow you into the flames,” “i don’t mind falling if it means i get to fly again”) in “there you are,” zayn implies he got into trouble by becoming secretly involved with someone: “whispers in the background, behind closed doors. ( “let me be your man so i can love you for the rest of my life, for the rest of yours, for the rest of ours”) he’s singing about a serious, committed, long-lasting relationship he’s willing to fight for. the amount of times he sings about fate!!! ( “what if we never met?” “we got such a spiritual connection,” “a million chances of our glances, catching eyes across the room… this world’s filled, somehow i see you,” “i would live a thousand lifetimes if it’s you i’m sent to find,” “anywhere you go, round the universe, i’ll be there,” “i know we’ve met before,” “something divine, planets align, where we should be,” “i know i’ve seen your face in different times and places,” “i’m in the right place at the right time”) zayn himself insists “let me” is a wedding song. not only are they all about love but they’re all about a devoted, passionate, soulmate type of love. I mean zayn is scary consistent with the songs on the icarus part of the album.
