Harry
Medison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part (no)
In my mind and in my heart
Cause your kiss
Lemme tell you 'bout Harry
First of all must go
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part (no)
In my mind and in my heart
Cause your kiss
Went deeper than my skin
First of all must go...
The lyrics to "Harry" by Medison are about letting go of a past love. The first verse depicts the process of physically removing oneself from the memories of the relationship, such as the lingering scent on a pillow and the whispers in one's dreams. The next verse touches on the emotional aspect of moving on, with the idea that even though their lips may no longer be touching, the person's impact on the singer's heart and mind is still profound. The chorus repeats the idea that "first of all must go" in regards to the remnants of the relationship.
The song then switches gears with the introduction of the titular character, Harry. The bridge describes Harry as someone the singer used to know but has now become unknown, with the promise that "I'll remember you" but also a recognition that it's time to let go. The final chorus returns to the repetition of "first of all must go" but now with the added layer of Harry, who represents a reminder of the past relationship that the singer must leave behind.
Overall, "Harry" is about the struggle of coming to terms with a relationship that has ended and the need to move on, despite the pain and memories that linger. It touches on both the physical and emotional aspects of this process, and uses Harry as a metaphor for the memories and reminders that must be left behind.

Your scent upon my pillow
The lingering memory of you still remains

The way you loved me
Went deeper than my skin
Was more than just physical attraction
Lemme tell you 'bout Harry
I want to introduce you to someone important to me

Absolutely one of the top tracks in hip hop, the sample, the rhymes, the storytelling, skrein's voice, the breaks with phone call, the end, man, this tune hits the spot to bits. Much respect!
