Styles Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just know it's not with me
I don't know what I'd tell you
If I passed you on the street
I don't want your sympathy
But you don't know what you do to me
Oh, Anna (Na na na na, oh, Anna, na na na na)Every time I see your face
There's only so much I can take
Oh, Anna (Na na na na) Oh, Anna (Na na na na)
I don't know how you taste when
There's smoke in your perfume
So chew me up and spit me out
I've nothing left to lose
I don't want your sympathy
But you don't know what you do to me
Oh, Anna (Na na na na) Oh, Anna (Na na na na)
Every time I see your face
There's only so much I can take
Oh, Anna (Na na na na, oh, Anna, na na na na)
(Anna, you don't know)
(Anna, you don't know)
(Anna, you don't know)
You don't, you don't know now
(Anna, you don't know)
Never, never know (Never know)
(Anna, you don't know)
(Anna, you don't know)
I don't want your sympathy
Oh, Anna (Na na na na) Oh, Anna (Na na na na)
Every time I see your face
There's only so much I can take
Oh, Anna (Na na na na, oh, Anna, na na na na)
I hope you never hear this
And know that it's for you
I don't know how I'd tell you
If you asked me for the truth
I don't want your sympathy
But you never know what you do to me
Oh, Anna (Na na na na) Oh, Anna (Na na na na)
Every time I see your face
There's only so much I can take
Oh, Anna (Na na na na) Oh, Anna (Na na na na)
Oh, Anna oh, Anna
Ow!
In "Oh Anna," Styles Harry expresses his conflicted feelings towards a person named Anna. The opening lines convey a sense of distance and separation as he admits that he doesn't know where Anna is or what he would say if he were to encounter her. There is a sense of longing and frustration in his voice, suggesting that Anna's absence from his life is causing him pain.
The chorus reveals that Harry doesn't want Anna's sympathy, but at the same time, he acknowledges the power she holds over him. Every time he sees her face, it overwhelms him. The repetition of her name and the melodic "na na na" emphasize his emotional turmoil. He is caught in a cycle of desire and vulnerability that he can no longer bear.
The second verse illustrates Harry's curiosity about Anna's taste when smoke is present. It hints at an intoxicating mix of desire and danger as he pleads for her to consume him and discard him. This could symbolize the passionate yet destructive nature of their relationship.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that Harry is aware that Anna may never hear this song or understand its meaning. He questions how he would truthfully express himself if she were to ask him directly. The abrupt ending with a triumphant "Ow!" suggests a release of pent-up emotions.
Overall, "Oh Anna" portrays Harry Styles grappling with the intense emotions and confusion that come with longing for someone who may not even be aware of the impact they have on him.
