Christina Perri: A Thousand Years Meaning
Song Released: 2011
Covered By: Jasmine Thompson
A Thousand Years Lyrics
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
(Pre-chorus)
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died...

Christina stepped into this romance and was able to feel the love as if it was her own. Each word she wrote pours out her own romantic hopes and dreams about how she wishes love will be for her and the one she loves. She is able to capture the emotional side of those that listen. You see her beauty, you feel her pain, you taste the sweetness of love as she sings. There is intensity in her writing and fire in her voice. For those she loves, there is passion beyond belief, everlasting and true. This is an inspiration for those guys that feel there are no more girls left who love like this. I will wait a thousand years for another song that touches me like this one has. Thank you Christina. Never give up.

For all you Percy Jackson HOO fans, this is Caleo.
Calypso: Heart beats fast (Oh no! It's the curse! Now I'll have to fall in love all over again!)
Leo: Colors and promises (Green of Ogygia, "I'll be back for you, Calypso. I swear it on the River Styx."
Calypso:How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? (Because he'll just abandon me, wont he?)
Together: But watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow (Right before Leo leaves)
Leo: One step closer!(to finding her)
Calypso: I have died every day waiting for you. (Leo Valdez...has returned!) Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years (that's how long it felt) I'll love you for a thousand more... (I AM immortal)
Leo: Time stands still. Beauty in all she is. (Calypso's beautiful...) I will be brave. I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me. (And I WILL come back for you. I love you.)
Together: Every breath, Every hour has come to this... (Again, right before Leo left)
("One step closer" to "a thousand more" is a repeat)
Leo: And all along I believed I would find you. (Because I swore it, didn't I?)
Calypso: Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you
Together: for a thousand years...I'll love you for a thousand more...
(rest of song=repeats but that was fun!) -
This song reminds me of Jack and Rose on Titanic, with their unconditional love. Like Rose was so scared because their love was forbidden and Jack wanted to protect her no matter what and the song is Old Rose remembering their love and saying that she will love him even when she dies and then when she dies and Jack is waiting for her he is saying that he too has been waiting and he will always love her. That's what I got out of it.

I really love this song,It really influences me...I think this song is about a girl who has been in love with a boy,but she hadn't had enough courage to talk to him about her feeling,but know she can't stop loving him,she wants to give a chance,she wants to tell him her beautifull emotions,that's why she said"I've died every day waiting for you"...or"one step closer"..or "doubts go away".....now she really wants to be with him,and she is really sure about herself,her feeling and also himself,she is sure that she is always in love with him,It's why she decide to go one step closer....that's the most beautifull feeling of world:waiting thousands years for someone who is everything to you....

Although I doubt this is what the song was intended to mean... to me it interprets the struggle my daughter went through in her first few months of life. She was a micro preemie who was very sick and spent a long time in a NICU. Every word of this song strikes a cord with me personally because the lyrics are so bang on to what you feel when you go through something like this. Your afraid to love because you may be hurt and lose them, every day is a struggle waiting for them to finally come home, watching her 'stand alone' represents being in the incubator and being helpless and you just love them.. and always will even if they are not with you in the end 'love you for a thousand years'. And of course 'One step closer' is the daily inspiration till the day till they do come home.

A pregnant woman should sing this song to her baby, every word matches perfectly!

First of all, Christina Perri wrote this song for the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1. It actually IS about Bella and Edward, it's about their wedding. When Bella walks down the aisle, her heart beats fast and that she's always known that Edward is the one and only for her. 'I have died everyday ....' Is when Edward watches Bella getting closer to him, which feels like a thousand years, he's waited so long for her, he literally 'died' for her and he'll love her for a thousand years, forever. It also is about Edward being afraid to hurt Bella and Bella not letting him go away again, that he'll always be hers. No matter how you guys interprete this song, it is always amazing <3

my interpretation of this song means of finding the one you're going t b with but sometimes it doesn't work out like that even a little texas song called what might've been tells about a relationship that didnt last and entered different relationship but they couldn't g back t what was before even though ive never been in love
-
Love this song I have waited a thousand years for you. I've finally found you and I can't let you go.

It could be the love of a boy from a girl that she has loved him for a very long time but never had the courage to confront him because she wasn't sure if he would feel the same way. The second verse could be the now couple having the child and the girl with never let her offspring be taken away or harmed.

I think this song is about a girl who is so in love with this guy and he doesn't love her back. She is saying that she will always love him and she will wait as long as she has to for him to finally love her back. My boyfriend who I was so in love with broke up with me a week ago and he loved me too but he lost that feeling apparently. I still love him and I always will love him. And I can connect with this song so well because I will wait as long as it takes for him to love me again :)
-
I belive this song is about the love of a mother to her son or daughter.
