One Direction: Moments Meaning
Moments Lyrics
Shut the door
Turn the light off
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this
Even though I try
Heart beats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And...
-
As many people have said this song is just about a girl dying that a boy really loved, but he never really got to tell her. The lyrics say that his judgement is clouded, and in his depression, he kills himself in order to be with her. This is such a sad song!
-
NOT ABOUT SUICIDE!! ed sharren himself tweeted that it is just a normal love song
-
Ed Sheeran said he wrote this about his girlfriend...who's still alive (not to be uncreative or negative here, but...)
-
Personally I think that it's about obviously about and guy and a girl in love. But for some odd reason they just can't be together. For reasons such as parents, long distance, etc. and he doesn't want it to be that way. But I do completely understand where everyone who says the whole "death" thing is coming from. It could very well be that too. But I believe it can be any situation that you think it is because we all think of different scenarios and reasons. I luv u 1D!<3
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
It's plain and simple to explain the song for people to understand. Think of a modern day "Romeo and Juliet". Your welcome!

Okay, so, im going to break it down line by line:
Shut the door
Turn the light off
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this- he is really sad. hes trying to hide a secret
Even though I try
Heart beats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands
Touch skin- he is laying with her while she is sleeping
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face- hes sad because he is going to commit suicide
(bridge)
If we could only have this life
For one more day
If we could only turn back time- he wishes that he could not let all the bulling get to his head
(chorus)
You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be- even though hes dead and gone, she should still keep him in her heart
My love
My heart
Is breathing for this-he loves her
Moment
In time
I’ll find the words to say
Before you leave me today- i think it should be before i leave you today, because hes the one leaving
Close the door
Throw the key- hes locking up his house for the final time
Don’t wanna be reminded
Don’t wanna be seen-he dosnt want anyone to try to stop him
Don’t wanna be without you
My judgment's clouded
Like tonight's sky- because he dosent want to leave her, but he thinks he needs to go. and its rainy
Hands are silent
Voice is numb- hes in shock and grieveing about how she is going to feel
Try to scream out my lungs
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face-still sad. hes only thinking of how this is going to affect his girlfriend
(bridge)
(chorus)
Flashing lights in my mind- the cars zooming by on the bridge
Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet- his life is flashing before his eyes
There’s a numb in my toes-hes already starting to feel dead
Standing close to the edge-gonna jump
There’s a pile of my clothes
At the end of your bed- so she has something to remember him by
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all- his coping method
(chourus x2)
Summary:
This song is about a boy who decides to kill himself and is thinking of his girlfriend. At first i thought that the girlfriend was dead, but dont you think it would be a little creepy to lay with a dead person? and why would she be in her bed? so i think that hes spending his last night with the love of his life before he leaves. its quite sad really
rateee? -
This song is about a boyfriend who has lost his girlfriend because she has died. He can no longer cope being without her and has chosen to commit suicide. In the end, he is finally reunited with her in Heaven.
-
I think it is about someone leaving and you don't want them to go. Where does it mention the person is dead. They are obviously alive when they sing the song. I mean, you don't lay in a bed with a dead body. This person is alive. Maybe their just leaving or they are breaking up.
-
His girlfriend dies? Sorry didn't get that. Where is the line thats hows that the girlfriend is dead?
-
This is honestly an emotionally beautiful song! I have never heard someone put so much emotion in to a verse like Louis did. His part is breathtaking
-
This song is about a guy who tries to cope after his girlfriends death but realizes that he can't so he commits suicide. In Liam's part he is remembering times when he was with her and how much he loved her. Harry's part is him saying that if he had more time he would be her everything. That leads straight to the choruses where he says that he would do and be everything for her and his life is depending on the moment when he tells her he loves her but he's to late. Niall's part is when he realizes he cant live without her and he wants to be left alone so nothing can remind him of her. "My judgement's clouded like tonight's sky" is when he admits that he hasn't been thinking straight so his decision to kill himself may have been rushed. Louis's part is about how he didn't/couldn't tell anyone about his depression. Zayn's part is right before he jumps. He thinks about times in his life as it flashes by him. "There's a numb on my toes standing close to the edge" says that he kills him self by jumping off of something. As he falls he makes a joke of his life.
-
His girlfriend has died and he feels he can't live another second without her.
At Zayns solo he sings "Kicking the ball with my feet." he is going through his thoughts and memorize.
He says "The numb in my toes." he is jumping of a building or bridge going to kill himself thinking that he will meet up with his girlfriend in heaven. He says "As I begin to fall I make a joke of it all." he jumps and is happy he will see his love again. The end is them seeing each other in heaven. -
People are taking this to a different level. This song is simply about a boy explaining his love for a girl.
Shut the door
Turn the light of- Means he just wants to be with this girl alone because he loves her
I want to be with you
I wanna feel your love- He wants to be with her and he to feel loved by her. These lyrics have nothing to do with death
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this even though i try-
This means that he wants to lay next to her(not in a cemetary) He cannot hide his feelings as much as he trys to which.
Heart Beats Hrder
Time Escapes me
Tremblng Touch skin
It makes this harder
and th tears stream down my face- His heart is beating harder beause he's getting nervous, again nothing to do with death. Then he losestrack of time beause he just wants to be withthe girl. The girls nervous too and when he touches his skin her hands are trembling. He's saying that this girl makes it harder because he loves her. And the tears stream because he loves her andd never wants her to leave him. I can see that being a ittle confusing,
If we can only have this life forone more day I we can only turn back time- he wants to turn back to a time were it was easier and have one more day for a hard life.
You know i'll be your life your voice you reason to be my love my heart is breathing for this moment in time i'll find the words to say before you leave me today- These lyrics explain themself. He wants to be the only one she lovee. And he can't find the right words to say I love you and he's saying he will before she leaves him
CLos the door
Throw the Key- they don't want anyone to see them because they want to be alone
Don't want to be reminded- He doesn't want to be reminded that he has to leave
Don't wanttobe seenDo't wanna be without you- He oesn't ever want to be without this gilr because he loves her so much
My Judgements clouded
Like tonights sky- he's saying he's stressed beccause he can't find the words so hes stressed.
Undecided!!!- He doesn't know what to do
Voice is numb- He can't speak because he is so nrvous
Try to scream out my love- he's trying to say i love you but h cant
It makes this harder
and the tears stream down my face
Harrys Part Again
CHorus
Flashing lights in my mind
Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet-
He's goig back to old times when this was easier for him.
Dancing on my twos standing close to the edge- This part is just a vision of him getting out thhe words finalyy
Thyeres a part of my cloths at the end of your bed- That mean they started taking it to the next level
As i feel my self fall make a joke of it all- means that he pictures hs word coming out but it was just something he thought was haappening
Chorus
This song may be a very sad song but it's not about what you think even though some of the lyrics sound like that.
It's about someone trying to get out the word i love you. -
This song is about mangoes and pears. the mango says he loves the pear but the pear kills him. then they meet eachother in heaven! :)
