// "Make a little conversation. So long I've been waiting to let go of myself and feel alive" // To me, this song very much sounds like a person realizing/coming to terms with their sexuality. And in this line it sounds like the narrator is talking about it a little bit to a friend but not "outting" themselves, although they would love to come out and they feel like they have waited so long to do so. // "So many nights I thought it over. Told myself I kind of liked her, But there was something missing in her eyes" // So this sounds like a boy who has struggled with their sexuality for a long time, telling themselves that he could be straight, but realizing that he can't be. // "I was stumbling, looking in the dark, with an empty heart. But you say you feel the same. Could we ever be enough? Baby we could be enough" // This means that he was still struggling, unable to love the girl. Then he met a boy who was also struggling with the same thing. He ends up really liking this boy and questions if they could be enough. And the reply, "baby we could be enough" is either the same boy (the narrator) answering his own question, saying "yes. this could work". Or another perspective could be that it was the another boy's reply, saying that they both could be enough. // "And it's alright. Calling out for somebody to hold tonight. When you're lost, I'll find the way and I'll be your light. You'll never feel like you're alone, I'll make this feel like home" // At this point in the song you can tell the couple is in a relationship. For the line, "calling out for somebody to hold tonight", I imagine the boy calling the narrator (on the phone or in real life) to come sleep with them because he feels lonely and/or homesick. And when the narrator does, he replies, "you'll never feel like your alone. I'll make this feel like home". // "So hot that I couldn't take it. Want to wake up and see your face and remember how good it was being here last night" // So this is when they wake up in the morning in each other's arms, enjoying the moment and remembering last night. // "still high with a little feeling. I see the smile as it starts to creep in. It was there, I saw it in your eyes." // I don't think they meant literally "high", I think he meant that he was so happy last night and the next morning that he just felt a high. The narrator looks at the boy when they both wake up and he smiles at him and suddenly the narrator realizes that he's in love. "it was there, I saw it in your eyes" is a very important line. earlier in the song, he says "there was something missing in her eyes". so he finally found what was missing in her eyes and found it in his. also notice that the pronoun changed from "her" to "your". Then the third verse and chorus repeats. |

| One Direction – End Of The Day Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
// "I told her that I loved her, just not sure if she heard. The roof was pretty windy and she didn't say a word Party died downstairs, had nothing left to do. Just me, her and the moon" // This is in the perspective of someone who obviously has a crush on a girl. As I read this I imagine the narrator and the girl sitting alone on a rooftop while a party goes on downstairs. // "I said you're on fire babe. Then down came the lightning on me. Love can be frightening for sure" // The narrator confesses their love to the girl. Then "the lightning came down on me" I think means that someone or mutiple people told them no. "love can be frightening for sure" means that the narrator wasn't expecting what happened to their relationship. // "All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say. And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break sometimes. All I know at the end of the day is love who you love. There ain't no other way. If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes, You're the one that I want at the end of the day." The chorus has quite a lot of meaning to it. Although it could be about a girl and a boy, I think this song about a same sex relationship. I think this because of the lyrics "you love who you love, there ain't no other way". The narrator sounds like a person who finally begins to accept themselves in terms of their sexuality. in the line "if there's something I learned for a million mistakes", it sounds as if they've tried to deny who they were before, maybe trying to fall in love with someone of the opposite sex but then to later learn that that wasn't who they were. but at the end of the day, they realized who they loved and wanted and the was no other way. // "Said the night was over, I said it's forever. Twenty minutes later wound up in the hospital. The priest thinks it's the devil. My mum thinks it's the flu. But girl it's only you." // This verse is what makes me really believe this song is about a same sex couple (I think girl and girl because they use female pronouns through the song but it could be about a boy and boy). the line "the priest thinks it's the devil", means that they think that love someone of the same gender is a sin. "my mum thinks it's the flu", means that their mum thinks that it's a phase. "but girl it's only you" means that no matter what people say about them, they truly believe that they love them. Then the second verse and chorus repeats. // "When the sun goes I know that you and me and everything will be alright. And when the city's sleeping, you and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming. You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming". // This verse is self explanatory but they are talking about when they go to sleep, they believe that when they wake up, everything will be ok for them. Then the chourus repeats. |
