| One Direction – Walking In The Wind Lyrics | 9 years ago |

I think this song can easily be interpreted as a love song between a couple, but I like to think of it as a song the boys (Harry) wrote for each other (One Direction). Harry was always the least vocal about One Direction getting back together, and I think this was his stance on the whole hiatus. He didn't have to speak out on the situation, because he wrote a song about it. Hear me out, 'History' is a song for the fans. I think 'Walking in the Wind' is the song for themselves. I look at it as the promise to each other that even though they're taking a (much needed) break, they will see each other again ("I'll see your face again"). This might be the optimist in me, but that's how I interpret the song. The songs starts with the idea along the lines of: "guys, we're doing it, we're taking a break. It'll be different, but don't worry we're still hear for each other and excited for each other." See below: If you're lost, just look for me You'll find me in the region of the summer stars The fact that we can sit right here and say goodbye Means we've already won It's about the time they've had together, the fun, the "good times" the "tricks up their sleeves" -- for me, this triggers images of Louis. See below: Aw, we had some good times, didn't we? Aw, we had some good tricks up our sleeve The break is referred to as the 'goodbye' ("goodbyes are bittersweet"). But they promise to each other that, "...it's not the end, I'll see your face again". See below: Aw, goodbyes are bittersweet But it's not the end I'll see your face again The song is about the opportunities that they now have. It's an exciting, yet scary time for them, full of possibilities. This is demonstrated in the lines below: "You will find me, And you will find me In places that we've never been For reasons we don't understand Walking in the wind" It's an idyllic concept, walking in the wind, imagery of being completely at ease and enjoying life. Taking opportunities as they come and their time to grow. Throughout the song their is the excitement of new opportunities, but the draw back to their friendship and the importance One Direction has in each of their hearts. This is my favorite song on the album, and I think that's because of my interpretation of the song, which may be far, far off! |
