Memories
Another Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set on pages of despair
Flicking through these tattered tales I weep.
But every memory goes, each time the covers close
Another piece of history is put to sleep.
Awashed with guilt, can't bear to see
Your smiling face staring back at me.
Once so frail and deft
Just torn apart and left.
Thrown aside to decay and die.
The memories will fade, occasionally replayed.
On lonely nights I wake and wonder why.
Awashed with guilt, can't bear to see
Your smiling face staring back at me.
When I didn't even say goodbye.
It may just be once in a lifetime.
But I'll never forget the day that I mis-read all the signs.
It may just be a selfish thought of mine.
But I'll never forget the day I didn't read the telltale signs.
The lyrics of Another Direction's song "Memories" narrate the story of someone who reminisces about the past but is unable to change the mistakes they made. The singer is flipping through an old book of memories, and regrets the missed chances and unspoken words. The memories they shared seem to be turning into a source of pain and sorrow, and they can't help but feel guilty for not saying goodbye. The song depicts a sense of longing for a time that has long passed, and a deep yearning to make things right.
As the song progresses, the singer confronts their own misreading of the signs that could have saved their relationship. They realize that this might have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they lost it because they were unable to see the signals. Despite the passage of time, the memories always stay fresh in their mind, and the pain of regret lingers on. In essence, "Memories" is a poignant portrayal of how the passage of time can cause regret and sorrow.

The memories we shared
The recollection of the experiences we had together
Set on pages of despair
Recorded in a regretful tone
Flicking through these tattered tales I weep.
Sorrowful when looking back on these worn-out stories
But every memory goes, each time the covers close
Each recollection fades when I move on to other thoughts
Another piece of history is put to sleep.
Each memory is left to rest and forgotten over time
Awashed with guilt, can't bear to see
Overwhelmed by regret, I cannot look upon
Your smiling face staring back at me.
The image of your happy countenance reflecting back
When I didn't even say goodbye.
No words of parting ever left my lips
Once so frail and deft
In the past, you were vulnerable yet skillful
Just torn apart and left.
Now shattered and abandoned
Thrown aside to decay and die.
Discarded to wither away unattended
The memories will fade, occasionally replayed.
The recollections will dim with time but sometimes surface again
On lonely nights I wake and wonder why.
During solitary moments, I awaken with questions unanswered
It may just be once in a lifetime.
Perhaps it occurred only a single time
But I'll never forget the day that I mis-read all the signs.
However, I will always remember the day I misunderstood everything
It may just be a selfish thought of mine.
It could be simply my egotistical idea
But I'll never forget the day I didn't read the telltale signs.
Yet, I will always recall the day I failed to interpret the obvious hints

One, two, three
Straight off the plane to a new hotel
Just touched down, you could never tell
Ah, a big house party with a crowded kitchen
People talk (shh) but we don't listen
Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa
Midnight memories
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby, you and me
Stumblin' in the street
Singin', singin', singin', singin'
Midnight memories
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Anywhere we go, never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it
Five foot something with the skinny jeans
Don't look back, baby, follow me
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way
Same old sh- but a different day
Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa
Midnight memories
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby, you and me
Stumblin' in the street
Singin', singin', singin', singin'
Midnight memories
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Anywhere we go, never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it
You and me and all our friends
I don't care how much we spend
Baby, this is what the night is for
I know nothing's making sense
For tonight let's just pretend
I don't wanna stop so give me more
Midnight memories
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby, you and me (ayy)
Stumblin' in the street
Singin', singin', singin', singin'
Midnight memories
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Anywhere we go, never say no
Just do it, do it, (yeah) do it, do it
