Diana

The front pages are your pictures
They make you look so smart
How could someone not miss you at all? (Oh-ah-oh)

I never would mistreat ya
I'm not a criminal
I speak a different language but I still hear your call

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

Diana, it's only been four months but
You've fallen down so far
How could someone mislead you at all? (Oh ah oh)

I wanna reach out for you
I wanna break these walls
I speak a different language but I still hear you call

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

We all need something
This can't be over now
If I could hold ya
Swear I'd never put you down

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

(Oh ah oh) Diana
(Oh ah oh oh oh oh oh oh) Diana, baby you'd be saving mine




(Oh ah oh) Diana
(Oh ah oh oh oh oh oh oh) Diana, baby you'd be saving mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Diana" by One Direction is a touching love song about a boy who sees a girl struggling with loneliness and wants to be the one to save her. He sings about how the media portrays her, but he sees something deeper and wants to make a connection with her. He tells her that he hears her cries, even though they speak different languages, and he wants to be the one to lift her up and save her life. The song conveys a message of hope and love, and it is clear that the boy singing is genuine and caring.


The lyrics of "Diana" are simple but effective. The repetitive chorus reinforces the message that the singer wants to be there for the girl and save her, while the verses provide a bit more detail about their situation. The verses also show that the girl is not just an image in the media but a real person with real feelings. The lines "You've been lonely, you don't even know me, But I can feel you crying" are particularly poignant, as they highlight the desperation and sadness that the girl is feeling.
