A Thousand Years
Mix Factor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years




I'll love you for a
Thousand more

Overall Meaning

Mix Factor’s song “A Thousand Years” is a love ballad that reflects the rollercoaster of emotions that come with the uncertainty of falling in love. The artist describes the heart beating fast and the colors and promises of a new relationship, but also expresses the fear of loving someone and the possibility of falling. However, all of these doubts suddenly disappear when the artist watches the other person and sees them standing strong and resolute, which encourages them to take one step closer towards the other person.


The artist goes on to say that they have figuratively “died every day” waiting for their loved one to arrive, but implores them not to be afraid. They have loved the other person for a thousand years and vow to continue loving them for a thousand more. For the artist, time stands still when they are with their loved one, and they will remain brave and not let anything come between them.

Every couple of years I remember this performance and it just brings me back to this time in my childhood where I was so excited to be a fan of these girls and seeing them grow. I wish the industry was kinder to them and they could’ve have reached their full potential. I can only hope that they are happy these days as solo artists. I know people like to say how they were never that great of a group or that they didn’t even like each other but to those of us who were there every step of the way we know that wasn’t always the case. Or at least it didn’t feel that way. Anyways that’s enough nostalgia from me. ❤️‍🔥

This made me cry, I agree🥺

Oh wow it's so beautiful when both Lauren and Camila sing "one step closer". I've spent a good 5 minutes going from 0:35 - 1:18 juat to hear the difference in how they sing it. Camila's is soft and it sounds magical but Lauren's sounds strong and wow I love both.

alana.

1:19 a voz dessa mulher meus amigos, eu amo dms essas mulheres
