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 heartfelt plea to a girl named Diana, who the singer has never met, but has fallen in love with through her pictures on the front pages of magazines. The singer promises to be the one to light the fire inside her; to lift up her heart and save her life. He acknowledges that he speaks a different language, but he still hears her call, and wants to break down the walls that have made her lonely. The singer sees Diana as someone who has fallen down so far, and who has been misled. He wants to be the one to reach out for her, to hold her, and never put her down.


The song is a beautiful interpretation of how a person can fall in love with someone they have never met, illustrating the power of celebrity and the impact it can have on someone's life. It also shows how music can connect people, despite differences in language or geography, and how it can be a healing force for those who are struggling.
