Don't Forget Where You Belong
On direction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been a lot of places
I've been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the sun will be rising
Back home

Living out of cases,
Packing up and taking off
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know,
I know the moon will be rising
Back home

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

I've been away for ages
But I've got everything I need
I'm flicking through the pages
I've written in my memory

I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh, so I know, I know, I know,
I know that I'm never leaving
No, I won't go

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

Lights off when they should be on
Even stars and skies above
Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the days I've gone
Don't matter how far I've gone
I'll always be around oh

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
Never, never

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Home
Don't forget it
Home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Never forget it
This song
Don't forget it!
No, I never forget it




This song
You were never

Overall Meaning

on your own


The lyrics to One Direction's song "Don't Forget Where You Belong" convey the band's message to their fans to always remember where they come from, even as they go through life and experience different places and people. The song expresses the idea that no matter how far away you go or how many changes you make in your life, you should always find your way back home.


The lyrics are very relatable to many people who have moved away from their hometown, traveled the world, or lived in different cities. The song also touches on the importance of keeping memories alive, as the singer reflects on the pages he has written in his memory, and the proof of his past is in the song itself.


The chorus of the song, "Don't forget where you belong, home," serves as a reminder to the listener that their roots and where they came from is an essential part of who they are, and it should never be forgotten. The song is an uplifting anthem that encourages people to stay grounded and to never forget the place that made them who they are.


Line by Line Meaning

Been a lot of places
I have traveled to many different locations


I've been all around the world
I have traveled to many different countries on the globe


Seen a lot of faces
I have met many people during my travels


Never knowing where I was
I often found myself unfamiliar with my surroundings during travel


On the horizon
In the distance, out of reach


Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I am certain and confident


I know the sun will be rising
I am sure that the sun will rise in the sky


Back home
In my place of origin, where I belong


Living out of cases,
Traveling with luggage and bags


Packing up and taking off
Preparing to leave for another destination


Made a lot of changes
I have experienced many alterations and advancements


But not forgetting who I was
I have not lost sight of my personal identity


I feel like I'm dreaming
It seems surreal or fantastical to me


I know that I'm never leaving
I am certain that I will not permanently depart my home


Lights off when they should be on
Darkness when there should be illumination


Even stars and skies above
The celestial bodies themselves


Short days when the nights are long
The passing of time when the sun is below the horizon


When I think of the days I've gone
Reflecting on my past travels and experiences


Don't matter how far I've gone
Regardless of how distant I have traveled


I'll always be around oh
I will still exist and persist in the world


Don't forget where you belong, home
Remember your place of origin, where you are most comfortable and accepted


If you ever feel alone, don't
If you ever feel isolated or unsupported, do not give up hope


You were never on your own
You have always had friends, family, or others to support you


And the proof is in this song
This song serves as a testament to the support and comfort that can be found in one's home and loved ones


Home
The place of origin, familiarity, and comfort


Never forget it
Always remember your roots and background


This song
The lyrics and melody of this particular piece of music


No, I never forget it
I always remember the importance of my home and loved ones

LYRICS:

Been a lot of places
I've been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was

On the horizon
Mmh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the sun will be rising
Back home

Living out of cases
Packing up and taking off
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the moon will be rising
Back home

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

I've been away for ages
But I've got everything I need
I'm flicking through the pages
I've written in my memory

I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh, so I know, I know, I know
I know that I'm never leaving
No, I won't go

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

Lights off when they should be on
Even stars in the skies, they're wrong
Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the days I've gone
Don't matter how far I've gone
I'm always free to run home

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
Never, never, never

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Home
Don't forget it
Home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Never forget it
This song
Don't forget it
No, I never forget it
This song
You were never

ATTENTION CALLING ALL DIRECTIONERS


As you all know, the 11 year anniversary is coming up on the 23rd of next July. But we have some projects we must complete before then. Those targets are as follows;


1) Even though songs like More than this, best song ever, etc, have hundreds of millions of views, it's still not what they deserve. We have decided to stream the song on July 22nd, the day before the 11 year anniversary to get the song to charts. Maybe we have to start streaming a little bit beforehand, but still. We need to stream the song on every possible platform; YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon music etc.

If this is the same group of people who sold FNB stadium within a minute, then why can't we do this?


2) This was planned a year ago, but this time we can easily do this. The second project is to stream drag me down, which as we can see is so close to 1 billion views, but, story of my life isn't, so we will stream story of my life on July 18th (The last Sunday before the anniversary) and make the masterpiece number 1 on that day.

I think none of the above are difficult tasks, but that's only if we spread the words. So kindly spread the words.


Copy and paste this, guys, believe me we can do it! I know we kinda planned it last time and fell short, but we can do it if we try harder!
