A Band Break-(up?) from March 2016
On Aug 23, 2015, The Sun newspaper in the UK reported that the band would "take a break" from March 2016, after they finish promoting their fifth studio album Made in the A.M.. A source said, "The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boy band. They fully deserve to have at least a year to work on their own projects. There is absolutely no bad blood between them and they are all 100% behind the decision. It is definitely not a split and they fully intend to get back together at some time in the future."
Same Mistakes
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dizzy's all it makes us
We know where it takes us
We've been before
Closer, maybe looking closer
There's more to discover
Find out what went wrong without blaming each other
When we're falling behind
Gotta make up our minds
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we'll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes
Wake up, we both need to wake up
Maybe if we face up to this
We can make it through this
Closer, maybe we'll be closer
Stronger than we were before, yeah
Make this something more, yeah
Think that we got more time
When we're falling behind
Gotta make up our minds
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we'll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes
Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
While you're making all the same mistakes
Don't look back
But if we don't look back
We're only learning then
How to make all the same, same mistakes again
So we play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
And we take, take, take it for granted that we'll be the same
But we're making all the same mistakes
Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
While you're making all the same mistakes
In the song โSame Mistakesโ by One Direction, the lyrics describe a repeating cycle the singer and their partner are trapped in. They keep making the same mistakes over and over again, leading them in circles and causing them to feel dizzy. However, they recognize their pattern and know where these mistakes will ultimately take them. The lyrics suggest that they need to look deeper to discover what went wrong without blaming each other, and face the problems together to make it through. The songโs chorus repeats the idea that they must make up their minds and decide how they will move forward, or else they will just continue to play the same old games and make the same mistakes.
The songโs second verse suggests that their relationship has potential to grow if they can work together and get closer. They used to be strong, but the repeating cycle has worn them down. If they face their challenges, however, they have the chance to be even stronger than before. The bridge emphasizes the futility of denying problems and hoping they will fix themselves. They must be acknowledged and dealt with head-on, or they will just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
Line by Line Meaning
Circles, we're going in circles
We keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again
Dizzy's all it makes us
It's disorienting and confusing
We know where it takes us
We know the outcome of our actions, but keep doing them anyway
We've been before
We've experienced this cycle of mistakes multiple times
Closer, maybe looking closer
If we examine our situation more closely, we may find the root of the problem
There's more to discover
There are underlying issues that we haven't yet acknowledged
Find out what went wrong without blaming each other
Instead of pointing fingers, we need to take responsibility for our own mistakes
Think that we got more time
We believe that we have endless opportunities to fix our mistakes
When we're falling behind
When we're not making progress
Gotta make up our minds
We need to make a decision and commit to it
Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games
Otherwise, we'll keep repeating the same mistakes
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
We hope that things will magically get better on their own
And we take, take, take it for granted that we'll be the same
We assume that we won't change unless we actively work towards it
But we're making all the same mistakes
Despite our best intentions, we keep repeating our past mistakes
Wake up, we both need to wake up
We need to snap out of our current mentality and take action
Maybe if we face up to this
If we confront our issues head on
We can make it through this
We can overcome our current problems together
Stronger than we were before, yeah
Our struggles and mistakes can make us stronger
Make this something more, yeah
We need to elevate our relationship and situation to something more meaningful
Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
Continuing to make the same mistakes and hoping for different results is insanity
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix
Ignoring obvious problems won't make them go away
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
Hoping for a miracle fix instead of taking action
While you're making all the same mistakes
Continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results
Don't look back
We shouldn't dwell on past failures and mistakes
But if we don't look back
But if we ignore what went wrong in the past
We're only learning then
We won't learn from our past mistakes
How to make all the same, same mistakes again
And we'll inevitably repeat our past mistakes
Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is
Continuing to make the same mistakes and expecting different results is insanity
When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix
Ignoring obvious problems won't make them go away
And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay
Hoping for a miracle fix instead of taking action
While you're making all the same mistakes
Continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results

We'll never forget that Lou likes girls who eat carrots.
We'll never forget that Niall wants to go with Barbie to a party.
We'll never forget Kevin.
We'll never forget "Excuse me Liam".
We'll never forget "oiioii".
We'll never forget "potato".
We'll never forget "I'm a song" and "HAHAHA.
We'll never forget "Larry".
We will never forget "My first real crush was Louis Tomlinson".
We will never forget OneDirection

@rachealratliff6034
I forgot how much happier I was when one direction was actively posting.
@griff6413
@LamtzFN They probably have a team posting for them. ๐ It's like Michael Jackson's channel... It's definitely not him posting
@ninosagarino9241
You said it
@TheMamanhaque
Right on point ;)
@flowersandwalls
I didn't know them when they were together....
So i never show them live or just be happy they make a new album ...
That is how much you can love a band still be there or be there when they're not posting ...
WE ARE TRUE DIRECTIONERS
