WALKinG IN thE wind
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Do you believe I'll never be too far"
If you're lost, just look for me
You'll find me in the region of the summer stars
The fact that we can sit right here and say goodbye
Means we've already won
A necessity for apologies between you and me
Baby, there is none
Awh, e had some good times, didn't we?
Awh, we had some good tricks up our sleeve
Awh, goodbyes are bittersweet
But it's not the end
I'll see your face again
You will find me
And you will find me
In places that we've never been
For reasons we don't understand
Walking in the wind
Walking in the wind
Yesterday I went out to celebrate the birthday of a friend
But as we raised our glasses up to make a toast
I realized you were missing
Awh, we had some good times, didn't we?
Awh, we wore our hearts out on our sleeve
Awh, goodbyes are bittersweet
But it's not the end
I'll see your face again
You will find me
And you will find me
In places that we've never been
For reasons we don't understand
Walking in the wind
Walking in the wind
I know I'll be your anchor
Just close your eyes and see
I'll be by your side
Any time you're needing me, oh yeah
You will find me
And you will find me
In places that we've never been
For reasons we don't understand
Walking in the wind
Walking in the wind
Walking in the wind
The lyrics of "Walking in the Wind" by One Direction can be interpreted as a message of comfort and reassurance between two people who are parting ways. The song opens with a conversation between the two, where one of them asks if the other believes that they'll never be too far away from each other. The response is that they can always be found in the region of the summer stars. This suggests that their bond is strong enough to overcome distance and they will always be connected no matter where they are.
The song seems to be addressing the experience of growing up and drifting apart, as well as the challenge of letting go of the people who have been important to us. It acknowledges that goodbyes are bittersweet, but it's not the end. The lyrics suggest that the joy of the past is worth celebrating, but it's important not to hold onto it too tightly. Instead, it may be better to look for new experiences and people in places that have not yet been explored.
The chorus repeats the theme of finding each other in unpredictable places and reasons that are currently unknown. Regardless of where their lives may take them, the singer offers to be an anchor for the other person who can be called upon whenever they are needed.
Overall, the song represents the beauty of relationships and the importance of always remembering the positive memories, despite any challenges that may arise.
