Malik Exits One Direction (March 2015)
On March 25th, 2015, Zayn Malik announced he was to leave the band. Commenting on his exit from the band, he said "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band".
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."
What A Feeling
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm watching her dance, dress is catching the light
In her eyes there's no lies, no lies
There's no question, she's not in a disguise
With no way out and a long way down
Everybody needs someone around
But I can't hold you, too close now
What a feeling to be right here beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out and we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow
I wish I could be there now
Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire
I'm watching you like this, imagining you're mine
It's too late, it's too late, am I too late?
Tell me now, am I running out of time?
With no way out and a long way down
Everybody needs someone around
But I can't hold you too close now
Through the wire, through the wire
What a feeling to be right here beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out and we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow
I wish I could be there now
Whatever chains are holding you back
Holding you back, don't let 'em tie you down
Whatever chains are holding you back
Holding you back, tell me you believe in that
What a feeling to be right here beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out and we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow
I wish I could be there now
I wish I could be there now
The lyrics to "What a Feeling" by One Direction from their album "Made in the A.M." is a love song that describes the lead singer's intense feelings for a girl he desires deeply. The song uses metaphoric language to describe their connection and how the world melts away when they're together. The imagery portrays that the singer is enamored with the girl, and he feels like royalty when he is beside her.
The opening lines, "Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire," feel like the singer is entranced and hypnotized by the girl's movements. He watches her dance and feels like he is lost in her. The line, "With no way out and a long way down, everybody needs someone around, but I can't hold you too close now," captures the tension between them. Even though he desires her, he knows that he cannot get too close, indicating that there may be barriers in their relationship.
The chorus uses vivid sensory language to convey his intense feelings for her. It describes the feeling of holding her in his arms and how they both ran wild despite the world falling apart. The line, "Whatever chains are holding you back, holding you back, don't let 'em tie you down," is a call to action, urging the girl to overcome any obstacles and not let anything hold her back.

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 couldn't we be able to do this?
2) This was planned a year ago, but this time we could 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

Dear One Direction,
We are never going to give you up
We are never going to let you down
We are never gonna run around and desert you
We are never going to make you cry
We are never going to say goodbye
We are never going to tell a lie and hurt you
We've stuck with you for the 5 years you were a band and still stick with you 5 years later. We love you, and always will.

@Tatiana Quijano Ikr? It just annoys me so much when they say that
Them and the stupid people: "former One Direction member" or like "broke up" it's like
Me: NO... You didn't get your facts right. They are still a band, except they are on a hiatus and just in case you people don't know what hiatus means since you got your facts wrong. Honey, hiatus means a rest.
Them: but they aren't together anymore
Me: (shakes my head) You don't understand. Hiatus means that they went on a rest for the time being, which also means that they don't literally see each other every single day.
Them: But...
Me: I don't want to hear about it okay? You're the one with the wrong facts so either get your facts right or LEAVE
