Infinity
One Direction - [Made in the A. M.] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down to Earth
Keep on falling when I know it hurts
Going faster than a million miles an hour
Tryna catch my breath some way, somehow
Down to Earth
It's like I'm frozen but the world still turns
Stuck in motion and the wheels keep spinnin' 'round
Movin' in reverse with no way out

And now I'm one step closer to being
Two steps far from you
When everybody wants you
Everybody wants you

How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lie awake only hopin' they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Infinity
Infinity
Yeah
Infinity

Eyes can't shine
Unless there's somethin' burnin' bright behind
Since you went away, there's nothin' left in mine
I feel myself runnin' out of time

And now I'm one step closer to being
Two steps far from you
When everybody wants you
Everybody wants you

How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lie awake only hopin' they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Infinity
Infinity
Yeah
Infinity
Infinity
Infinity

How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lie awake only hopin' they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity (infinity)
Infinity (infinity)
Infinity




Yeah
Infinity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to One Direction's "Infinity" discuss the pain and struggle of a relationship that has ended, and the effort to move on and find closure. The first verse sets up the scene of the singer feeling stuck in a state of hurt, unable to move forward or escape their pain, while the chorus emphasizes the distance between the two former lovers, with the singer feeling "one step closer to being two steps far from you." The singer wonders about the passage of time, and how long it will take to heal their heart - "how many nights does it take to count the stars? That's the time it would take to fix my heart." The bridge describes the emptiness that the singer feels in the absence of their former partner, with "nothin' left in mine" and the sense of time running out. The song closes with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the infinite (and seemingly impossible) amount of time and effort it would take to heal from the hurt of the relationship.


Overall, "Infinity" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the experience of heartbreak and the desire for closure. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, as the singer tries to find a way out of their pain and move on from the relationship. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the difficulty of this task, with the singer feeling like they are chasing an impossible goal.


Line by Line Meaning

Down to Earth
Feeling grounded and realistic


Keep on falling when I know it hurts
Continuing to experience pain even when aware of its presence


Going faster than a million miles an hour
Moving quickly and wildly


Tryna catch my breath some way, somehow
Struggling to find stability or balance amidst chaos


It's like I'm frozen but the world still turns
Feeling stuck or stagnant while life carries on around you


Stuck in motion and the wheels keep spinnin' 'round
Feeling trapped in a painful cycle that never ends


Movin' in reverse with no way out
Moving backwards or repeating past mistakes without a clear solution


And now I'm one step closer to being
Moving forward despite obstacles


Two steps far from you
Feeling distant from a lost love


When everybody wants you
Seeing others desire and covet what you've lost


How many nights does it take to count the stars?
Questioning the vastness of time in the face of heartache


That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Hoping for healing but realizing it may be a long process


Oh, baby, I was there for you
Reminding their love of their presence and support


All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
Desiring honesty and authenticity


How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Longing for companionship and comfort


Lie awake only hopin' they're okay
Worrying about the well-being of someone they care for


I never counted all of mine
Ignoring their own pain and struggles in favor of others


If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Acknowledging that their pain is immense and hard to quantify or comprehend


Eyes can't shine
Unable to express joy or happiness


Unless there's somethin' burnin' bright behind
Needing a source of inspiration or motivation to overcome sadness


Since you went away, there's nothin' left in mine
Losing a sense of purpose or passion without their love


I feel myself runnin' out of time
Feeling like they need to heal soon or risk losing themselves entirely

23/07/10: The start line
Louis: Liked girls who ate carrots
Liam: Afraid of spoons
Niall: Very clearly a potato
Harry: Amazing hair guy
Zayn: Constantly wanting to know vat vas happenin
One Direction: Clearly unhappy and overworked but still kept on going because they were forced by management

13/12/15: The finish line
Louis: A happy father to Freddie and feeling happy with Eleanor (not mentioning larries or babygaters)
Liam: Producing a happy environment for his fans on discord and instagram, happy with Maya and Bear
Niall: Producing lots of new music, happy with Amelia
Harry: Amazing being a literal god ruling the world and making My Policeman
Zayn: Happy living a private life with Gigi and Khai
One Direction: Free to live the way they want to live. Guys, as much as we want them back together, can't we all agree they deserve a life and to do their own thing. I know a reunion is what we all want, but all good things must come to an end eventually anyway.
P.S I wrote that last bit on the climax so now I'm crying so badly

Down to earth
Keep 'em falling when I know it hurts
Going faster than a million miles an hour
Trying to catch my breath some way, somehow
Down to earth
It's like I'm frozen, but the world still turns
Stuck in motion, but the wheels keep spinning 'round
Moving in reverse with no way out
And now I'm one step closer to being
Two steps far from you
And everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lay awake only hoping they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Infinity, infinity, yeah
Infinity

Eyes can't shine
Unless there's something burning bright behind
Since you went away, there's nothing left in mine
I feel myself running out of time
And now I'm one step closer to being
Two steps far from you
And everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lay awake only hoping they're okay
I never counted all of mine
If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity
Infinity, infinity, yeah
Infinity
Infinity, infinity
How many nights does it take to count the stars?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart
Oh, baby, I was there for you
All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah
How many nights have you wished someone would stay?
Lay awake only hoping they're okay
I never counted all of mine
