One Direction's DARKEST Songs

[@Fierra2000]

I forgot to mention ‘False Starts’ on Zayn’s 4th album. I was gonna add it as an honorable mention because I wasn’t sure if it was sad or dark. The lyrics scared me. The story sounds like he’s driving and having deep thoughts, hoping he doesn’t crash… “Fast car, fast heart, trouble in my brain. Big dreams, false starts and I know I've changed. Don't want the things we can't have. Watchin' my life just roll past. Old rooms, new paint, still it looks the same. Sad thoughts, bad luck, with no one to blame. They say the trouble don't last Sometimes the pain makes me laugh There's no morе time, gotta get my way. What do you want? We don't havе to stay. *Trust me you're not gonna crash* They say that trouble don't last.”

I think it's a matter of perception. For me personally already from the title it's one of the scariest things and I go to it when I'm lost or gave up on something. And I didn't even fully analyze it. Pieces that I picked on were enough. As mentioned, you left out Diana. And unfortunately there is more I would add

[@HarrysIrishPrincess]

Diana by One Direction has a pretty dark meaning too. Apparently a girl named Diana sent Niall a letter or text saying that she was depressed and didn't want to live anymore. This is why the boys wrote their song, Diana. They tried to contact her, and even went to her house to check up on her and make sure she was okay, but by the time they got there, they learned that she had already taken her own life.

Seriously 😳 ??

@@HarrysIrishPrincess OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THIS 😣 I remember in 8th grade an old friend of mine was harming herself and cried when we first heard Diana and Through The Dark.

I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT ABOUT "MOMENETS"!!!!😭😭😭 I'm litterally crying.💔 SAME WITH "SIGN OF THE TIMES"!!😭

I heard someone saying ' hey angel ' is also about those people who couldn't handle it

[@EntertainmentCheese2022]

I had a feeling SOTT and WHYD would make it to this list, but I didn't expect Louis to have a song about supposedly overcoming suicidal thoughts... It genuinely scared me as I read that, as Louis has always been my favourite member of 1D since I started listening to them in 2013, but also because I contemplated suicide in 2018 because I didn't think my life was going anywhere and felt worthless, I felt depleted during musical theatre rehearsals, and the sadder part is I couldn't tell you why I thought it...

[@lambodhar]

WHYD?

[@shorougaljudaibi7719]

What have you done unreleased song by Liam Payne and it's in the video.​@@lambodhar

[@FaiaHalo]

Thank you so much for highlighting SOTT! ❤ It's one of my favorite songs by Harry, alongside Matilda (which I also deeply relate to). But listening to the boys' songs and how much the band and the demands of the system took a toll on them, it just breaks my heart.

[@Fierra2000]

@@FaiaHalo SOTT was the first song I thought of before putting this together! I think it’s the most unique among this list. There’s no other storyline like it in their catalogs. And yeah, it’s really hard for me to think about what the boys went thru. We were all so young and innocent in the beginning. I can’t image how many dark songs the boys have in their songbooks that have never seen the day of light, like What Have You Done.

[@walkrwalkr3622]

After Liam’s death and knowing his struggles as well … I guess I appreciate ‘Good Years’ all the more. I just think this might be darker than SOTT because it’s more personal about their own experience than someone else’s.

[@RaniaBhatti]

it’s from Zayn about One Direction

[@HaileyTomlinson28]

Meltdown by Niall is about anxiety Niall confirmed it when talking about the show And he said that meltdown was supposed to be like this slow track, but then they mixed it up because he wanted it to be a poppy song So he changed the melody to be poppy to cover up what it was about But he said that he was about having anxiety and you know having a meltdown

[@amandamadaci7797]

This is so fu**ed up and insightful. Thank you for the amazing work. I knew only about half of these songs

[@lindagreensatsango9140]

[@MadisonBlair-o5j]

Moments is really dark and sad

[@madgepereira2891]

Perfect is sadly a dark song because it had connections with Liam's death. One line of the song and the release date.

[@jilldickson8053]

It was write in 2015, had nothing to do with his death

[@minthat1020]

For me whitout Liam no more one direction 💔💔 rest in peace my dear brother Payno 🌹

Good that you don't include any of Niall song cuz everyone knows Niall won't write a bad meaning song

Weekend is really darker to me just my opinion

[@dawnrobertson5499]

Your content is misleading! You are not telling the truth about these songs! You've made them morbid! They are not about suicide or hanging themselves. I hope no one believes this bull rap your spreading!

[@Fierra2000]

@@dawnrobertson5499 Ed Sheeran wrote Moments and revealed it was about a guy committing suicide after losing his partner. We talked about it a lot back then…

[@PetiteFashionista]

You can look up the meaning of moments it literally mentions that the boy ends his life because his lover died
