Hi, I was wondering if there was any evidence that the one direction song Infinity is about Taylor swift? I saw a few people who think that it is and I want to know if there is any evidence to the theory. Thanks love your blog
Hi, Iāll be glad to answer this one.
So, I was going through the lyrics, and a few other songs to compare⦠Personally, I am gonna say no, only because the song was written not by any of the boys themselves, therefore, none of their actual experiences are most likely incorporated in the song. I believe itās one of those songs they are given and told to sing it.
But, there are some lyrics that stand out a lot.Ā āSince you went away, thereās nothing left in mine.ā - From this lyric, weāre being told their upset because their lover went away, now theĀ ālightā has died in his eyes. If you remember, that lyric is the exact same lyric as found inĀ āFrom the Dining Tableā which Harry tells us the listeners that Taylor went away. But, that lyric was referring to them no longer speaking inĀ āFrom the Dining Table.ā But, the lyricĀ āSince you went away / thereās nothing left in mine.ā Is completely different in meaning, as heās not referring to communication issues in this song. But rather the overall heartbreak feeling, you know, when you go through a heart break and you use to be upbeat and happy? And your eyes just light up? When you breakup with someone, that tends to all go away.
Then thereās another lyric that caught my eye;Ā āAnd now Iām one step closer to being / Two steps far from you/And everybody wants you / Everybody wants you.ā While this is true, Iām sure everyone wants Taylor, you canāt really pin-point it to be about her, because, Iām sure if it was about Taylor, it would be written that she was taken with a new man (like in Woman/From The Dining Table), but, instead itās just a regular general heart break lyrical statement, kind of like;Ā āSteal My Girl.ā
Finally there are these lyrics that sort of link up to Olivia; āAnd time is irrelevant when Iāve not been seeing you / The consequences of falling out.ā Which is very similar to;Ā āDown to Earth / Itās like Iām frozen, but the world still turns / Stuck in motion, and the wheels keep spinning āround /Moving in reverse with no way out.ā But ⦠Hereās the thing, when he is talking about the world turning still. What he means by that is, the world is still theĀ āsameā (kind of like, to put it this way, when someone dies, the world stillĀ āturnsā and nobody stops for you.. The buses keep running, people keep going to work, people still make their dinner. Etc) But for that one person they loss, itās a horrible feeling, because it feels like everything comes in a completeĀ āstopā for them. This lyric also simply means, being without them feels like forever.. But the moving inĀ āreverseā is him saying everything is going wrong.Ā
Therefore, I donāt think it has any relation to Taylor. I think itās just an incredibly sad heart break song (seriously, I adore this song.) But, I think for all the boys, itās something they could always relate to if they were ever to play, despite not specifically being about anyone, but the lyrics would be something they could easily relate to ⦠More specifically, Harry.
Also, keep in mind, when Harry writes songs for Taylor, theyāre very specific with references (which is what Taylor does.) āOliviaā is a good one for example. From the title itās self, heās referring to her cat, Olivia, which links to Taylor. Even obvious oneās like his t-shirt, or theĀ āday we were giving upā (Out of the Woods) reference.Ā āStain of Red Wineā (Clean.) The butterflies ⦠AnotherĀ āCleanā reference.Ā āYou told me I didnāt give you enoughā - I Wish You Would.Ā āI Love Youā lyric is referring to his song he gave Alex & Sierra. From all the songs Harry/Taylor have written for each other, there is nothing to do with truth, as they both are very well-aware of them loving each other. So, definitely not for Taylor.
WhileĀ āInfinityā doesnāt have specific references, theyāre more so just general heart break lyrics.
I hope that helps :)
