There is one song that stands out, one song that I actually appreciate. It's called Moments. It inspired me for my English story, Voicemails. It gave me an insight on how it was like to commit suicide and the reason why the guy pushed himself off the building.
So I'm going to show you how I interpret the lyrics of the song. This is 100% my opinion so don't take it too personally if it offends anyone or something.
"Moments"
[Liam]
Shut the door
Turn the light off (This maybe talking about the last time the guy leaves his home.)
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this
Even though I try
Heart beats harder
Time escapes me (He's running out of time to say good-bye.)
Trembling hands
Touch skin
It makes this hard girl
And the tears stream down my face (He knows what he's going to do. He doesn't want to but he has no choice.)
[Harry]
If we could only have this life (If only he could love her, if only he had a chance, it wouldn't end this way. They could've been happy. They could've had a happily ever after.)
For one more day
If we could only turn back time
[All]
You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be
My love
My heart
Is breathing for this
Moment
In time
I’ll find the words to say
Before you leave me today (He doesn't think he is leaving the world, it's more like he's moving on to a better environment and his girl is leaving him for hell.)
[Niall]
Close the door
Throw the key (He knows there's no going back, he's not going to regret this. He throws away the key so he won't be tempted to open the door and return.)
Don’t wanna be reminded
Don’t wanna be seen (He's not proud of this but...there are things in life that you have to face, no matter what.)
Don’t wanna be without you
My judgment's clouded
Like tonight's sky (He's on top of a building now. He can see the sky.)
[Louis]
Hums are silent
Voice is numb
Try to scream out my lungs (The sadness is overwhelming, reality is hitting him like a meteorite. The pain is too much that he can't even scream.)
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face
[Harry]
If we could only have this life
For one more day
If we could only turn back time
[All]
You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be
My love
My heart
Is breathing for this
Moment
In time
I’ll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
[Zayn]
Flashing lights in my mind
Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet (He replays his whole life in his head. He wishes he could go back.)
There’s a numb in my toes
Standing close to the edge (He's at the edge of the building now, he's going to jump. He can barely feel anything because in order to do this, he has to shut down all emotions. No ties, no worries. It's cruel, against human nature. It hurts.)
There’s a pile of my clothes
At the end of your bed (He remembers the time with her. He knows it will never happen anymore.)
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all (He's gone.)
[All]
You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be
My love
My heart
Is breathing for this
Moment
In time
I’ll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be
My love

And that is pretty much how I see the lyrics of 'Moment'. It's depressing, I know but...these things happen. Some people are destined to fall in love but it never happens. They're star-crossed. They're hurt. And it's gone, slipping through their fingers and they can't even stop it.
Life isn't fair, is it?
FYI, I can't sing love songs. I can sing hymns, break-ups, happy little tunes like Mary Had a Little Lamb but I can't sing songs about being in love like 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. I'll sing the first few lines and then I won't be able to continue, no matter how hard I try. I guess there's a scar, you know. I can't sing for something that hurt me for six years straight. I know, I'm full of psychological disorders.
I think that's why I love writing about James and Lily so much. They have everything I've ever wanted. When I write, I can sort of feel the happiness of being in love, being loved by someone other than your family. It's a substitute for something I never had. And I doubt I ever will.
(I think I just gave up on the idea of being in love. Is this normal?)
