History
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep gettin' the feeling you wanna leave this all behind
Thought we were goin' strong, I thought we were holdin' on
Aren't we?
No, they don't teach you this in school
Now my heart's breakin' and I don't know what to do
Thought we were goin' strong, thought we were holdin' on
Aren't we?
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
So don't let it go, we can make some more
We can live forever
All of the rumors, all of the fights
But we always find a way to make it out alive
Thought we were goin' strong, thought we were holdin' on
Aren't we?
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
So don't let it go, we can make some more
We can live forever
Minibars, expensive cars
Hotel rooms and new tattoos
The good champagne, and private planes
But they don't mean anything
'Cause the truth is out, I realize
That without you here, life is just a lie
This is not the end, this is not the end
We can make it, you know it, you know
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
So don't let it go, we can make some more
We can live forever
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
So don't let it go, we can make some more
We can live forever
So don't let me go, so don't let me go
We can live forever
Baby, don't you know, baby, don't you know
We can live forever
The song "History" by One Direction reflects on the memories and experiences shared by the band and its fans. The opening lines convey a sense of desperation for the love and companionship of a significant other. The singer feels as though their relationship is on the brink of ending and is struggling to keep it together. Despite the struggles, the chorus reminds the listener of the shared bond and history between the involved parties. They both have a lot of experiences and memories that might never be replicated. The singer is hopeful that their history and bond can help them overcome the imminent breakup of their relationship.
As the song continues, it is evident that the relationship has been through various trials, but they have managed to overcome it all. They have persisted through all the rumors they might have heard about each other or the fights they might have had. The lyrics suggest that the love between them is strong enough to overcome all obstacles. In the final lines, the singer acknowledges that the expensive material possessions that they both share are not as important as the relationship they have. Without the bond and the person they shared it with, all of those things would be meaningless.
Line by Line Meaning
You gotta help me, I'm losin' my mind
I need your assistance, my mental state is deteriorating
Keep gettin' the feeling you wanna leave this all behind
I constantly perceive that you desire to abandon our relationship
Thought we were goin' strong, I thought we were holdin' on
I believed our love was enduring and steadfast
Aren't we?
Don't we still have that connection?
No, they don't teach you this in school
Academia doesn't prepare you for heartbreak
Now my heart's breakin' and I don't know what to do
I am devastated and clueless about how to cope
You and me got a whole lot of history (oh)
Our romantic partnership has an extensive past
We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen
Together, we have the potential to achieve unprecedented greatness
So don't let it go, we can make some more
Don't give up on us, we can create additional memories
We can live forever
Our legacy can endure perpetually
All of the rumors, all of the fights
Despite the gossip and arguments we've experienced
But we always find a way to make it out alive
We consistently overcome these obstacles and emerge unscathed
Minibars, expensive cars
We've indulged in luxurious amenities
Hotel rooms and new tattoos
We've spent nights in lavish lodgings and adorned permanent ink
The good champagne, and private planes
We've enjoyed first-class bubbly and flown on exclusive aircraft
But they don't mean anything
These material possessions are meaningless without you
'Cause the truth is out, I realize
Since the facts have surfaced, I have come to understand
That without you here, life is just a lie
My existence lacks authenticity without you present
This is not the end, this is not the end
Our romance isn't over, it's not over
We can make it, you know it, you know
We are capable of maintaining our love, you understand
So don't let me go, so don't let me go
Please, don't abandon me
Baby, don't you know, baby, don't you know
Sweetheart, aren't you aware
We can live forever
Our love can exist eternally

@@jayjay5202 Harry has stated in an interview that he is about to tour ( just before the COVID-19 )
But it is posponed as the hiatus will take more time.
Recently Louis concert was also posponed in Dubai due to this virus.
As of now if you are a true directioner you can tell that they are happy being solo artists.
And every time you will had noticed that whenever there is a question of when will hiatus will end ?
They all are like it will happen but don't know when ( even once Liam got so frustrated that he wrote on Twitter that i am just tired of giving answers about the hiatus.There are also other members in the band go ask them. )
So basically they don't want the fans to broke even more so they don't actually answer the question.
And Liam also have said in an interview that being solo is more enjoyable as it gives much opportunities and self control on your own album.
I know all these things are bad but it is.
I also want a reunion though.
