Story of My Life
On direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning
She don't feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die
These words will be written on my stone
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
Written on these walls are
The colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now
I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life, I'll take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
And I've been waiting for this time to come around
But, baby, running after you is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life, I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she's broken inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The lyrics of One Direction's "Story of My Life" paint a somber picture of an individual who feels trapped, filled with regret and despair. The first verse introduces the metaphor of a person's life being written on the walls of a room, the stories that they cannot explain. They leave their heart open, empty and desolate as they wait for something to fill the void in their life. The second verse then moves beyond the metaphor to describe a relationship that has come to an end, the person's lover tells them in the morning that they no longer feel the same about them. The lyrics express the fear that when the person dies, they will be remembered as someone who held on too tightly, unable to let go of what was not meant to be.
The chorus then introduces the metaphor of the person's life as a story, one that they are compelled to tell regardless of how painful it may be. The story starts with the search for home, a place where they can rest and be truly themselves. They drive all night to keep their lover warm, but time stands still, and their love seems to have broken them from the inside out. The second verse comes back to the walls that the individual can't change, despite their desire to be free from their cage. They still hold onto hope, even though their heart is broken, and they cannot fully let go.
The bridge expresses the desire to find closure, to stop running after someone who is out of reach. But ultimately, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the individual telling the story of their life, despite the pain it may bring, and the hope that their love will one day bring them back home.

She revealed to me early in the day that her instincts do not signify the same feelings she had for us.
It seems to me that when I die, these words will be written on my stone
I have a gut feeling that these words will be my legacy even after my death.
And I'll be gone, gone tonight, the ground beneath my feet is open wide
Tonight I will leave, and it feels like the earth is ready to consume me.

Whenever I wake up now, I have a vision of us standing on a hill bathed in sunlight, and despite being damaged, my heart remains uncontrolled.
And I've been waiting for this time to come around, but baby, running after you is like chasing the clouds
I have been anticipating this moment, but trying to pursue you is akin to pursuing the intangible clouds.

ME!!!
Anyways here’s a recipe for chocolate chip cookies
Ingredients:
(for 12 cookies)
* ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
* ¾ cup brown sugar (165 g), packed
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ cup unsalted butter (115 g), melted
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (155 g)
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* 4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks (110 g)
* 4 oz dark chocolate chunk (110 g), or your preference
Directions:
1: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
2: Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
3: Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
4: Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
5: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6: Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
7: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
8: Cool completely before serving.
ENJOY 😊❤️
