How the Story Ends
Rie Sinclair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He said, it's crowded
Her fear is him giving up
His fear is finding enough
How the story ends is how it all began, some say
Does it really matter
With a heart still continuing, holding tightly
And never what you thought it would be
She said, does it end?
He said, it can't begin
Her fear is he'll walk away
His heart is so damn afraid
How the story ends is how it all began, some say
Does it really matter
With a heart (heart) still continuing, holding tightly
(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh)
It's never simple, never easy
And never what you thought it would be
Do you hope to be found
Only to get lost again
And bound up as lovers can
Or are you alone and guarded
Knowing the road will leave you stuck
With nowhere to run
When it all comes crashing in
How the story ends (story ends) is how it all began, some say
Does it really matter
With a heart (heart) still continuing, holding tightly
(Ooh, oh, ooh, oh)
It's never simple, never easy
And never what you thought it would be
Yeah oh
It's never simple, never easy
And never what you thought it would be
The lyrics of Rie Sinclair's song "How The Story Ends" capture the uncertainties and fears of love. The opening lines suggest that the two lovers are struggling to connect - one person can't get in, while the other finds it crowded. It's as if they are navigating a figurative and literal space that's insurmountable. The next set of lines reveals their fears. The woman is afraid of the man giving up, while he's scared of finding enough. It's a poignant moment that suggests the difference in their perspectives on their relationship. The line "How the story ends is how it all began, some say" ties in with these fears. It implies that their story won't have a happy ending, no matter what they do. However, the chorus repeats that with a heart still continuing and holding tightly, perhaps love can overcome these fears.
The second verse amplifies this theme. The woman asks if their story ends, while the man says that it can't begin. It's as if they're trapped in the middle ground of their emotions, unable to move forward or backward. The fears are still present - the woman is afraid of abandonment, while the man knows that committing could lead to heartbreak. The middle section poses an existential question about the nature of relationships - are we better off being alone or risking our hearts to be found only to get lost again? The final verse repeats the opening line about how the story ends, suggesting that this is the question that's at the heart of their fears.
