One direction story of my life meaning

This is a very beautiful song, I did literature at school so I'll try my best to explain the meaning, here goes:. It starts of with the line "written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain":- Figuratively, he built a wall to protect his emotions but it wasn't just there because he wanted to guard himself it was because of a past relationship that went wrong.

In the relationship before, he "left his heart open":-He confessed his love but now "it stays right here empty for days":-It's hollow since she left. And that hurt was one of the reasons he is restrained now. Is frozen":- This is the current relationship and how he shows he cares but it reminds him of his past love hence "time is frozen".

It's also an example of a pun, being he keeps her "warm" but time is "frozen". This also a play on words with spending love till she's broke.

Story of my life meaning genius

So it's a nice example of symbolism. I think this might be a stretch. Isn't much simplier to believe that he's committing suicide? He was an obsessive lover, who was overly attached until she couldn't be with him anymore, broke up with him, and then writes a suicide note that's the "story of his life" that they hope will be on his tombstone.
