Brandi Carlile: The Story Meaning
The Story Lyrics
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to

The reason this song resonates broadly among many people is that the “you” in the song can be a single person or many people. I relate more strongly to the latter, particularly, within the context of a writer or performer.
Whatever one’s life’s work, each person has their story. Each person feels misunderstood at times (“they don’t know who I really am”). Each person longs for a person or people who listen, seek to understand & validate that they are not alone (“you do. I was meant for you”. -
This song could be about a relationship but I like to think that she is singing about a friend, a best friend to be exact. "they dont know who i really am and they dont know what i've been through, like you do" To me, that has to be your best friend, because thats who you reveal everything to! " i was made for you" simply means, through all my faults, you still love me and accept me so you "got" me, and you have my loyalty always. I mean, she states that fact when she writes that she climbed a nMountain top and swam the ocean blue for this person. Devotion ! Simply put.
