Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, baby
I feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I
I turned around
Oh, baby
I know this for sure
I'm walking
Out that door
Well, I've been in town
For just about fifteen
Ehole minutes now
Oh, baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walking for miles
But the people
They don't understand
No, girlfriends
They can't understand
Your grandsons
They won't understand
On top of this
I ain't ever
Gonna understand
Last night she said
Oh, baby
Don't feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby
I'm gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
Cuz I left that night
Yeah
Oh, people
They don't understand
No, girlfriends
They don't understand
In spaceships
They won't understand
And me
I ain't ever
Gonna understand
Last night she said
Oh, baby
I feel so down
She had turned me off
When I feel left out
So I
I turned around
Oh, little girl
I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking
Out that door, yeah
In Adele's song "Last Nite," the lyrics tell the story of a woman who is feeling down and is considering leaving her partner. The woman expresses her feelings of being left out, and her partner tries to reassure her that everything will be alright. However, in the end, she decides to leave and walk out the door. At the beginning of the song, the woman tells her partner that she feels down and that he has turned her off. She feels left out and decides to turn around and leave. She no longer cares about the situation and knows for sure that she is leaving.
As the song progresses, the woman tries to understand why she feels the way she does. She has only been in town for 15 minutes and already feels down. She keeps walking for miles, but nobody seems to understand her feelings. Her girlfriends, grandsons, and even people in spaceships won't be able to understand what she's going through. Despite all of this, she decides to leave because she is tired of feeling left out and saddened by the relationship.
The song is about being honest with yourself and knowing when to walk away from situations that no longer serve you. In the end, the woman realizes that she is better off without her partner and takes control of her own life. Through her honest expression of emotions and ultimate decision to leave, the woman becomes empowered and able to move on with her life.

Wow! Que descubrimiento Adele cantando Rock.
Eduardo Orellana
Hizo hasta un cover de The Raconteurs, de la canción Many Shades Of Black.

Lovely! Adele could 'cover' any song out there today and make it 'her own'. She could sing the 'alphabet', the 'phone book',' the menu from McDonald's' and it would be a 'massive hit' without a doubt!
Ivete Jesus Gonçalves
Essa mulher é impossível! Ela canta tudo e canta bem.
