Let The Sky Fall
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
Chorus:
Let the sky fall
Let it crumble
And face it all
Together
The opening lines of Adele's song "Let The Sky Fall" encapsulate a sense of impending doom, as if the world is about to end. The instruction to "hold your breath and count to ten" creates a sense of tension and urgency, while the line "feel the Earth move and then" suggests that something seismic is happening. The following line, "hear my heart burst again", highlights the emotional intensity of the moment, as if the singer is experiencing a rush of adrenaline or fear.
The chorus of the song is about resilience and standing firm in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrase "let the sky fall" suggests that even in the face of total destruction, the singer remains defiant and resolute. The image of the crumbling sky is a powerful one, evoking a sense of chaos and danger, but the message of the song is ultimately one of hope and solidarity. By standing together, we can face anything that comes our way, even the end of the world.

This is the end
It is the concluding moment
Hold your breath and count to ten
Take a moment to brace yourself
Feel the Earth move and then
Sense the tremors of life
Hear my heart burst again
Experience the intense emotions
Let the sky fall
Allow everything to crumble
Let it crumble
Don't fight against the downfall
We will stand tall
We will endure and stay strong
And face it all
We will confront any challenge
Together
As a unified force

this is the end.
hold your breath and count to ten.
feel the earth move and then
hear my heart burst again
for this is the end
iโve drowned and dreamt this moment
so overdue, i owe them.
swept away, iโm stolen
let the skyfall
when it crumbles
we will stand tall
face it all together
let the skyfall
when it crumbles
we will stand tall
face it all together
at skyfall
at skyfall
skyfall is where we start
a thousand miles and poles apart
where worlds may collide and days are dark
you may have my number, you can take my name
but youโll never have my heart
let the skyfall (let the skyfall)
when it crumbles (when it crumbles)
we will stand tall (we will stand tall)
face it all together
let the skyfall (let the skyfall)
when it crumbles (when it crumbles)
we will stand tall (we will stand tall)
face it all together
at skyfall
at skyfall
where you go, i go
what you see, i see
i know iโd never be me
without the security
of your loving arms
keeping me from harm
put your hand iโm my hand
and weโll stand
let the skyfall (let the skyfall)
when it crumbles (when it crumbles)
we will stand tall (we will stand tall)
face it all together
let the skyfall (let the skyfall)
when it crumbles (when it crumbles)
we will stand tall (we will stand tall)
face it all together
at skyfall
at skyfall
let the skyfall
we will stand tall
at skyfall
