Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
Oh, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
The lyrics to Adele's song Set Fire to the Rain portray a tumultuous relationship, one that began when the singer fell in love with the other person. The singer's heart fell, and the other person claimed it, kissing their lips and saving them. However, despite her strong hands, her knees were too weak to stand up to the person's games and lies. She set fire to the rain and watched it pour down as she burned and cried, screaming out their name.
The passionate chorus of the song shows the singer's pain and bitterness as she sets fire to the rain and throws the relationship into the flames. Something has died, and the singer acknowledges that it was the last time they will be together. However, she can't help looking for her love even now that they are over. The repeated "let it burn" at the end of the song drives home the finality of the break up as the singer urges herself to move on and let go.
Line by Line Meaning
I let it fall, my heart
I opened myself up to love, even though I knew it could end in pain.
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
You took advantage of my vulnerability and came into my life when I was at my weakest.
It was dark and I was over
I had given up hope, and was resigned to a life without love.
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Your love reignited hope in me and made me believe in love again.
My hands, they're strong
I am capable of taking care of myself and standing up for what I believe in.
But my knees were far too weak
But when it comes to you, I am vulnerable and easily swayed.
To stand in your arms
I am willing to be held by you, even if it leaves me open to being hurt.
Without falling to your feet
But I am still strong enough to walk away if I need to.
But there's a side to you
I am starting to see a different side of you, one that I didn't know existed before.
That I never knew, never knew
You have been hiding things from me that I never suspected before.
All the things you'd say
The things you said to me were lies, designed to keep me under your control.
They were never true, never true
You never meant any of the things you said to me, and were only using me for your own purposes.
And the games you play
You have been manipulating me and playing with my emotions this entire time.
You would always win, always win
You were always in control and knew exactly how to manipulate me to get what you wanted.
But I set fire to the rain
I am finally taking control and fighting back against your manipulation.
Watched it pour as I touched your face
I am enjoying the power that I now hold over you as I make my stand.
Well, it burned while I cried
Even as I take my stand, I am still in pain and tears come to my eyes as I do what I must.
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
I am finally confronting you and calling you out for your actions.
Your name
I am finally bringing your actions to the attention of everyone who matters.
When I lay with you
When we were together.
I could stay there
I always felt comfortable and safe around you.
Close my eyes
I could trust you with my deepest secrets and my most vulnerable self.
Feel you here forever
I thought we would be together for a long time.
You and me together, nothing gets better
I truly believed that we were meant to be together and could weather any storm.
When it fell, something died
When our relationship fell apart, it killed a part of me inside.
'Cause I knew that that was
I was aware that our relationship was headed in this direction.
The last time, the last time
This was the end of our time together, and I knew it.
Sometimes I wake up by the door
Sometimes I wake up with a start, as though I'm afraid of what's on the other side of the door.
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
You must have other people waiting in the wings, just like you did with me.
Even now, when we're already over
Even though we're no longer together, I can't help but wonder if you're still playing games with me.
I can't help myself from looking for you
I am still struggling to let go of my feelings for you.
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
I am letting go of my feelings for you and moving on.
Oh, oh
Let it burn
I am letting go of my pain and my past, and am ready to move forward with my life.
Let it burn

Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh!
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
