Skyfall
Adele - Skyfall 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
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue, I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
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 collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you'll never have my heart
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall
(Let the sky fall)
(When it crumbles)
(We will stand tall)
(Let the sky fall)
(When it crumbles)
(We will stand tall)
Where you go, I go
What you see, I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall
Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At Skyfall
Ooh
The song "Skyfall" by Adele was written as the theme song for the 2012 James Bond movie of the same name. The song contains powerful lyrics that are both metaphoric and emotional. The singer talks of the end of something, potentially love or life, and requests the listener to hold their breath and count to ten, maybe symbolising the idea of face their fears together. The lyrics, “Feel the earth move and then, hear my heart burst again,” denote a sense of finality or conclusion. The singer feels as though her heart had stopped, and it beat again to propose a new era in life. The song talks about the importance of standing together, despite adversities or circumstances.
The first verse refers to the end of a journey, where the singer has drowned and dreamt of the moment. Noteworthy, the line “so overdue, I owe them” refers to a debt that the artist feels she needs to pay. It could be as simple as finishing the journey that she started, or to put it differently, the things she has been putting off for so long. Moreover, the chorus depicts integrity, where the singer talks about standing tall and relenting against the first signs of adversity. The final line, “At Skyfall,” potentially symbolizes a climactic struggle where the artist and her partner face their fears together.

You protect me from anything that could hurt me.
Put your hand in my hand
Make a connection with me.
And we'll stand
Together, we are strong.
