Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door (Wohh ho ho oh)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (Wohh oh oh oh)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (Wohh ho ho oh)
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand

The lyrics to Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" reveal a story of betrayal and heartbreak. The song begins with Adele stating that there is a fire starting in her heart, a metaphor for her anger and pain. The fire has reached a fever pitch, bringing her out of the dark, which suggests that she was once in a somber state of mind. She finally sees the person who betrayed her clearly and invites them to sell her out because she is ready to lay their secrets bare. Adele then claims that she will leave with every piece of the person she loved, and they should not underestimate what she is capable of. The chorus repeats that there is a fire starting in her heart.
The next verse mentions the scars of the person's love that remind her of their relationship and what they could have had together. The scars have left her breathless, unable to forget the feeling of what could have been. Adele then warns the person that they will wish they never met her because she will make their head burn. She wants them to think of her in the depths of their despair and understand the pain they caused her. Adele then repeats the chorus, emphasizing the pain she feels.
The bridge of the song shows Adele overcoming her pain and sorrow. She tells the person to "throw their soul through every open door" and "count their blessings to find what they look for." She urges them to turn her sorrow into treasured gold and to pay her back in kind. Adele ends the song repeating the chorus and reminding the person that they had her heart in their hand, which they played to the beat.

There's a fire starting in my heart
I'm starting to feel intense emotions inside me
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
These emotions are becoming overwhelming and bringing me out of my sadness
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
I can finally see the truth about you and our relationship
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
If you betray me, I'll expose your secrets and reveal the truth about you
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
I'll take everything that you gave me and leave you with nothing
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
Don't think that I won't take action against you - I will
The scars of your love remind me of us
The pain from our past relationship is always on my mind
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
I can't help but feel regret for what could have been
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
The pain from our past love is suffocating me
We could have had it all
We had the potential for a great relationship
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
You're going to regret ever having crossed paths with me
Rolling in the deep
I'm immersed in my emotions and can't escape them
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I know that I'm going to cry because of this situation
You had my heart inside of your hand
You had a hold on my emotions and my love
And you played it to the beat
You toyed with my emotions, just like a musician plays an instrument
Baby, I have no story to be told
I don't have a dramatic story to share with you
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn
However, I know some things about you and I'm going to use them against you
Think of me in the depths of your despair
I want you to remember me even when you're at your lowest point
Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
I hope you stay miserable and alone, because I won't be with you again
Could have had it all
We could have had a great relationship, but you ruined it
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
I will take my sadness and turn it into something valuable
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
You will face consequences for your actions and receive what you deserve
It all, it all, it all
Everything could have been so different
But you played it, you played it, you played it
But instead, you messed it all up
You played it to the beat
You played with my emotions and caused me pain

There's a fire
Starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch,
It's bringing me out the dark.
Finally,
I can see you crystal clear.
Go ahead and sell me out
And I'll lay your ship bare.
See how I leave with every piece of you.
Don't underestimate
The things that I will do.
There's a fire
Starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch,
And it's bringing me out the dark.
The scars of your love
Remind me of us.
They keep me thinking
That we almost had it all.
The scars of your love,
They leave me breathless.
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.
Baby, I have
No story to be told
But I've heard one on you.
And I'm gonna make your head burn.
Think of me
In the depths of your despair.
Make a home down there,
As mine sure
Won't be shared.
The scars of your love
Remind me of us.
They keep me thinking
That we almost had it all.
The scars of your love,
They leave me breathless.
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
But you played it with a beating.
Throw your soul
Through every open door.
Count your blessings
To find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold.
You'll pay me back in kind
And reap just what you sow.
We could have had it all.
We could have had it all.
It all, it all, it all.
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand.
But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.
