Skyfall
Adele ft Skrillex 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'll stand tall
At Skyfall
Ooh
The lyrics to the chorus of Adele's "Skyfall" are about standing strong and united during difficult times. The verse talks about the end, which refers to a personal journey. The opening line of the chorus, "Let the sky fall, when it crumbles we will stand tall, face it all together" is about facing their obstacles and moving through the hard times, whatever they may be. The song speaks of someone finding their strength in another person and how they feel unable to move forward without them.
To break it down further, the opening lines of the song talk about the end or a final moment coming with "this is the end," and the singer is expecting something to happen. They mention drowning, which is used metaphorically to express how they've been waiting for this moment for so long, and it's finally arrived. The chorus is all about facing the storm head-on and coming out the other end stronger. "Skyfall" is used as a metaphor here to represent the adversity they face, but the characters stand together, hand in hand, determined to keep moving forward.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message of resilience, finding strength in others, and overcoming tough times.
