Rolling in the Deep
Auryn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship 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 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
(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 of you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making 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
(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
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You 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)
We could have had it all
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
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)




And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Overall Meaning

Auryn's rendition of "Rolling in the Deep" captures the intensity and emotion that was initially conveyed in Adele's original version. The song starts with the verse, "There's a fire starting in my heart, reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark." This opening line denotes an emotional start, which is also conveyed through the use of "fever pitch" and "bringing me out the dark." This phrase is repeated in the chorus, along with the lines "We could have had it all" and "You had my heart inside of your hand, and you played it to the beat", linking the emotion to a painful memory that still haunts the singer.


The second verse, "The scars of your love remind me of us, they keep me thinking that we almost had it all," is evidently about heartbreak. The scars signify the pain caused by a failed relationship, which is a constant reminder of what could have been. The line "Think of me in the depths of your despair, making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared" makes it clear that the singer has moved on and doesn't want to be part of the other person's life anymore.


The song is an ode to the pain of heartbreak, which is conveyed through the powerful lyrics and the singer's delivery. The fiery emotions that are contained within the lines create a poignant atmosphere.
