Rolling in the Deep
Glee - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching a fever pitch,
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 leave with every piece of you
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring 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 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
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
With a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You 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 your hand
And you played it
To the beat
You could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played
And you played
And you played
And you played it to the beat
The song "Rolling In the Deep" by Glee, which is a cover of the popular song by Adele, is one of the standout performances of the show. The song talks about a romantic relationship gone wrong, and the pain that comes with the breakup. The lyrics speak of a woman who has been hurt by a former lover, and she is now ready to move on. The opening line, "There's a fire starting in my heart," is a metaphor for the pain that the woman is feeling. The next few lines talk about how the pain is so intense that it's bringing her out of the dark and allowing her to see things clearly.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "We could have had it all," which is a reference to the relationship that they could have had if things had gone differently. The use of the word "rolling" in this context is meant to convey the idea that they were once on the right track, but something went wrong and everything started falling apart. The verses continue to build on this idea of a relationship that was almost perfect, but ultimately fell apart due to one person's actions. The phrase "played it to the beat" is a reference to the former lover's actions, which were cruel and thoughtless.

There's a fire starting in my heart
I'm feeling a strong passion that's brewing inside me
Reaching a fever pitch,
It's getting really intense and I can feel my emotions boiling over
It's bringing me out the dark
It's helping me come out of my shell and see things clearly
Finally I can see you crystal clear
I can finally see you for who you truly are
Go head and sell me out
Betray me if you want to
And I'll lay your ship bare
I'll reveal all your secrets and expose you
See how I leave with every piece of you
I'm taking everything with me as I leave, including parts of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
You shouldn't think I'm powerless and won't take action
The scars of your love remind me of us
The remnants of our love bring back memories of us together
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars make me wonder how close we were to having a perfect relationship
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
The pain of those scars leaves me struggling for air
I can't help feeling
I can't control the emotions that this brings up within me
We could have had it all
Our love could have been everything we ever wanted
Rolling in the deep
We were deeply in love
You had my heart inside of your hand
You had my love fully in your grasp
And you played it
You took advantage of my love
To the beat
To the rhythm of your own desires
Baby I have no story to be told
I don't have any noteworthy experiences to share
But I've heard one of you
I've been told stories about you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
I'm going to make you regret what you did to me
Think of me in the depths of your despair
I want you to remember me when you're at your lowest and most hopeless
Making a home down there
I want to be a permanent reminder of your mistakes
As mine sure won't be shared
I won't forgive or forget what you did to me
Throw your soul through every open door
Take every opportunity that comes your way without hesitation
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Be grateful for all the good things you have in your life and find what you truly desire
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
I turned my pain into something valuable
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
You'll get what you deserve and face the consequences of your actions
We could have had it all
Our love was full of potential
It all, it all it all,
All of our love and potential
And you played
You took advantage of my love
And you played it
You manipulated and used my love
And you played
You continued to take advantage of me
And you played it to the beat
You did it all without remorse, to the rhythm of your own desires
