Rolling in the Deep
Glee Cast(글리 캐스트) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 head 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 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

Line by Line Meaning

There's a fire starting in my heart
I'm feeling an intense emotional passion inside of me


Reaching a fever pitch,
It's getting so intense that it's almost unbearable


It's bringing me out the dark
It's helping me see the truth and the light in my situation


Finally I can see you crystal clear
I now understand you completely and see you for who you truly are


Go head and sell me out
Betray me and reveal my secrets to others


And I'll lay your ship bare
I will expose your lies and deceit to the world


See how I leave with every piece of you
I am taking back all of the love and time I invested in you


Don't underestimate the things that I will do
Be warned that I am capable of great things and revenge


The scars of your love remind me of us
The emotional pain you caused me is a constant reminder of our relationship


They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
I still believe that our love could have been something great


The scars of your love they leave me breathless
The emotional pain is so intense that it takes my breath away


I can't help feeling
I'm unable to stop feeling this way


We could have had it all
Our love could have been everything we ever dreamed of


Rolling in the deep
Going deep into the emotions and heartache of our relationship


You had my heart inside of your hand
I gave you everything I had and you took it for granted


And you played it
You treated my love as a game and didn't take it seriously


To the beat
You played my heart to the rhythm of your own drum


Baby I have no story to be told
I don't have much to say about myself


But I've heard one of you
I've heard all about you and your deceitful ways


And I'm gonna make your head burn
I'm going to exact revenge and make you suffer for what you did to me


Think of me in the depths of your despair
I want you to suffer and feel as hopeless as I did when we were together


Making a home down there
I want you to feel so hopeless that you never leave that state of despair


As mine sure won't be shared
I won't share my happiness or success with someone who hurt me so much


Throw your soul through every open door
Put your all into every opportunity that comes your way


Count your blessings to find what you look for
Be grateful for what you have and you'll find what you're searching for


Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
I've turned my pain into something valuable and meaningful


You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
You will eventually face the consequences of your actions towards me


We could have had it all
Our love could have been amazing


It all, it all it all,
Everything we wanted and dreamed of


You could have had it all
You could have had my love and everything that came with it


And you played
But you didn't take it seriously


And you played
And you lost it all


And you played
Because you didn't realize its true value


And you played it to the beat
Treating love as a game instead of something that's meaningful and important
