Rolling in the Deep
Jesse And Rachel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the heavens above turn red from the fire down below
Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through
Silver friend at night yellow friend you come with the dawn
Back in my heart I've been drying my eyes see me run
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through
Refusing to talk I suppose that it's all for love's sake
And learning to give that's important before you can take from me
Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
So you hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through
The lyrics of Jesse and Rachel's song 'Rolling In The Deep' is a soulful and contemplative composition about finding home, companionship, and the importance of unity in a world that is constantly trying to divide us. The opening lines suggest that the singer has returned to their roots, a place where the mountains are tall, and the skies are a beautiful blend of fire and redness. The connection to nature and the past is strong, and it seems that the singer has found a sort of peace that they were looking for.
As the song progresses, the emphasis shifts to the bonds of friendship and love. The silver and yellow friends mentioned in the lyrics could be metaphors for the different people that come into our lives. The singer mentions 'drying their eyes,' indicating that they have been through tough times and that their friends have provided the needed support to get through these challenges. The lines, 'So you hang on to me and I'll hang on to you, said together we're one divided we're through' emphasizes the importance of remaining united, no matter what obstacles come our way.
The last verse mentions that learning to give is important before one can take, emphasizing the importance of reciprocity in friendships and relationships. The overarching message of the song is that we should hold on to those who matter, support each other and stay united if we want to succeed in this world.

"Rolling In The Deep"
(feat. Jonathan Groff)
[Rachel]
There's a fire startin' in my heart
Reachin' a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
[Jesse]
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead 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
Reachin' 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 feelin'...
[Jesse & Rachel]
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)
[Rachel]
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I heard one on you and it's gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Makin' a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
[Jesse]
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 feelin'...
[Jesse & Rachel]
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 hands (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it with a beatin'
[Jesse]
Throw your soul through every open door
[Rachel]
Count your blessings to find what you look for
[Jesse]
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
[Rachel]
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown
[Jesse & Rachel]
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Yeah, 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)
Yeah, 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 hands (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You 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 hands (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played and you played and you played
And you played it to the beat
