Rolling in the Deep
Mike Posner- 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 ahead and sell me out
And I'll lay your shit 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
And it's 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 thinking
We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
In your hand
But you played it
To the beat
Bringing me out the dark
To the beat Ba-ba-ba-baby bringing me out the dark.
Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you
Now I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there
Cause my 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 thinking
We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
In your hand
But you played it
To the beat
Bringing me out the dark
To the beat Ba-ba-ba-baby bringing me out the dark.
Mike Posner's version of Adele's hit song "Rolling in the Deep" captures the anger and hurt that comes with a breakup. The lyrics suggest that Posner was lied to and betrayed by his lover, and he's now ready to confront them with a fire in his heart that has reached a fever pitch. He can see them clearly now and is not afraid to expose them and lay bare their secrets. He's not to be underestimated, and he's ready to fight back.
The scars of their love remind him of what could have been, haunting him with the memory of what was lost. He's breathless with the pain of it all, unable to forget what they had and how they threw it all away. Posner sings that they could have had it all, rolling in the deep of their love, but they chose a different path. He gave them his heart and soul, but they played him, dancing to the beat of their own selfish desires.

@Paigers616
I love how every cover I hear sounds different from the last one and different from the original. Thats what a great soul song does- allows the possibility for so many other artists to relate and feel it in their own way.
