Rolling in the Deep
Rachel/Jesse Lyrics

The lyrics to Rachel/Jesse's song "Rolling in the Deep" convey a sense of longing and yearning for home and for a sense of unity. The opening lines "Deep in the west where the tall mountains grow I've gone home / Where the heavens above turn red from the fire down below" evoke a sense of a vast and rugged landscape, as well as an emotional journey that has led the singer back to where they belong. The repetition of the phrase "Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you / Said together we're one divided we're through / Divided we're through" underscores the importance of communication and connection, suggesting that the singer is seeking a deeper level of understanding and intimacy in a relationship.

Later in the song, the lyrics evoke the image of "Silver friend at night yellow friend you come with the dawn / Back in my heart I've been drying my eyes see me run," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of emotions, and the way that companionship and support can help one weather the ups and downs of life. The final lines "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" suggest the importance of both communication and generosity in a relationship, and the need for both partners to be willing to work towards a common goal in order to achieve unity.
