Rolling in the Deep
Rebﬅar Ft. Adele Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and 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 shit 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
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing 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 (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)

Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there 'cause mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind me of us (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling
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)

We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But 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

(You're gonna wish you never had met me) we could've had it all
We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
It all, it all, it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
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)

We could've 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 your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it, you played it, you played it, you played it
To the beat

Line by Line Meaning

There's a fire starting in my heart
My feelings for you have sparked an intense emotion that's burning deep within me

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
My passion has reached its highest point, and it's freeing me from my emotional darkness

Finally I can see you crystal clear
I've gained clarity on who you truly are and what you've done to me

Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
If you decide to betray me, I won't hesitate to reveal all the negative aspects of your life

See how I'll leave with every piece of you
I'll take with me everything that's important to you as I walk away from you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do
Don't think my actions won't have consequences because I'm capable of doing anything

The scars of your love remind me of us
The wounds you've caused me serve as a painful memory of what we had

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
It's hard for me to accept the fact that our love almost led to a perfect ending

The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling
The emotional pain you've inflicted on me paralyzes me, and I can't help but feel hurt

We could have had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
Our love could've been amazing, but your actions will make you regret ever crossing paths with me

Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We're both going to be drowning in our own tears as the consequences of our love unfold

You had my heart inside of your hand (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
I trusted you with my heart, but you'll regret ever having that power over me

And you played it to the beat (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You manipulated and mistreated my love to your own rhythm, and now we'll both suffer as a result

Baby I have no story to be told
I have no significant events in my life worth telling

But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn
I've heard some damaging information about you, and I'll make sure it hurts you deeply

Think of me in the depths of your despair
When you're at your lowest point, I want you to remember the pain you've caused me

Making a home down there 'cause mine sure won't be shared
I'll make sure to enjoy your misery because you've taken away the chance of a shared life with me

We could've had it all
Our love and life together could've been amazing

But you played it with a beating
You ruined our love with your cruel actions

Throw your soul through every open door
Be brave and never hold back on life's opportunities

Count your blessings to find what you look for
Be aware of all the good things in your life to be able to find the happiness you seek

Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
I've transformed my painful experiences into valuable lessons and personal growth

You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
Your actions against me will come back to you eventually

It all, it all, it all
Everything, every aspect of our love and relationship

But you played it, you played it, you played it, you played it
But you destroyed it, you caused pain, and you ruined our love

To the beat
A metaphorical reference to the rhythm of life, where our love was ruined by your callous actions
