Adele's Rolling In The Deep tells us about a woman revenge to the man who has hurt her.
Story of the song
As you can see in the complete lyric above, the song is opened with two related sentences: "There's a fire starting in my heart, Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark." The sentences can be interpreted as the statement of gaining self consciousness. It can be understood, then, that so far she was in the darkness, confusion. She does not really know right and wrong. She does not know who to trust and who to distaste.
Now, that she is self conscious, she 'can see (him) crystal clear'. She can see how her spouse really is. She cannot be cheated anymore. And so she challenges him to 'sell me out' which is likely to mean 'keep playing fool of me' and if he does, she will 'lay his ship', she will take the revenge as she declares "see how I'll leave with every piece of you'. She will do all of this even though she is a woman who is usually underestimated.
In another verse, she talks about the pain she feels everytime she remembers their togetherness. It's bitter to remember something we don't wanna remember, right? That's why she says that all of the memories leave her breatless. It makes her feel so sad.
After telling her sadness in that verse, she then shows her anger again. It's clearly seen in the sentence 'I'm gonna make your head burn'. The section can be interpreted as the plan of revenge she will take. She will make the man hurt and despair so that he will feel more that she has ever felt. She will be glad to know that in his despair, he thinks of her. May be this is the ultimate revenge she is gonna do since it's also when she remembers the togetherness with him that she feels the pain.
Well, that is one interpretation of Adele's Rolling in The Deep song. Do you have another? If so, send me yours.
