Adele's love life is my love life. Somewhat.

BTW this post was originally a draft from June 2012, but since I'm bored I decided to post it.

I'm listening to her 21 album over and over again and I somehow can relate to all of her songs. And most of them link back to one person. It's a little bit depressing. I remember when it just came out in 2011 and I had just gone through a painful breakup. I listened to the whole album nonstop and cried the entire time because some how it brought it all back to that one person

But, let's review, shall we? I won't bother explaining how each song relates to me. It just does. If you know me, you'll understand who, and if not, well then boo hoo.

1. Rolling in the deep.
This song is a very angry song. Basically, he's done her wrong and played with her heart and she's angry about it, obviously. She's also ready for revenge because he hurt her. But at the same time she's hurt because they could have been something amazing. She still carries the scars with her. But it doesn't matter so much anymore because she knows he will regret it. She was in a dark place for a long time but she's just ready to come out of it and she's angry instead. She sees him clearly now and she's ready to acknowledge what a shitty thing he did to her.

2. Rumor has it.
She's been strung along by a guy whom she has history with but who's now with someone else. But even though he's with someone else, he keeps coming back to Adele and making her his mistress. People know she's his mistress and she's angry about it because it makes her look bad. Even though she may have told him she loved him, maybe she didn't really mean it. And even though people are talking about how he's leaving his woman to be with her, in the end she turns the table because she doesn't want him anymore. She's with someone else.

3. Turning tables.
To me, this song is about a relationship where they keep fighting and he is always turning the story around on her making it seem like everything is her fault. But she's tired of it. She refuses to stay and keep being hurt. It's hard for her to leave, but it's something she has to do because the relationship is hurtful. But she's becoming stronger and she won't let it happen again with anyone else. She won't let herself keep being hurt.

4. Don't you remember.
Reminiscing about an old love, don't we all do this? Especially when we miss then and want them back. Basically this is it. They broke up so abruptly, and she misses him. She wants him to remember the good times they had together. This song basically is centered around "If you love someone, set them free and if they come back they're yours forever". But he hasn't come back, and she wishes he would come back to him.

5. Set fire to the rain.
She fell in love with him in a time when she was broken because he came and saved her, picked up the broken pieces of her heart. But she never really knew who he was. He lied to her and played games with her heart. He ended up hurting her but she couldn't help falling in love with him. She's angry and hurt at the same time, because she sees that it's over and that it won't work no matter how they work at it. Even now that they're over, she loves him and misses him. Breaking it off was hard because she's "letting it burn" because she's so angry, but it's "raining" from her tears.

6. He won't go.
Being in love with a troubled person. But it's hard to leave. She can't leave on her own. She doesn't think she can't forgive herself for giving up on him and leaving him. She can't leave also because she doesn't think he can survive it on his own and she wants to be there to support him. Yet she's confused as to what the relationship is. Is it love? He's a different person now, not the person she fell in love with.

7. Take it all.
It's about a guy leaving her. She gave him everything she had but she still questions if everything she did is enough because he still left anyway. He took her for granted. And he's taking parts of her that she gave to him and it's leaving her broken. She's disappointed because he's give up so easily. But she's really been trying to do everything for him, for their relationship. She's given up and she's telling him to just take everything with him as he leaves.

8. I'll be waiting.
She's done him wrong, but he drove her to it. But she still loves him and she wants him to love her back  because they were so good together. She wants to do everything different when he's ready to love her again. She's saying she was young and the mistakes she made were just because she never saw things clearly.

9. One and only.
She's getting into a new relationship and she cares about him so much that she only wants him. But she's scared, she's been having doubts. But it's because she's been in this place before, she's been hurt so much that it's hard to let go of the past. But she's asking for a chance to be his one and only. They've both been hurt and they both need to get over their past, but they're both scared. But that's why she's daring him to love.

10. Lovesong.
Just like the title. It's a love song. She's in love with him and no matter where they are, how far apart they may be, she will always love him.

11. Someone like you.
She's talking to an ex who's already moved on and married and in love. But she's not completely over him yet. She just showed up to remind him of what they had. But she wishes him the best even though she doesn't want him to forget her because she sees how happy he is.

12. If it hadn't been for love.
She's in love with this guy but she find out he's cheated on her. So she tracks him down and kills him, justifying it and the fact that she ends up in jail all because it was for love.

13. Hiding my heart.
She met someone who blew her away and she fell completely in love with him because he took away her sorrow. She wishes they were still together because he's already left her. And because she loved him so much and he left her, she will spend the rest of her life hiding her heart away from everyone else.

14. I found a boy.
It's about an ex coming crawling back now that they see that she's moved on and is happy with someone else. But she's telling him he can go back to the hole he came from because she's so happy and in love with the person she's with now, more than  she ever was with him.
