I was looking for an interpretation of the expression "rolling in the deep", but I'm not convinced with what's been expressed so far. The clover idea is interesting but kind of a stretch and doesn't really fit the meaning; the gang idea is pretty funny and it is interesting to think of the song as about her relationship with the world instead of an ex-lover, but I really don't think that was the intent. However, I think the background vocals (thanks to HottChocolayt for posting) explain it. The preceding line "tears are gonna fall" leads me to think that "rolling in the deep" is saying that the ex-lover is going to cry so much that he is going to drown in the rolling waves of his ocean of tears. |

Amazing song - perfect delivery. Chilling. I have two theories on the "answers": 1) He was half asleep when he scribbled the solution. The dream did actually have the answers, but he lost them by writing them in that state. 2) He is begging to be shown the way by his lover's ghost. The ghost visits him in a dream and gives him the answers. However, the language is that of the dead, and while he understood it in a state of sleep, he cannot translate the answers into anything meaningful while awake. |

I'm not sure what was intended with this song, but I can really relate it to my life. I was recently came out to my parents, who have very fundamentalist beliefs. They refuse to accept me for who I am, so we are disconnected. I feel that this song can be about someone who is denied their parents' love (and by extension, their home). The child sees a river as being in the care of its mother the sea, something that she is not able to experience. I think despite the current situation, the child holds hope that some day her parents will accept the "life that she could call her own" and she will have a home again. I, too, hold the dream of reuniting with my parents. |
