Adele has to be one of the best things that has happened to this young generation's mostly talentless music in a long time. This girl is only in her young twenties and she's singing with the pain and emotion of someone who's lived a very long and full life. It just goes to show that anyone with the true talent of singing (without having their voice mixed to all hell) has a very special gift. And when you've got it, you've just got it. Adele's definitely got it. I didn't know what Adele would hit us with on her second album, but my expectations have certainly been beyond met. This song, along with the entire 21 album, is absolutely phenomenal.
After listening to the song and watching the music video (I insist everyone watches it, it's very well done and paints a great image based off the lyrics), this song reminds me of a once beautiful love that has shattered into pieces. I imagine this relationship has gone through destruction, turmoil, heated fights, and plenty of hurt & heartache. She laments the loss of their love and how they could have been something amazing because she loved him deeply ("We could've had it all"), but somehow he's hurt her immensely. And now she's gathering the strength to finally put an end to the madness of their relationship once and for all ("There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark").
Makes me think of a marriage ending in a bitter divorce. Or perhaps just a long lasting relationship that was once very fulfilling ending in a very unfortunate manner.

You couldn't have said it better in my eyes. This song and your view on the meaning of it, hit exactly on a spot I understand! Thanks!
