4. What does rolling in the deep mean?

~ It's relating to how deep her feelings are.

1. "In Kind" is like a bank account.

1a. Reap what you sow is a "revenge factor" meaning you get back what you give.

2. It is my understanding that she says "I'll lay your 'sheet' bare" meaning you'll never find love again.

3. Her sorrow was used to acquire wealth by the person who hurt her.

4. "We could have had it all" means "rolling in the deep". Picture whatever it is that you want and "rolling" in it.

1. If you treat me like crap you will be treated like crap

2. Open up to love

3. Going through hard things ads to your character

4. It means your in deep emotional sh!t

She wrote while she was sad and heart broken, because she loved her boyfriend very much. So this song means how she thinks that he should be left and knowing that he desrved her... I Think that it means basicly that she wants him to go to hell... XD

She said on this website that its like a f*** you to her ex

thanks for the replies, greatly appreciated!
