The True Meaning Behind To Be Loved By Adele

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Adele may be a successful star, however, that doesn't mean that she always knows what she's doing. That apparently applies to her former marriage and eventual divorce. She makes that clear in her song, "To Be Loved." In the first verse, she sings, per Genius, "I built a house for a love to grow / I was so young that it was hard to know / I'm as lost now as I was back then / Always make a mess of everything."

Although she may not have known everything back then, there's something she knows now which she reveals when she adds, "It's about time that I face myself / All I do is bleed into someone else / Painting walls with all my secret tears / Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears." Oof. Are you crying yet?

Whether or not you're already weepy and potentially relating to Adele's raw emotional revelations, she might hit you right in the heart in the second verse when she admits something else. "I'm so afraid, but I'm open wide / I'll be the one to catch myself this time," she sings. On top of that, she tells her listeners that "Looking back, [she doesn't] regret a thing," and even though she "took some bad turns," she's "owning" them and will "stand still and let the storm pass by / Keep my heart safe till the time feels right." And there's a very good reason for that.
