Adele Parody point of view

Original Lyrics

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it, with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (woah)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (woah)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (woah)
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (woah)
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.




What would the Adele song "Rolling in the Deep" be like if it was from her ex boyfriend's point of view.  I think that it would be more interesting because he had to be pretty upset with Adele.  I also think that it would make Adele seem like less of the victim and it would show how she is overreacting.  I left some of the basic sentence ideas so that it can clearly show him reacting to her.  


White/clear=ex boyfriend
Pink:Adele's responses/back-up singers(most of these lines were the same from the original song)

There's a fire dying in my heart
because you're out of my life and it's bringin' me out the dark
I could always see you crystal clear

you're the first to sell me out 'cause you never did care
I wanted to leave without any piece of you
why did you underestimate the things that I would do


There's a fire dying in my heart
because you're out of my life
and it's bringin' me out the dark


The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking how I didn't want it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
I didn't want it all
( but why didn't you want to stay with me?)
 I wish you never met me
(why do tears always fall, I hate what you did to me )
You overreact to everything
(What did I do? why do you hate me)
And you blamed me for things all the time
(Tears are gonna fall, you ruin everything)

Baby, I never really liked you
I wanted to run away and go find someone new
You act like it's my fault for your unending despair
Finally I realized that I don't really care


(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
because the scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking how I didn't want it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me choking
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling
I didn't want it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
I wish you never met me
(why do tears always fall, I hate what you did to me)
You overreact to everything
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you blamed me for things all the time
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I didn't want it all!!!
why don't you understand me!!!
you overreact to everything
It's like you try to find things wrong with me!!!


you crush my soul in every open door (woah)
You ruin everything right down to the core(woah)
you act like sorrow is your treasured gold(woah)
you look for attention everywhere you go(woah)
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
I didn't want to stay with you
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I didn't want to stay with you
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
with you, with you, with you
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

I didn't wan't to stay with you
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
sometimes you start to scare me
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can never do anything
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
without you writing a song about me
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

I just didn't want it all!
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
please forget you ever met me
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You overreact to everything
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

and you made me
you made me
you made me
you made me want to leave

The Worst Class of the Day: Math

I slam my locker door shut and slowly walk in to the class room.  I sit down at a table and talk to my friends in our last thirty seconds before complete boredom.  The bell rings in a sighing monotone voice.  I open my binder and flip to a blank page.  I stare blankly at my paper, only looking up to see if another antigonizing minute has ticked by.  The worst 70 minutes of every school day.  Math.

One thing about math that makes it horrible is the teacher.  Not all five of the teachers -- only the one.  All of the rest of them are completely nice and try to teach in the most helpful and interesting way possible.  Of course, there has to be that one bad teacher.  She is a looming dark cloud that reaches out from the crevices of the room to yell at students.  Even if she wasn't such a bad teacher that discourages her students from learning anything at all, she has a terrible personality.  She talks to students in a harsh, condescending tone, then expects complete respect from us.  She gives little direction, then expects students to be able to automatically know what she wants us to do.  This nightmare of a teacher is one very big reason that math class is the cloud shadowing my day.  

If this teacher is the dark, looming cloud, then Aleks is a hurricane.  I absolutely hate learning off of a computerized program.  ALEKS doesn't push me to meet my goals like a normal classroom setting does.  I dislike "work-at-your-own-pace" environments, because I feel like they don't motivate me to reach short term goals.  ALEKS also is rude and discouraging to the students.  If you click the explain button too many times, the programs says "let's try something else (because you obviously are too stupid to understand this topic.)"  This is not helped by the fact that a certain teacher always clicks the explain button after she explains the topic.  ALEKS is a program that works well for some, but not all students and is very unhelpful to the ones who don't like it.  

Despite the ALEKS program, I also don't like the formulas in math.  In a regular course there are about 100 topics covered.  In ALEKS there are about 300 per course.  This not only increases the amount of work the student has to do, but also makes us memorize an unnecessary amount of formulas.  This is particularly problematic with parabolas.  I can remember all of the formulas, but I can't figure out which formula belongs to each type of parabola graphing method.  I know which one to use while I'm learning the topic, but it is nearly impossible to tell which one to use on tests.  An excessive amount of formulas in math confuses students and makes learning harder for everyone.   

In math, there are many things that I don't like.  Unfortunately, it is very important in life.  Despite my hatred of math, it has taught me one important thing.  Even if you don't enjoy something, you can always make the best of it and achieve your goals.  I think that this is a very important thing to realize in life.  You aren't always going to want to do things, but sometimes it is worth it to work hard and see past what you don't like to accomplish you goals.  

The Destination of Life

fleeting
fragile
breakable like glass
things that seem so solid, but can vaporize in an instant
why bother
why take the time if things are only temporary
an unreachable goal
breaking hopes and dreams
maybe
it's because
we need to realize that all goals aren't unreachable
and some things last forever
maybe
the beauty of it is that
it can only be what you choose to see
and maybe,
the joy is in the journey
and the destination is only a new beginning
