I hope everyone has heard the song “Someone Like You” by Adele. After all it has been played on the radio like a billion times. Over and over the song is played. The song itself is not silly it actually has a meaning. If anyone reads the lyrics they understand that the song itself is a story. Both people in the song were in love but they went their own ways then years later Adele whomever she portrays is told that her true love is getting married. She comes back to the town that they grew up in to see him getting married with someone else. She is heartbroken but she remembers what he told her when they went their separate way “sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.” She doesn’t want to accept that he has moved on because of all the memories they shared were precious and beautiful. She admits to herself that she herself has not moved on from their love they had. Then she sees them again sometime later and accepts the fact that he has moved on and she has to, too. She realizes that his words were so true sometimes it does last in love, but sometimes love just hurts. The story is real. Sometimes people let things go and they don’t realize that it was the best thing that could’ve happened to them.
Why people let go of the best things that have ever happened to them I will never understand. In the end if someone let a person go it was out of his or her own decision. They should not regret the decision they took because it was their own fault. If they truly love someone they will not let them go no matter if the world is ending right in front of their eyes. Many people believe in true love, I do.
True love may only come once. Only once. If someone lets it go where would they find true love again? It would not be the same. It’s sort of hurtful. The fact that one of them lived their fairytales and the other one got burned. Though I strongly believe that Adele went out, lived her fantasies and made her dream job or wishes come true; she forgot about him until he lost him. Meanwhile the guy she abandoned didn’t get to live his fantasy until after he got over his heartbreak and someone fixed him up (his wife). If Adele had been smart she would have made the guy travel with her or she would have abandoned her dreams to live with her true love. Sometimes its better if a person gets burned then they can retell their story and help other people not make the same mistakes.
In real life this may happen either in love or in another way. Someone could let an opportunity get away. Then over the years they would regret ever making that decision. Maybe someone committed a crime and can’t take it back and they are left with regret. Not only is this song mostly about love but also it’s about making mistakes and regretting them later on. One should never regret a decision they made because they have no one to blame but themselves. Yes the decision can “hurt” them but oh well they should suck it up and eventually move on and enjoy other things. No one should dwindle on matters that are past history. Events will come and go that will define you but in the end its how they viewed it themselves.
I believe that this song is live changing. It helps me see that I should be careful of how I make my decisions and why I made them. Decisions are important and need to be taken seriously. One decision can alter an outcome by a big degree. When you make a decision its final, there is no going back. Adele’s love story clearly demonstrates that.
