A Winter Walk

On a cold day in mid-December an old lady walks down the park with a stick and a mysterious bag on her hand. As the old lady walks, she has to deal with the snow on the ground and the cold temperature that is freezing the river. The old lady is trying to get to the bridge to cross it, but doesn’t know there are ghost’s following her. The ghosts are following her by air and some by ground. The ghosts on the ground are preventing the old lady to see them, so they hide behind the trees. As the old lady walks the ghosts are approaching closer to the old lady by air and by ground. Are the ghosts going to attack her and be after the mysterious bag or are they guiding her to cross the bridge safe and to get to her destination?

Song Lyrics and Poetry

"Set Fire To The Rain"
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

Cause there's a side to you

That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

 [Chorus:]

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

 I set fire to the rain

And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

 Sometimes I wake up by the door,

That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.

 [Chorus:]

I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

 I set fire to the rain,

And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!

Oh noooo

Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh

I believe this is a poetry song because it’s telling a real life story in which a girl/boy can connect with depending on what’s going on in their relationship (basically contradictions in relationships) and that brings the outcome of liberation. Adele expresses what she feels inside of her in this song in rhythm. The song is titled "Set fire to the Rain", which means to forget about the tears or sadness burning the pain and getting rid of the person who played you and if she or he left forget of them and leave them do their lives; not begging or in contact with that person. This song contains Literary devices such as symbolism in the line “I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell you rose to claim it” this line has symbol because its represents a broken heart and then fixed by liberation. A simile “Watched it pour as I touched your face” because it compares the rain (crying) to a person’s face. Allusion “Well, it burned while I cried” because she is dropping tears while its hurting inside. Imagery “And I threw us into the flames” for the listener to have a sense of what is going on.
