This song (and possibly a few of her other songs on 25) could be about her alleged former boyfriend photographer Alex Sturrock. Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesĪs fans know, Adele is very private when it comes to her personal life, save for the few times she's talked about her current boyfriend Simon Konecki, who she's been with since 2011. It has to be about someone she loved immensely at one time and found it hard to walk away from. You don't write and sing a song like this about just some ordinary flight.

So, just who is she singing about? Clearly, it's about a past and deep love. The song opens as follows: Take your eyes off of me so I can leave / I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me / This is never ending we have been here before / But I can't stay this time 'cause I don't love you anymore / Please stay where you are / Don't come any closer / Don't try to change my mind, I'm being cruel to be kind / I can't love you in the dark / It feels like we're oceans apart / There is so much space between us / Maybe we're already defeated Those are some devastating lyrics Adele's belting out in the song, and I'm not sure I can handle all the emotions she's feeling, not to mention the emotions she's making me feel. For example, who is "Love in the Dark" about? A majority of the 27-year-old singer's lyrics are beyond heartbreaking (shocking, I know) and make you really think about her past relationships. Does that really surprise anyone? On Friday, Adele's album 25 was released and now everyone's forgetting all about work and listening to her new music instead and trying to figure out who she's singing about in some of her songs.
