What is the meaning of the lyrics chasing pavements?

Answer 1

First answer provided: Slang term used for the act of specifically searching for a partner with whom to engage in either rimming, frosting or other scat related activities. The term 'pavements' is used as a euphemism for buttocks.

Intended Meaning of song.

While in some sects it carries that meaning, in the song by the British artist Adele, it most definitely has NO sexual meaning of any kind. Because of the incorrectly assigned meaning, some stations have pulled the song from the air but Adele herself has stated that the song has a much more deeper meaning: "Some weirdo on the Net wrote that 'Chasing Pavements' was about being gay, which isn't true at all," [Adele] said. "Because of that some radio stations in the States wouldn't play it. The guy wrote it on Urban Dictionary, which I've used for years, and 'chasing pavements' was never on there before.[...] The song "Chasing Pavements" refers to an incident that occurred at 6AM one day after a fight with that person during which Adele was running down the street alone. She thought to herself "What you're chasing is you're chasing an empty pavement." (Article used from digitalspy.co.uk)

Answer 2

The song was inspired by an incident Adele had with a former boyfriend of six months. At 6:00 AM one morning, after learning he had cheated on her, she went to the bar he was at and punched him in the face. After being thrown out, Adele walked down the street alone and thought to herself, "What is it you're chasing? You're chasing an empty pavement." She sang into it and recorded it on her mobile phone and arranged three chords when she got home.
