It seems to be about the devil to me; keeping the truth from people even though it's always right in front of us. The parts about "when you find it you keep it, etc" is about the truth. When you find the truth you have to hold on to it tightly. "Maybe you'll know it if you see it" "Maybe when you say it you'll mean it" = the phrase, "I Love You". This is all from memory, so a couple words might be off here or there, but I think it contributes a bit to the thread anyways.. Love is still the answer, take my hand:) Part of a system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura84 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I might sound crazy :o but this song reminds me of Kylie Minogue "Can't get you out of my head"...Only in the rhythm...in the beat... The words have nothing to do with Kylie!! I don't know.... Please tell me what you think... Am I completely "out of my head"??? :roll: :smash: :smash: :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LiquidSky Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Coldplay - White Shadows When I was a young boy I tried to listen and I wanna feel like that little white shadows of sparkle and glisten I'm part of a system plan. Do you ever feel like there's something missing? Things you'll never understand little white shadows that are blinking in distance part of a system plan. When all our fears are waking up all the space they're taking up I say I cannot hear you, you're breaking up. Ohhhh.. Maybe you get what you wanted maybe you stumbled upon it everything you ever wanted in a permanent state. Maybe you'll know when you see it maybe if you say it, you mean it when you find that you keep me in a permanent state (a permanent). When I was a young boy I tried to listen I don't think I'll ever feel like that. We're part of the human race and all of the stars and outer space we're part of the system plan. When all our fears are waking up and all the space, they're taking up I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up Aaaawwww Ohhhh Come On Ohhhhh..... Maybe you get what you wanted maybe you'll stumble upon it everything you ever wanted in a permanent state. Maybe you'll know when you see it maybe if you say it, you'll mean it when you find that you keep me in a permanent state (a permanent state). I swear I'm only seeing faces tired of the human races Oh, answer now is what I need.. See it in a new sun rising see it breaking on your horizon Oh, come on love, stay with me.... ------------------- And oh Jbaby's version... Baby you're stronger and you know it and I don't remember what else he was saying :P Jon what were you saying? I liked your version too! :D :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin04 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 This song has the best lyrics of any Coldplay song I've heard. Especially the chorus (Maybe you'll get what you wanted, Maybe you'll stumble upon it). Good, good shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
