"White Shadows"

 

when i was a young boy

i tried to listen

and i want to feel like that

little white shadows

of sparkle and glisten

im part of a system

plan........

 

do you ever feel like

theres something missing

thinks youll never understand

little white shadows

blinking and glisten?

part of a system

plan.......oh oh

 

when all our fears are waking up

all the space theyre taking up

so i cannot hear you breaking up

woooah woah

 

maybe you got what you wanted

maybe you stumbled upon it

everything you ever wanted

in a permanent state

maybe you got it you see it

maybe if you say it youll meet 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 dont think ill ever feel like that

part of the human race

all of the stars and outer space

part of the system

plan.......

 

when all our fears are waking up

all the space theyre taking up

so i cannot hear you breaking up

woooah woah

 

maybe you got what you wanted

maybe youll stumble upon it

everything you ever wanted

in a permanent state

maybe you got it you see it

maybe if you say it youll meet it

when you find that you keep me

in a permanent state

a permanent........

 

i swear im only seeing faces

tired of the human races

oh an answer now, is what i need

see it in a new sun rising

see it breaking on your horizing

oh come on love, stay with me

 

 

 

again a crappy version, but please help and well fix it up

he (the devil) thinks you'll never understand

little white shadows

blinking and glisten?

part of a system

plan.......oh oh

 

all my fears are waking up

all the space I'm taking up

so i cannot hear you, breaking up

woooah woah

 

maybe you'll get what you wanted

maybe you'll stumble upon it (the answer)

everything here when I want it (distractions)

in a permanent state

maybe you'll know it when you see it (love)

maybe if you say it youll mean it (I love you)

when you find it you keep it

in a permanent state

a permanent........

 

when i was a young boy

i tried to listen

i dont think ill ever feel like that

part of the human race &

all of the stars and outer space

part of the system

plan.......

 

when all our fears are waking up

all the space I'm taking up

I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up

ah,ah,ah,ah,ah (woah, woah...)

 

maybe you'll get what you wanted

maybe you'll stumble upon it (love)

everything here when I want it (distractions from love)

in a permanent state

maybe you'll know it when you see it

maybe if you say it you'll mean it

when you find it, you keep it

in a permanent state (or stare???)

a permanent........

 

i swim out on the sea of faces,

tired, but the human race is on

an answer now, is what i need

see it in the new sun rise &

see it breaking on your horizon

oh come on love, stay with me

 

 

 

again a crappy version, but please help and well fix it up

 

That's my two cents. 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

I like your interpretation...

"Maybe when you say it you'll mean it" = the phrase, "I Love You"

I loved this song from the first time... :blush: :rolleyes:

these words are wonderful:

 

when i was a young boy

i tried to listen

i don't wanna feel like that

little white shadows

sparkle and glisten

part of a system

a plan........

 

Thank you for the lyrics

:blush:

i think in the second verse instead of blink and glisten it is..."blink in the distance" what do you think guys?

_____________________________________

 

these and more are doubtful

that sounds really good, i think were getting real close with this one

i still stand by...blink in the distance in the second verse as opposed to "blink and glisten"....am i wrong...if so let me know

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:

Luv this tune

Coldplay - White Shadows

 

When I was a young boy

little white shadows

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:

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.
