favorite lyrics on a coldplay song?

You've all missed I Ran Away :o ! Not only does it sound great but if you really listen to the lyrics or look at them they're really quite impressive:

 

One, two, three... well

 

I ran away from you

That's all I ever do

And though I started here

I ran away from you

 

I'm gonna come on in

And see it through

 

I ran away from you

That's all I ever do

 

And when I heard you call to

Come back to me

And though I should stay

I don't have the stomach to

 

Everyone I know

Says I'm a fool to mess with you

Everyone I know

Says it's a stupid thing to do

 

I have your love on call

And yet my day is not so full

There might be nothing left to do

So I ran away from you

 

I'm gonna come on in

My eyes are closed

 

I can feel it there

The sun's so close

I'm gonna come on out

And burn the sky

 

A star arose in my own cage

I'm stuck in line

And in a cage

 

Just a single star

I sing for

 

Everyone I know

Says I'm a fool to mess with you

Everyone I know

Says it's a stupid thing to do

 

I have your love on call

And yet my day is not so full

And I did not know what to do

And so I ran away from you

 

Pretty much the rest of the songs named in here are really great too, although Warning Sign, The Scientist and Speed of Sound are probably the other top picks. Its so hard to pick a favorite song for its lyrics, they're almost all really something to admire! :D

ye' date=' i think its a brilliant song, even if its a bit weird to hear a song by coldplay that is that violent. its still gd though. :)[/quote']

 

I've always intepreted it as meaning that there's nothing worth pulling a gun out for and that violence is not the way to go. I may be wrong (probably am) but that's the way i like to think of it.

A rush of blood to the head - "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war' date=' if you can tell me something worth fighting for". top notch.[/quote']

 

That... as well as Don't Panic & Amsterdam. "Give me love, over... lover over this" as well - Politik :D v

 

yeah, that politik lyric is one of my faves too - along with "Give me real, don't give me fake".

Yeah, it's about how violence and war isn't the answer to anything and that nothing is worth fighting (or dying) for.

i think (though i may be wrong) its trying to say that violence is horrible, but the song trying to put you in that place, its asking you "how far would you go for someone you love?" i think its likle, leaving you to make up your own mind. you can see how strong the love is, but you know how wrong the violence is.

The thing that strikes me about that lyric is the provocative manner in which Chris is singing it... Like "Hell yeah, isn't the world a bad enough place already (without adding on to its ugliness some more)?"

It makes me feel sad and anguished at the same time...
