June 3, 200521 yr This is kind of random and stupid, but whenever I listen to X&Y...when he sings "fighting with my weak hand"..I can't help but laugh because it reminds me of Scary Movie 2... "TAKE MY HAND!!"

June 3, 200521 yr I think its more exciting if the lyrics dont always make sense, coz it gets you thinking..'what was he trying to say here?' Music is the main thing, but lyrics are just ideas put together into a melody..
June 3, 200521 yr listen to careful where you stand lovely lyrics chris is capable of writing lovely lyrics and he does ....most of the time :P
June 3, 200521 yr chris' lyrics bring the album down. Musically, every member of the band has improved a lot but Chris' lyrics are not nearly as good as those in parachutes and AROBTTH. Here is some proof of bad lyrics "You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me and that's what made me see where I was going wrong" 1. he uses the three most rhymable and overused word in elementary school poetry. tree me and see. 2. How the hell can these lyrics make sense? Just read the first two lines. How can that be possible? and the las line just doesn't belong. how does being cut from a tree make someone see where he/she is going wrong?

I agree with you mate, Swallowed By The Sea has the worst lyrics ever, I played it to my missus in bed last night, she just said "Christopher (her 5 year old) could write better than that".

June 3, 200521 yr Lyrics don't always have to make perfect sense you know....just listen to Radiohead's lyrics!
June 3, 200521 yr at least thom yorke writes lyrics that are complete thoughts. chris writes like a few catchy lines and the rest is just like a handful of random words.
June 3, 200521 yr Yeah, Radiohead lyrics always make more sense than people think they do, you just actually have to think about them. Most Coldplay lyrics start sounding like the dumbest statements ever if you think about them for too long.
June 3, 200521 yr chris writes like a few catchy lines and the rest is just like a handful of random words. Ehm, they're called metaphors. If you can understand Thom's, surely you can understand Chris'?
June 3, 200521 yr Chris's metaphors (when they're actually metaphors) are so blindingly obvious that they make me slap my forehead in disbelief. "Lights go out and I can’t be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Have bought me down upon my knees Oh I beg, I beg and plead Singing Come out of things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head And a trouble that can’t be named A tiger’s waiting to be tamed" That's just one line after another of pure banality. And "Amsterdam" is one of my favorite Coldplay songs, but I try not to think too much about what he's actually singing: "Come on, my star is fading And I swerve out of control If I, if I’d only waited I’d not be stuck here in this hole Come here my star is fading And I swerve out of control And I swear I waited and waited I’ve got to get out of this hole" It's so generic that it becomes completely meaningless. Rather than think of this as a huge negative thing, however, I prefer to think about how talented a melodist Chris must be to make those songs really moving. :D
June 3, 200521 yr i think he focus more on if it fits the song, not what the actual lyric is. it's like trying to write a poem in 5th grade and all the syllables have to match. anyway yeah, i don't think anyone is actually reading this so i'm done.
June 3, 200521 yr Chris Martin is the king of good music. Chris Martin makes the beste lyrics and are the best singer in the hole wide world!! But if you dont agree, your noot a real Coldplay fan! :P But you dont have to make good lyrics to do a great song.. norwegian's best rock band turbonegro, they have the worst text ever but the music is killing!!
June 3, 200521 yr Reilly' date=' if you are as smart and important as your pretend to be, how can you possibly have enough time on your hands to perpetually be on the message board of a band you don't like?[/quote'] SHUTUP :wacko: :lol: .....he is here because of people like you and me! :D :cool:
June 3, 200521 yr Author I appreciate all the comments, but the main criticism when this album is actually released will be the lyrics. The more I listen to this album, the more souless its content becomes. A nice melody isn't enough.
June 3, 200521 yr Has Chris Martin lost his ability to write good lyrics?... ...NO! :P [glow=red:0240530483]Agree![/glow:0240530483] :P :D
June 3, 200521 yr Chris lyrics aren't always to be taken literally, we should know that by knowing his personality! lol That line in "Swallowed by the Sea" basically means (to me) that this person would do things that are so amazing for Chris and that's when he realized what he was doing wrong. Am I the only one that gets that? It sucks that you guys read those lyrics and take them literally word for word. Look beyond what's written. This album is beautifully written.

Just you joy :wacko: Has Chris Martin lost his ability to write good lyrics?... ...NO! Agree! Well thats cleared this one up! You can all go back to your homes safely. anyway yeah, i don't think anyone is actually reading this so i'm done. Hahahahaha.
June 4, 200521 yr Okay. Chris Martin's lyrics are quite simple and easy to understand. But this is what makes them so good...they exactly express how a normal human can feel like .why 1000 metaphors that noone understands? Fe isn't the very best songwriter in the world, that's right. I'd say, maybe Bono? But (OKAY you can all start to slap me now) on the new U2 album, I find the melodies way not as good as Coldplay.
