I don't get what's so bad about "You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me". To be honest, I have no idea what that even means, kinda like most of the coldplay songs...(lights will ignite your bones?!? and what the heck do the lyrics of SoS mean?!?!)... but I still love them all- the whole package with the music and his voice makes it all really good.

I love the lyrics in swallowed in the chorus and in the end... i actually understand them :)

see, i get speed of sound. i get 'lights will ignite your bones'. i DON'T get how someone cutting down a tree and bringing it back to him made him see anything. i don't understand the lyric at all.

Maybe he and Gwynneth had a fight during Christmas about whether they should use a real tree or a fake one (me, I'm all about the fake ones as they don't leave a mess and it's cheap). Chris wanted a fake one and Gwynneth wanted a real one. But when she brought a tree home, he realized what he's been doing wrong.

 

Okay, there.

I think this song sucks balls. Warning Sign is so much better.
