What was exactly the hardest part? :huh:

was letting go...not taking part?

I think its talking about a girl. The hardest part...was letting go. :/

was letting go...not taking part?

 

And I tried to sing

but I couldn't think of anything

 

Was that the hardest part too?

Yeah...

 

You left the sweetest taste in my mouth...

~you really broke my heart~

What was exactly the hardest part? :huh:

 

What are you suggesting?? :stunned:

Aaah, what a lovely song this is!

 

I heard the two drum intro and thought 'oh no'...then I heard the rest of it! Wonderful!

its an ok song, i mean not the greatest, but not terrible

the hardest part was letting go... but what about the strangest thing?

 

"waiting for that bell to ring, it was the strangest start..." I thought the song is about the end of a relationship not the beginning :huh:

:lol:

That was just too stupid.

That was just too stupid.

 

No - but your question was just TOO ambiguous!! :D

"waiting for that bell to ring, it was the strangest start..." I thought the song is about the end of a relationship not the beginning :huh:

 

A new start maybe

Maybe a look into the past, at the beginning...he talks about this a lot. Like in scientist..."Oh take me back to the start" and Speed of Sound's "Lets go flying at the speed of sound to show you how it all began".

In one review, they suggested it was about the birth and caring of his child and now, that's the only way I view the song.

 

"Was letting go not taking part"

 

Talking about the birth. Since he was not the one pushing the baby out, he was not taking part.

 

"And the strangest thing

was waiting for that bell to ring

It was the strangest start "

 

Meaning his cellphone. Waiting for it to ring so he would know that his kid was gonna be born.

 

"I could feel it go down

It is sweet I could taste in my mouth

Silver lining the clouds

Oh and I

I wish that I could work it out "

 

Talking about the joy of his child's birth and how happy he was.

 

"And the hardest part

Was letting go not taking part

You really broke my heart

 

And I tried to sing

But I couldn't think of anything

That was the hardest part "

 

Watching his wife in that pain broke his heart. He couldn't even sing, write. Note how often the album's release was delayed.

 

"Everything I know is wrong

Everything I do just comes undone

And everything is torn apart "

 

Well, that's parenting, right there. Everything you thought you knew about kids go out the window. And everything he does probably gets undone by the mother ("You're supposed to feed him at 2pm, not noon!". I think a lot of fathers can understand that.

:/ hmmm, I dunno...well thought out, but I still go with the breaking up theory

I thought the song was about losing a girl because she wants to be with another guy, and having to get on with your life while still feeling the pain of it all. Wishing he could work it all out, make things right between him and her. The hardest part was letting go of somebody he loves, because it's the right thing to do in the end.

 

atleast that's what I got from it.

I think we can all agree that there is more than one way to interpret this song, and practically every other Coldplay song. ;)

Wow :stunned: that makes sense.
