what is the song AROBTTH about??

Featured Replies

I have been looking at the lyrics to A Rush of Blood to the Head, and I have no idea what this song is about. :sad:

 

What does everyone out there think?

Thanks for the help.

no just because one line says something about war doesnt mean thats what it is about ithink its about revenge against evil doings :roll:

WHen I hear the song I get the idea that's it's about a man (lets call him Chris) and his girl (lets say Gwen). It's about how Chris gets revenge on the people that used to bully Gwen around, and he gets killed trying to get revenge. And when all the people ask Gwen why Chris would just go out and start destroying stuff, Gwen blames is all upon a rush of blood to the head. That's just what I think.

I always thought this song was about anti-violence myself... Chris is obivously politically active, and he doesn't exactly agree with what is going on... but seriously, who could? :-o

I think that AROBTTH is about doing something without thinking about it and effecting what others think about you because of it *ie a girl perhaps* and the person that has done it may have only done it to impress the girl.

 

Then in the middle of the song when "Start as you mean to go on..." is said he is thinking about putting things right and not making the mistake again.

 

Finally the only thing he can blame his actions on is "A rush of blood to the head"

 

and at the end the mistakes dissapear "...and I know the mistakes that I make, see it all disappear without trace"

 

and it is only when they will "meet me at the bridge" that everything will be fine again and the mistakes will be in the past...

 

***But this is only my personal opinion***

I think its like consipiring against someone...

I always looked at it as a love and anti-war song. Chris just combined the two topics into one song. :/

hey i love that pic in your avatar!! where u got it from? i havent seen it yet :o :stunned:

I found it in a thread on the official board, but I know its in the Coldplay forum, too, on here.

I think its in the "post your Favorite pics of Coldplay", or something like that. :lol:

:lol:

emmmmmmmmm

about anthing :lol: :cool: :rolleyes: :)

what it means

 

I thought AROBTTH was about drug use .... and that someone OD'd and the person who cared for them burned down the crack house or whatever in honor of the person who OD'd, but then again .. that's my opinion :o

I think it's about losing your mind and get angry fast - like your blood go straight to your brain

even though Chris couldn't control himself when he attacked the photographer :/
