Pseudonym Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 WHY must you turn something like this into a You sound like on of those people thing? I just asked because I wondered. I didn't need the second part of your sentence. THANKS FOR THE COMMENT. Sorry, I really didnt mean to offend you. I just got a little angry cause I have to deal with a lot of people slamming Coldplay and turning their lyrics into something theyre not. I just reacted too quickly and maybe should have read your post more carefully. And sorry if I made you believe there arent good people in the world, cuz there are.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand it. I was just suggesting that it sounded a little like it is all. Lol, this song is ironically my favorite songs. :P nah, it's alright. I'm just worried people will take it the wrong way like you did at first. :dozey: :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniea89 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's an interesting theory, and I could see how it works. But I think it's really just about sex and not being able to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- Gabriel Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I just thought it was about lust. The third verse (after the first chorus) is probably about the consequences of giving in. Or something like that. I love how boldly it breaks away from Coldplay's usual lyrical fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Where exactly did you draw the line to pedophilia in lyrics about attraction and loneliness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Great shout - the song can be about anything you want it to be about. I can relate to the 'lead me not into temptation' thing after making a few references to particularly gorgeous girls under the 'age of consent'. That sounded so wrong. Lock me up in the perv unit!

Hotplay007 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Where exactly did you draw the line to pedophilia in lyrics about attraction and loneliness? Children, pedophiles are normally lonely people. Well usually. saying Lord lead me not into temptation but its not easy when she turns you on just reminds me of men wanting little girls. lol, it was just a thought. i dunno.

StephenG Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 If you want the song to be about pedophilles feel free to make it mean so to you. My interpretation is its just sleezy. Songs arn't always moments or things but a series of lines than fit nicely together and have a mixed meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Chris writing a song from the pov of a paedophile??? Trust me that would never, ever happen, not in a million years, and even then would never make it onto an album!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplay007 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 *sigh* did you read the bottom of what I said? I KNOW CHRIS MARTIN WOULDNT EVER WRITE ABOUT PEDOPHILES! I UNDERSTAND THAT. IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE IT! DONT SLAM ME FOR MY OPINION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypclaret Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i really dont see where your coming from with this tbh. but maybe its just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 *sigh* did you read the bottom of what I said? Well then you answered your own thread title, which was 'Is Yes About Pedophiles?' And the answer, and your own answer, is 'definitely, no'!! But really any listener can take whatever they want from what they listen to. If that's what you want to ponder when you listen to Yes, then that's up to you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khabra Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i have a feeling i'm going to be slammed for this tomorrow. Looks like you were right at least somewhat. But yea after listening to the album pretty much all day, Yes can very easily be seen as being from a pedophiles POV, it probably isn't though. It makes Coldplay sound more fun if it was (in no creepified intentioned way), but I guess people take thoughts and ideas too seriously, well some of 'em. It has all the ingredients to be from a pedophiles point of view whether people like that or not, the possibility is definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapper-Dan-Man Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I thought it was just about lust. Not necessarily pedophilia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplay007 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Definitely. that was all that i was saying. it just sounded to me as if it could've been. That's all I wanted it to be. not so serious. :( i'm glad somebody understood me. i understand Chris isn't writing about pedophiles. It just... *shrugs* the lyrics is all.
