UPDATE: And finally the confirmation at Coldplay.com that the single Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall will be released this Friday (between Saturday and Sunday for UK :( )!

 

 

Official Lyrics:

 

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON

I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON

MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE

I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG

 

AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT

UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE

I TURN THE MUSIC UP

I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME

AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT

 

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON

FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG

DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP

I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP

 

MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES

MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES

BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START

CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART

 

AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO

TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT

AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY

AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL

IS A WATERFALL

OH

IS A WATERFALL

OH OH OH

IS A IS A WATERFALL

EVERY TEAR

IS A WATERFALL

OH OH OH

 

SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD

BUT STILL I'LL RAISE THE FLAG

 

OH

IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL

A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL

 

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

 

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

Over the past couple of days Coldplay have been leaving cryptic posts on various social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Ping..) with videos and various GIF images containing what appear to be future lyrics of an upcoming single or song from LP5. The images and video are below

 

 

So far we have:

 

I turn the music up

I got my records on

I shut the world outside until the lights come on

 

Maybe the streets alight

Maybe the trees are gone

I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song

 

And all the kids they dance

All the kids all night

Until Monday morning feels another life

 

I turn the music up

I'm on a roll this time

and heaven is in sight

 

I turn the music up

I got my records on

From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song

Don't wanna see another generation drop

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

 

Maybe I'm in the black

Maybe I'm on my knees

Maybe I'm in the gap

Between two trapezes

 

But my heart is beating and my pulses start

Cathedrals in my heart

And we saw oh this light

I swear you, emerge blinking into to tell me it's alright

As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony

And every tear's a waterfall

 

 

UPDATE: Reversing the audio of the final video sounds like what the actual bass riff should be.. you can download here

I did download the 720p version and made screencaps tho, here they are (clickable thumbnails):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second "kids" seems to be next to "night", you can see a darker shadow in the shape of the star constellation on the right corner. :)

NO SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lyrics

Very weird! But I like it! Looking forward to more news :D

Why is there no sound...?

very very weird. no sound and presumably no hidden message.

This would've been the best track on Viva la Vida.

It looks cool. Kinda reminds me of Speed of Sound...

 

This would've been the best track on Viva la Vida.

:lol:

What the...?

The walking guy in colour is strangely addictive. Looks like the result of someone somehow transferring themselves into a lost video game world.

I think somehow there is sound, but it needs to be decoded somehow..

fdloutflyhid;ltdfltyflytdfyltdl!!!!!!!!!!1

i was so pumped for a sinppet of song :( but still anything is amazingggg!!! <3

can't wait to see what this leads to!!!

I had no idea that "on" rhymed with "on".

 

whoa

you're right. If indeed it is lyrics. Not the best Coldplay lyrics. But as always, we have to wait and see.

The lyrics sound like something Noel Gallagher would conceive.

:freak:

No sound, AHHHH. This is still exciting though.

The title of this video could be: The sound of silence (but Simon & Garfunkel made a song with that title).

Could "I turn the music up/I got my records on/I shut the world outside until the lights come on" be the album name? A-la Mew?

 

I really took my time before pushing play, thinking "this is it! new Coldplay sounds". And was kind of disappointed, even though the colourful man look cool.

"This video is unlisted. Only people with the link can see it."

 

What is this? :S

I can see it :uhoh:

"This video is unlisted. Only people with the link can see it."

 

What is this? :S

 

I don't know, but everyone already saw it :lol:

we want sound!:wink3:

 

looks like a strange hidden message? maybe the sounds are coming later

we want sound!:wink3:

 

very strange there's no sound. Why would the video last 1:01 minutes then?

 

Some seconds would have been enough...

It looks cool. Kinda reminds me of Speed of Sound...

 

 

:lol:

 

i said exactly same thing on their facebook page :) i guess is because of colours
