coldplayisawesome Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 So sentences lacking a verb make total sense to you? i think that it is probably supposed to be "maybe the street's alight," but the apostrophe wasn't put into the gif. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepa20 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 how can we even know that those phrases are actually lyrics? They could probably be, but still it's too much anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 a·light (2) adj. 1. Burning; lighted: The discarded match was still alight. 2. Illuminated: The sky was alight with millions of stars. The grammar wasn't that retarded apparently. Great job at googling an alternative meaning for the word, now wiki some information on grammar and the usage of verbs and adjectives in the English language. i think that it is probably supposed to be "maybe the street's alight," but the apostrophe wasn't put into the gif. :shrug: So, it's supposed to be "maybe the streets is alight"?! As in how a British gangster rapper would say it? It just gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainplay Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ^ :laugh4: a·light (2) adj. 1. Burning; lighted: The discarded match was still alight. 2. Illuminated: The sky was alight with millions of stars. The grammar wasn't that retarded apparently. ...if alight means "burning" then, "maybe the street is burning" sounds like english to me...

hux90 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 So sentences lacking a verb make total sense to you? Lyrics do. I can totally see this as being the answer to a question.. In a very literal example: What is the glare we can see? Maybe the streets alight [is the glare we can see] ...but then again, you're just trolling.

Coldplay3277 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Is anyone else singing the lyrics in any given tune to themselves? Though I'm not really a fan of her music, the lyrics lend themselves nicely to the tune of the chorus of 'Bron This Way' by Lada Gaga -____- Just Leave.

ColdestPlayer Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't care what they mean. I am just excited thinking that it could be hinting at some new material coming out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbals2 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well... I'm guessing that as Chris hinted that the album title would be two words starting with 'm', that the album is possibly called 'Multicolour Man' seeing as that is the video and the album is inspired by the 'white rose movement (anti-nazi)' and old style American graffiti thus pointing out anti-racism/multicolour man? And the other messages are lyrics to the song on the album called 'Multicolour Man' (as the album title is usually the title of a song on that album)...just my thinking haha :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locust7 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Maybe the answer of how the LP or the song is titled or are in front of us, and always have been... Lyrics of the song shown regard that music is the issue, could the M word be just "Music"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryswinger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Maybe the streets alight? a·light verb /əˈlīt/ (of a bird) Descend from the air and settle - a lovely blue swallow alighted on a branch Descend from a train, bus, or other form of transportation - the conductor alights to push the cable car completely around So basically the streets stepped out of a taxi. :wtf: :o i knew you were gonna love this new info hahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberryswinger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 so no one has thought about the GIF saying "Maybe the street's a light"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo. Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't know where to say it anymore, but on youtube it says that Coldplay uploaded a new video about half an hour ago :D Still private I guess, but we will see a new video today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csiew88 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 "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" sounds like a verse to me... Just that a few lines are missing, making it sound a bit odd at the moment... but if you re-arrange a few lines... "I turn the music up I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song Maybe the streets alight Maybe the trees are gone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Multicolor Music'???? :inquisitive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieProspekt Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The lyrics sound kind of childish and girly :uhoh: They may seem bad now but really we haven't actually heard them yet. They probably won't sound that stupid in the song we're all so eager to hear more about. :smoking: Ah and I know this is a horrible thing to bring up... but the lyrics kinda remind me of this song...

FJK_12 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Coldplay are going very radiohead here - cryptic messages, mysterious videos etc... I am also starting to think that the speedman picture is going to be the album cover. They are using it as their profile picture so it must be important. I'm sure that the lyrics will fit into the song well though. I do quite like I turn the music up I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on I don't know what to think about all this, its all a bit weird and un-coldplayish. I kind of want the old coldplay back i.e. before VIVA, but I'm open to what they've got in store for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 judging what we've seen until now - I don't think the boys are really going back to Parachutes-style with this album! It actually seems they're talking VIVA-style to a whole new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
