Has anyone else noticed the Peter Pan references in both Major Minus and Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown: "Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet” (lost boys = boys who fall out of their prams when the nurse isn't looking)

Major Minus: "I hear those crocodiles ticking around the world” (In Peter Pan, Captain Hook is followed around by a crocodile who ate his arm and a clock).

What could this mean?

^ official? those lyrics aren't all correct :thinking:

Which is why I won't be satisfied with any lyrics until coldplay.com gives them to us :dozey:

YES! I thought i was the Only one! Love the hidden meanings In songs. I have a feeling that this new record will feel like were listening inside of a Cartoon World. A magical place where anything can happen! :D

^ your sig and username :p

I always thought it was "we'll run wild", but today I listened to the Pinkpop audio and I heard: We'll run riot

and at the end: We saw an innocent riot

 

That probably doesn't make any sense :shrug:

I heard that too :inquisitive:

 

 

I bet an 'innocent riot' is a reference to the White Rose theme they seem to be carrying. A bunch of innocent people are being prejudiced against for no reason so they're fighting back?

Great, I'm not the only one who heard it ;)

And it ends with: It was/is all an innocent riot instead of we saw an innocent riot.

'It was all an innocent riot' I like it! :awesome:

 

Now to decipher the lyrics to the rest of the songs :confused:

I might not be a genius but I'm sure that the word form "we'll run *" and "innocent *" are the same. But I'm not convinced that it's a riot.

Oh and it seems to me that he sings "So it's aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAaaall".

I think i got it now.

 

Oooooohhhh

 

I stole a Key,

I took a Car downtown where the Lost boys meet,

I took a Car downtown and took what they offered me,

To set me free,

I saw the Lights go down at the End of scene,

I saw the Lights go down and standing in front of me

 

Oooooohhhh

 

My scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the Concrete,

Be a Cartoon Heart,

Light a fire up on the Spot,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart,

We're on Riot,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark,

glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh ahhhhh

 

All the Boys, all the Girls,

All that matters in the World,

All the Boys, all the Girls,

All the Madness that occurs,

All the Highs, all the Lows,

As the Room is spinning Ohhhhh,

We're on Riot,

start glowing in the Dark

 

so we start an innocent riot,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark

Charlie Brown

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

My scare cold dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete,

Be a cartoon heart, yeah

Light a fire by the smoke

Light a fire, a flame in my heart,

We run riot,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark, Ouuuuu

glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh Ouuuuuuuu ahhhhh

 

All the Boys, all the Girls,

All that matters in the World,

All the Boys, all the Girls,

All the Madness that occurs,

All the Highs, all the Lows,

As the Room is spinning go ,

We run riot

start glowing in the Dark

 

So we saw an innocent riot

We’ll be glowing in the Dark

i like foxeh's better i like the scarecrow dream's

i like foxeh's better i like the scarecrow dream's

 

But its probably "We run Riot" as he said i had to choose either "We're on Riot" or "We run Riot" xD

i like foxeh's better i like the scarecrow dream's

 

hey that's fine, I'm just not hearing scarecrow I hope we'll soon find out :dance:

My scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I’ll be a bright red rose combusting the Concrete,

Be a Cartoon Heart,

Light a fire up on the Spot,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart, sounds more like 'light a fire for you in my heart´ to me?

We're on Riot,

We’ll be glowing in the Dark,

glowing in the dark, oooohhhhh ahhhhh

I dont think so i can clearly hear "Flame"

I stole the key,

And took a car downtown where the lost boys meet;

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the endin' scene,

I saw the lights go down and (they're) standin' in front of me

 

My scarecrow dreams,

When they smash my heart into smithereens,

I'll be a bright red rose combustin' the concrete;

Be a cartoon heart

 

Light a fire, by the smoke

And light a fire, flame in my heart

We'll run wild,

We'll be glowin' in the dark

 

We'll be glowin' in the dark

 

All the boys, all the girls,

All the madness in the world

All the boys, all the girls,

All the madness that occurs

All the highs, all the lows

As the room is spinnin', oh

We'll run wild/they'll run riot (depends on the version),

And start glowin' in the dark

 

So we saw all the madness in the world;

We'll be glowin' in the dark

 

 

Madness? This is Coldplay!

As the room is spinnin', oh

 

Actually, I hear something like As the _____ spinning gold

 

I'm probably wrong, but I definitely hear a "g" in there. This is possibly a reference to the "Rumplestiltskin" fairytale, in which a girl is forced to spin gold out of straw.

 

Probably way off, but that's what I hear.

Perhaps "As the girl is spinning gold"?

Perhaps "As the girl is spinning gold"?

 

Makes sense.

It does, but he is not singing girl there. But "spinning gold" is right, I think.

But i seriously dont hear a "Girl" or "Gold" there.

The 'gold' part could be right, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't sing 'girl' it sounds more like 'room' or 'moon'
