MrsMartin333 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 [*EDIT*] Us Against The World [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGlqmn2HSTk]YouTube - Coldplay- " Us Against the World " HQ Live @ Rock am Ring festival : Nürburgring, Germany[/ame] Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, they move. Lift off this blindfold, let me see again. And bring back the water that your ships will rid, in my heart, she left (alone/un-whole)* The tightrope that I'm walking, just sways and ties. The devil, as he's talking, with those angel's eyes. And I just wanna be there when the lightning strikes. (And the Saints gone, what to do?) And sing slow it down, Through the chaos as it swirls,* It's us against the world. Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend. My drunkenness isn't (beggin') in a lion's den. And tonight I know it all has to begin again, So whatever you do, Don't let go. And if we float away, Fly up to the surface, and just start again. Lift off with no trouble. Just erodes in the rain.* Just sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down. Oh slow-ow-ow-ow it down. (instrumental) Through the chaos as it swirls,* It's us against the world. Through the chaos as it swirls,* It's us against the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 99% sure that these are the real lyrics (I can't tell what it says exactly in the line with the lion's den, but everything else should be correct): Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, they break Lift off this blindfold, let me see again And bring back the water, let your ships row in In my heart you left a hole The tightrope that I’m walking just sways and ties The devil as he’s talking with those angel’s eye And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes And the saints go marching in And sing slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It’s us against the world Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend My _____ (h)as a Daniel in a lion’s den And tonight I know it all has to begin again So whatever you do, don’t let go And if we could float away Fly up to the surface and just start again And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us, just erodes us in the rain Sing slow it down Slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It’s just us against the world Through chaos as it swirls It’s us against the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMartin333 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I agree with the Erodes us in the rain actually! That sounds correct, I really couldn't make it out last night and I could of sworn it sounded like roses, but now I can hear the erodes us, I'm going to update my lyrics to that. I still have absolutely no clue with the "Lion's den" line though and that "saints one"... :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have no idea on this on :uhoh:) And tonight I know it all has to begin again So whatever you do, don’t let go And if we could float away Fly up to the surface and just start again And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us, just erodes us in the rain Sing slow it down Slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It’s just us against the world Through chaos as it swirls It’s us against the world I think that's pretty much correct, except for the part about the lion's den. Amazing song, although I think it could sound even better on piano :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilica Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd say he sang: "My drunken head's a devil in a lion's den". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeyjaws Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 At first I thought it was "be roses in the rain" but now that I'm thinking 'erodes us' I can hear it better. Makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxwatcher Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think it's "let your ships roll in" for that line. And also the line "My dunken head's a devil in a lion's den" sounds right. Everything else seems to be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he's been saying, "And I'm going to haul ass to begin again". I was thinking, "There is no way that's what he said." Thanks for the clarification, even if these are just guesses.

Mimixxx Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Pretty sure it's "drunken as a beggar in a lion's den" The lyrics to this are so beautiful, just shows what he can do when he writes from the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrmm, that one could work also! :lol: "My drunken head's a devil in a lion's den" or "I'm drunken as a beggar in a lion's den" :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dany93 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 "Daniel in a lion's den" has a lot of sense, I've found out it's a reference to the Old Testament of the Bible: In the Deuterocanonical portion of Daniel known as Bel and the Dragon, the prophet Habakkuk is miraculously transported by an angel to take a meal to Daniel while he is in the lions' den. From: Wikipedia - Daniel, the prophet Wow :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigie-J Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm doing this for all the songs, here is my interpretation ;) ... what do you think? Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, they left. Lift off this blindfold, let me see again. And bring back the water that your ships role in, in my heart you left a hole. The tightrope that I'm walking, just sways and ties. The devil, as he's talking, with those angel's eyes. And I just wanna be there when the lightning strikes. And the Saints go marchin in And sing slow it down, Through the chaos as it swirls It's just us against the world. Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend. My drunken as a Daniel in a lion's den. And tonight I know it all has to begin again, So whatever you do, Don't let go. And if we could float away, Fly up to the surface, and just start again. And Lift off people trouble. Just erodes us in the rain, Just erodes us in the rain, Just erodes us into roses in the rain Just sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down. Oh slow-ow-ow-ow it down. Through the chaos as it swirls, It's us against the world. Through the chaos as it swirls, It's us against the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Champion Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The reference is quite obvious as Daniel is one of the most important characters in the Bible. So this part has sense, but why drunken? I don't know. He didn't have anything to do with alcohol as I remember ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
