prjio307 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 What do you mean, the lyrics as I've posted them are ones I've been tweaking over time and made my final corrections with the letterman concert as the vocals are easier to make out with that performance which was then my second post. I have also checked the lyrics with other concerts and they still seem correct. I'm not only talking about "Us Against the World" but most of the songs they've played in general. The lyrics have slightly changed here and there in different performances. Specifically "Charlie Brown" and "Hurts Like Heaven". I don't think they varied "Us Against the World" much, if at all, throughout its different performances, but the live lyrics may still end up differing from the official studio version's. Just something to keep in mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainloafers Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm sure the lyrics in my second post are 100% if you compare them with the letterman performance. Looks good to me. The roses in the rain line is spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjio307 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Looks good to me. The roses in the rain line is spot on! Yeah I'm pretty sure that post is the definitively correct lyrics. At least as they have been performing it. I'm not expecting any surprises on the album version outside of it being a bit less stripped down.

Chris594 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Last fixes from the studio version: Oh morning, Come bursting The clouds amen Lift off this blindfold, let me see again And bring back the water let your ships roll in In my heart she 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 want to be there when the lightning strikes And the saints go marching in And sing Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Like a river to a raindrop I lost a friend My drunken has 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 And 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 and see roses in the rain Sing Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down Through chaos as it swirls It's 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...

Cletus Van Damme Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Am I drunken as Daniel in a lion's den? I know there's an extra "uh" syllable before Daniel, but he does the same thing a moment late before "lift off before trouble.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBou Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Having listened to this one for about a day now, I find the moment where he repeats "erodes us in the rain" and then transforms it into "and see roses in the rain" is just fantastic - great lyrics on this one though still not quite sure in what sense a Daniel in a lion's den is drunk...

wheeler97 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Oh morning, come bursting, the clouds, they break, Lift off this blindfold, let me see again, Bring back the water, let your ships roll in, In my heart she 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 marching in, And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down, Through chaos as it swirls, It's us against the world, Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend, I'm 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 before trouble just erodes us in the rain, Just erodes us in the rain, Just erodes us, city roses in the rain, And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down, Slow-ow-ow-ow it down, Through chaos as it swirls, It's 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...

ColdplayIsTheBomb.Com Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Pretty sure these are the lyrics "Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, Amen. Lift off this blindfold, let me see again And bring back the water, let your ships roll in. In my heart she 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 want to be there when the lightning strikes And the saints go marching in And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend My drunkard is 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 and see roses in the rain Sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down Oh Slow-ow-ow-ow 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" Heart-breakingly beautiful song <3 :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayIsTheBomb.Com Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 So... can someone explain me this simile? "Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend" :confused: I think it sort of means he lost a friend because the friend got sort of swept away, like a raindrop in a river.....but that's just guess :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li_cold Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 ^ that`s a good guess I would say :) what about "My drunken hazard Daniel in a lion's den", guys?

Fabodabo31 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 its "see roses in the rain" because if you look at the mylo xyloto full pic(with the 9 tiles) on the left side it says in big letters "see roses in the rain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinnoh Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I think it sort of means he lost a friend because the friend got sort of swept away, like a raindrop in a river.....but that's just guess :) Yes I also thought that, but then I think "like a raindrop to a river" would have suited better! That's why I can't really work it out...:thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I can't really work it out...:thinking: It does seem that way....but in all their interviews when someone asks them what certain songs mean they always say you should figure it out for yourself, and it can mean what you want it to mean.
