Briggins I'm thinking that he means that he'd rather be at a point in life where things are paused with the prospect of continuing sometime in the future than to be at a complete stop full stop signifying the end of something, like its final.

The lyrics of this are a disaster.

i think the lyrics are pretty cool :dance:

And the hardest part

Was letting go, not taking part

Was the hardest part

 

Lesson: sometimes you don't need more then one word to rhyme.

 

Coldplaying songwriting efficiency at it's best.

 

The Hardest Part is better?

He should have included the word fart into the hardest part.

I picture Corkus making a parody called "The hardes fart" now.

it'd be awesome! :P

If you guys can get him to write it, I'll sing it. :awesome:

What is a generation drop anyway.

 

A teardrop, and a teardrop is a waterfall.

Martin thought a lot about that mystic connection.

i happen the love the lyrics.......

 

i believe back to what Nadia said

A so-called "lost generation" is a common phrase, most often associated with those growing up during/after WWI. Given Martin's interest in the children of Nazi Germany, "I don't want to see another generation drop" probably means that he doesn't want to see another generation erased/forgotten/etc.

 

In other words, nonsensical trash!

Every full stop is a comma! (>^__^)>

Every full stop is a comma! (>^__^)>

ur weird

Every full stop is a comma! (>^__^)>

 

Wut. :wtf:

Every full stop is a comma! (>^__^)>

 

and every question mark an exclamation hmmm :rolleyes:

I don't think the lyrics are as silly or crappy as everyone is making them out to be.

 

The lyrics mean he would rather sacrifice himself and allow the cause (anything can be the cause) to continue than be silent and afraid to speak out against injustice (full stop).

 

It's creative and quirky.

 

PLEASE OPEN YOUR MIND.

i love the lyrics :D

i love the lyrics :D

 

^^^^^^ this :dance:

You can't possibly know that. Yeah, it's your interpretation, which is fine, but you can't say that's precisely what it means unless you went and had a discussion with Chris Martin about what he meant by that, and I really don't think that situation is plausible at all.

I think, that's a joke....or at least I hope it is :uhoh:

Ionno. I certainly didn't read it as one.

I'm a guy who thinks that if you truly respect the band members you wouldn't criticize and ridicule them with ridiculous posts. I'm pretty certain these forums are read by members of the Coldplay team. Constructive criticism is just fine, you don't like the song... I get it...but constant ridicule isn't constructive.

 

I'm sorry your job is trite and pointless. The world awaits your superior songwriting ability with pure anticipation....

 

oh give it a rest. Briggins is cool.

I would agree with that interpretation :nice:
