bremex Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi! I've been wanting a tattoo of the cover art from the single Clocks, the thing is... I don't really know what it means! I'll have it regardless of it, I'd just like to know what it really means/is. Help a fellow Coldplayer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The single art for Clocks is an abstract sketch of Chris, from the view being DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH him. It's kind of trippy. Here: Look on the middle kind of round part to the left. You can see a pointy nose, and eyes on either side. Do you see it? His face is dark grey, on the left middle. The part sticking out the most is his nose, and you can make out eyes on either side of that. It takes a bit of staring to see it, but you'll see! There was a pic somewhere on these forums with arrows. I'll see if I can find it, and credit the person who did it of course :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Found this on another thread: Here's the original post (I don't want to take Paulinha coldplay 's credit) :D http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4079817&postcount=18 :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yep, Ba8cc is right--it's just a rather abstract view of Chris if you were standing right beneath his chin looking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I've always seen Chris' arm in the cover, too. The highest point of the drawing to the right side of Chris' face looks remarkably similar to an arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReecyBoy42 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I figured out what the Clocks cover was with remarkable ease compared to how long I spent scratching my head at the AROBTTH album cover. Seriously, even my mum thought it was an upside-down bunny rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bremex Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hello people!! I introduce to you, my beautiful tattoo: As you can see very little, tiny few spots of ink are missing. It's almost unnoticeable, maybe some of you won't even see which ones I'm talking about. Anyway, I asked the girl not to put those ones so it'd look a bit more clean.

People have said that it's a butterfly, a fairy, a bat, a heart, a penis, boobs, random ink, etc etc etc. When I ll them it's a Coldplay tattoo their faces go "whaaa?" I LOVE IT!!!
