TyM218 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Lyrical content is still pretty subjective... For example, if the Every Teardrop is a Waterfall lyrics were in a song like amsterdam, you guys would still think the lyrics were amazing. I think the feel of the song has a lot to do with your perception of the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ^ I agree. I think an acoustic of ETiaW would sound great! :nice: But back to topic! :P Chris does a really good job of projecting the imagery of the song through the lyrics. When I listen to MtM, I think of lying out under the stars in dead silence. When 1:32 comes, I picture the moon rising and Jonny's solo makes me think of meteor showers.

neonhorn22 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Lyrically, I think this is a strong song. And now after hearing the song...the lyrics are epic. But, that's just my measly $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBalloon Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Coldplay - Moving To Mars Somewhere up above the stars The wreckage of a universe floats past Somewhere up above my heart A tiny little seed is sown A government is overthrown Who knows when we'll be coming home at last? And I heard it on the radio that One day we'll be living in the stars And I heard it on a TV show that Somewhere up above and in my heart They'll be tearing us apart Maybe moving us to Mars We won't see the earth again In these seconds just remain unchanged 8 to 9, 9 to 10 We are meeting for the first time We might never meet again You and me We are meeting for the first time, can't you see? 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 We are meeting for the first time Singing this space symphony They'll be tearing us apart Maybe moving us to Mars Past the satellites and stars Maybe moving us to Mars That's the Right lyrics after listening to the song. I am thinking of "We are meeting for the first time -> 2, 1 - to one; maybe Singing this space symphony" the lyrics and the music are quite fit to each other; I love the cool-old-jazz style opening [some notes are quite "shivering"], then taking off to the outspace. I feel a reappearing of "early coldplay [doesn't like some B-sides...]" in this song - floating freely in a dream atmosphere, quite imaginative. Look forward to what would happen after Moving to the Mars or not - the first meeting, the flashback of scenes before the "explosion" when Home is still Home...I think it is not necessarily a physical one - could mean a place in your heart, an existence pervasive in the universe, safe and warm, being real and true, kind too - it is about "lovemanity" connecting all.

OnlookerDelay Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Official Lyrics as released in http://www.coldplay.com/recordings.php "somewhere up above the stars The wreckage of a universe floats past" Is it just me or does it sound like Chris is saying "path" here? It's probably just the style of delivery they chose for this song... I notice also that Chris doesn't annunciate "Government" and "overthrown" very clearly either. It's understandable what he's saying, but it almost sounds like he's delivering some of the opening verses with his last bit of strength. I'm not criticizing the song for this as I think it somehow seems to fit the tenor of the song at that point. I think the music and the lyrics are brilliant.
