What are your favorite lyrics from the new songs/album so far?

 

I've got to say, my favorite lyrics are from a track we haven't even heard yet. It's on the album cover. :smug:

 

The two of us, we drove

A speeding ghost and a shadow

Luminous the road to the sea

We swam from the shallows

To bottle lightning’s glow

Where we’re gonna run, God only knows

Written in graffiti, in a bridge, in a park, do you ever get the feeling that your missing your mark? and "I struggle with the idea that my life isn't mine'

I also really like (most of) Charlie Brown.

 

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart

Yes, I pretty much love every new song lyrics, but my favorite is UATW. I don't know why, but I love the songs that start off with only Chris, and then gradually add the other band members, much like "Fix you", which is my favorite song by them, ever.

Hmm, maybe this. :)

All of Hurts Like Heaven is a Lyrical Orgasm (AGAIN) (I stole it from someone ^^)

haha yes!!!

Chris' lyrics have always been lame since the very first song. I'm glad it doesn't change at least :smug:

"Written in graffiti on a bridge in the park. Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?" - Hurts Like Heaven

 

"Hear those crocodiles ticking around the world. Hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking around the world." - Major Minus

 

"We are meeting for the first time can't you see? 7, 6, to 5, 4, 3! We are meeting for the first time singing this space symphony." - Moving to Mars

 

"Light a fire, from a spark! Light a fire for you in my heart." - Charlie Brown

 

Those are some that stick out for me. Not entirely sure if I got the Charlie Brown lyrics exactly right, but that's what he seems to be saying after listening to a couple different live versions.

I haven't found any lyrics worth mentioning tbh.

WAWAWAWA WATERFALL

Really touches the deepest part of my soul.

.... huh? How on earth could that be?

Very simply, none of them make me go "Wow, genius lyrics".

OP, Thanks for transcribing that! Yes its beautiful.

 

And yes,

I struggle with the idea that my life isn't mine

and

I'll be a bright red rose combusting (come busting?) the concrete

are very beautiful

Examining this cover makes my head hurt. I gotta stop!

 

I hate being colorblind. This is way too difficult! :confused:

Gonna have to agree with ya on this one. :/

I'm a songwriter, and I have to say, I'm inspired more by Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner than Chris Martin lyrically.

 

But Chris Martin has written melodies that will be etched in my heart longer than any words will.

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 it erodes us in the rain... <3
