Up In Flames Lyrics

Don't think that we can seriously consider the lyrics. We have to see them in context with the song and with the storyline behind.

Yes, I think you're right, it's a concept album so let's wait.

It would be nice then to create a thread when the album comes out and put all the lyrics of the songs together so we can read the story ;)

can we pour some water on? :bigcry:

September 18, 201114 yr

I think they are referring "slow down" to the "up in flames" they slow the Flames down with water.

us against the world reference:

slooooooooooooooow it down

September 20, 201114 yr

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
You tasted it too long
I put it on
Once it starts

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down

So it's over
As time flyin' on
This time I know your song
Stop and slowed way down
Stop and slowed way down

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowed way down
Oh, we have slowed way down

Can we pour some water on...?

Could this verse be something like this:

So it's over

As time flyin on

This time I know no song

Can stop its slowly burn

Just what I hear when I listen, I know if this is correct "slowly" doesn't really fit and should just be "slow" but it really sounds like it is what he says if you listen to this recording...[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q60WdWLAUtU&feature=related]Up in Flames Coldplay - Live Debut 09/15/2011 ACL Taping - YouTube[/ame]

I think i already figured the Lyrics out.

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone,
It's all over...,
You tasted it too long,
pour it on, (?)
Once it starts...

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowed it down...

So it's over,
It's time flying on,
This time I know your song/son,
Stop and slow it down,
Stop and slow it down...

Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
We have slowed it down...,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Up in flames,
Oh...slow it down,
Oh, slow it down..

Could we pour some water on?

I am actually thinking that the verse could be like this:

So it's over

As time flyin' on

This time I know no song

Can stop its lonely burn

The "can" is really subtle. Let me know what you all think.

September 21, 201114 yr

The last lyric sounds like "You're impossible to love."

Edit: Nvm, i hear pour some water on now. :P

September 21, 201114 yr

I think this could be the second verse:

So it's over

It's time to flying on

This time I know no song

Can stop it slowing down

September 21, 201114 yr

I think this could be the second verse:

So it's over
It's time to flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop it slowing down
Can stop it slowing down

If you listen closely you can hear that he says burn, not down. Also I feel like everyone thinks these lyrics are so bad because everyone has them wrong on here, making them not really make any sense.

September 28, 201114 yr

This is what i hear the lyrics as, not saying they're correct folks!!!

So it's over,

This time I know it's gone,

Salt water there,

You tasted it to long.

Only know i'm wrong,

Once it stung.

Up in flames,

We have slowly died.

So it's over,

It's time flying on,

This time I know no song,

Can stop it slowly burn,

Can stop it slowly burn.

Up in flames,

We have slowly died,

Up in flames,

We have slowly died,

We have slowly died.

Can we pour some oil around...

and here is a complimentary smiley :)

I really agree with you that he might say "slowly died" and not "slowed down" or "slowed way down." I have thought it was probably "died" since the first time i heard it, glad someone else hears it too. In the second verse after "This time I know no song" I still really feel like it is "Can stop it's lonely burn.....Can stop it's lonely burn." It sounds right to me, plus it seems to be the only thing that makes sense.

This what I've been hearing:

So it's over, this time I know it's gone

Salt water, you've tasted it too long

Would you know why I'm wrong

Once it stung

Up in Flames, Up in Flames

Up in Flames

We have slowly burned

So it's over, this time we're fly'n on

This time I know no song

can stop it slowly burn

Up in Flames, Up in Flames

Up in Flames

We have slowly burned

Up in Flames, Up in Flames

Up in Flames

Oh we have slowly burned

Can we pour some water on

October 9, 201114 yr

I'm fairly confident these are the lyrics:

So it's over,

This time I know it's gone.

Salt water.

You tasted it too long.

Pour it on my heart.

Once it stung.

Up in Flames

Up in flames

We have slowly burned.

So it's over

This time flying on

This time I know your song

Stop and slowly burn.

Up in flames

We have slowly burned

Up in flames

Oh, we have slowly burned.

Can we pour some water on?

October 10, 201114 yr

possibly 'this time i know your sunk'?

2 weeks later...

October 18, 201114 yr

I think the phrase might be, "we have slowly gone." Especially since the saying is usually going up in flames, this makes sense to me.

October 19, 201114 yr

This is the correct version I think. I'm not even English and yet I hear this:

So it's over,

This time I know it's gone.

Salt water.

You tasted it too long.

I only know why I'm wrong.

Now I know it's gone.

Up in Flames

We have slowly gone.

So it's over

This time you're flying on

This time I know no song

could stop it slowly burn.

Up in flames

We have slowly gone.

Up in flames

Oh, we have slowly gone.

Can we pour some water on?

Almost 100% it's the right interpretation!

October 20, 201114 yr

heres my take...

So it's over,

This time I know it's gone.

Salt water.

You tasted it too long.

I only know why I'm wrong.

Now I know it's gone.

Up in Flames

We have slowly gone.

So it's over

This time you're flying on

This time I know no Sun

could stop it slowly burn.

Up in flames

We have slowly gone.

Up in flames

Oh, we have slowly gone.

Can we pour some water on?

October 21, 201114 yr

You did well! The second "So it's over' bit is slightly different according to the lyric sheet in my Japanese copy:

So it's over

This time you're flying on

This time I know no song

Can stop its lonely burn

Can stop it slowly going

Up In Flames

etc

October 24, 201114 yr

Lyrics from the Japanese release lyric booklet:

So it's over

This time I know it's gone

Salt water

Tasted it too long

I only know I'm wrong

Now I know its gone

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

So it's over

This time you're flying on

This time I know no song

Can stop its lonely burn

Can stop it slowly going

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

Up in flames

We have slowly gone

Oh, We have slowly gone

Can we pour some water on?

October 24, 201114 yr

Yeah, it's clearly "Up in flame we have slowly gone."

AMDB9 · June 1, 20188 yr

So.....I made a big mistake..... There have been a lot of spam threads lately, and I was going through deleting them all, and I accidentally deleted the original 'War of the Coldplay Songs' thread which had over 50,000 posts. I feel very very very bad about it. I thought I undeleted it before it was too late, but apparently I did not. @I ran away was the last to post in the original thread with the songs: Chinese Sleep Chant vs. 1.36 Let me continue that with: Chinese Sleep Chan

After the original thread was closed most of the discussion of the leaks moved into the Moon Music thread or the leak lyrics thread, neither of which are really suitable for talking about the leaks in general. While the mods did promise to reopen the original thread once they'd gone through and cleaned it up, I'm not sure of when or if it'll be reopened so for now I thought it would be best to start a new thread for the leaks so we can keep the other threads more on topic.

If Coloratura Had a Music Video?

Doomotron · May 30May 30

What might it be like? The lyric video is nice but I would have loved to see Coldplay attempt a music video for it. It's not unusual for songs as long as Coloratura to have music videos - Blackstar by David Bowie had a great one - but usually they're larger in scope because of the length of the song. I'd like to think something along the lines of Up&Up's video would work. But or course that's already been done, and very well. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Blasphemy 7. What If 8. Echo My Name (I Can't Believe Your Gone) 9. X&Y 10.The Hardest Part 11.Deja Vu I'm not sure what to believe... :huh: But the title 'Fury' does make me curious.
