I'm pretty sure it's "from MY shipwerck i heard a call" ?????

 

He definetely says that. Although it makes no sense.

He definetely says that. Although it makes no sense.

 

Makes more sense than from a shipwreck. The ship is a metaphor for his life.

These lyrics are very similar to the Fix You lyrics!

Upon listening to the song a few more times, this my interpretation of the lyrics:

 

And if I lost the map

If I lost it all

Or fell into the trap

And she'd go

 

"When you're tired of racing

And you find you never left the start

Come on, baby

Don't let it break your heart"

 

Though heavily we bled

Still on we crawled

Tried to catch a cannonball

 

And so, running tired

Oh, through my veins it's flowing

From my shipwreck I heard a call

And she said

 

"When you're tired of aiming your arrows

Still you never hit the mark

Oh, even if your aims are shadows

Still we're never gonna part, aah, aah

Come on, baby

Don't let it break your heart"

 

Oh, oh oh, oh oh

Don't let it break your heart

Oh, oh oh, oh oh

Don't let it break your heart

Don't let it break your heart

I'm positive it's "burning." Not sure about the next word though, sounds like "tide" to me but that doesn't make sense.

Tired

This seems spot on.

Thanks :D I'm still not 100% sure about "even if your aims are shadows" and I think it might be "heard her call" rather than "heard a call" but other than that I'm sure these are the lyrics.

I really love these lyrics. Close to what I am hearing. Going to sing it this way until there is absolute proof otherwise... Thanks for sharing them.

"Oh, even in your aims are shadows/shallows"

Great interpretation, cheers :)

Here are the lyrics as printed in my Japanese copy: (I will try to update as many lyric threads as I can)

And if I lost the map

If I lost it all

Or fell into the trap

Then she'd call

"When you're tired of racing

And you find you never left the start

Come on baby

Don't let it break your heart"

 

Though we heavily bled

Still on we crawl

Try to catch a cannonball

And a slowly burning tide

Through my veins is flowing

From my shipwreck I heard her call

 

"When you're feeling tired of racing

Still you never hit the mark

Even in your rain and shadows

Still we're never going to part

Come on baby

Don't let it break your heart"

Thanks panicked for all your contributes. :)

Are we so deaf or are those lyrics not correct or do we hear a wrong version because he really does't sing in the last part ''When you're feeling tired of racing'' he sings ''when you're tired of aiming your arrows''.

Sometimes even printed booklet lyrics are wrong. I've seen it happen before. We will have to wait till Coldplay post the official lyrics on the recordings section of the site.

Edit of Japanese lyric booklet:

 

And if I lost the map

If I lost it all

Or fell into the trap

Then she'd call

'When you're tired of racing

And you find you never left the start

Come on baby

Don’t let it break your heart'

 

Though heavily we bled

Still on we crawl

Try to catch a cannonball

And a slowly burning tide

Through my veins is flowing

From my shipwreck I heard her call

And she sang

 

'When you're tired of aiming your arrows,

Still you never hit the mark

Even in your rains and shadows

Still we never gonna part

Come on baby

Don't let it brake your heart

Don't let it break your heart

Don't let it break your heart

didnt see the interview the other day? Of chris talking about balls of Kungfu panda 2?

:rolleyes: It happened

 

 

If possible, could you post a video or a link of that interview? If you can't, not to worry.

Love it!

Fast forward to about 5:08

I knew it was "burning tide!" :D

I don't think it says "slowly burning tide". I think it says " and a soul burning tide". I think that would make more sense. "And a soul burning tide. Through my veins it's flowing".
