I don't know if I'm reading way too much into it, but I was looking through the PDF of the lyrics for GS just now and I noticed that a few seemed to have lines that almost linked back to some of Coldplay's old songs. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but I'm wondering if maybe Chris was almost going back to the songs about intense love and contrasting that which how much emotional pain he's in right now because of losing the woman that he loved so much?

 

Examples: True Love - "So tell me you love me" = direct from The Scientist

Ink - "... is that I love you so" = "you know I love you so" - Yellow

And the end of Ink, whilst not being strictly related "See your stars begin to shine" just reminded me a lot of Yellow

 

I don't know, maybe I'm analysing it too much (and I know that neither of the old songs were written particularly about Gwyneth) but I just thought I'd see if anyone else saw the resemblances!

And on different songs from the new album, pieces of lyrics repeat themselves.

I think O and Up With The Birds are connected in some way too.

I thought the same :nod:

To me O is more like Death and all His Friends, being Part 1-Fly on Like DAAHF and Part 2-O like The Escapist (once we return once again to Always in my head like The Escapist returns to Lit)

I even said that I don't know why, but I think that VLVODAAHF and Ghost Stories are connected somehow.

To me O is more like Death and all His Friends, being Part 1-Fly on Like DAAHF and Part 2-O like The Escapist (once we return once again to Always in my head like The Escapist returns to Lit)

 

I would say that more than O, All Your Friends has something to do with Death and all His Friends.

Also, even though the words are a little different, "I don't care, go on and tear me apart" reminds me of "So you can hurt, hurt me bad, Still I'll raise the flag". Or even "See the arrow they shot trying to tear us apart".
