Doolittle2008 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Alright, so i just thought of this game. Pretty much what you do is think of a time in a coldplay song that they said the title to another song.Ā this applies to all b sides and unreleased too. Try to only post one or two per post so you don't steal them all lolĀ Heres one: LITII: "gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down, now my feet won't touch the ground" Strawberry swing: "cold cold water, bring me round, now my feet won't touch the ground" refrence to the song "now my feet won't touch the ground.Ā Theres plenty more.

Doolittle2008 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Lol, one more and i save the rest for you. 42:"you thought you might, be 'a ghost'" ghost story: "maybe I'm 'a ghost'' kinda obvious but reference to "a ghost" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 First post example is one of the things that really shit me about Coldplay songs sometimes. There's talking about themes more than once and there's COPY PASTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolverwin Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 On X&Y particularly the song Speed of Sound, there's this stanza:Ā "The buildings that you put up Japan and China all lit up"Ā Chris mentioned Japan and China on that song which eventually became part of song titles on the next two albums:Ā Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends - Lovers in Japan Mylo Xyloto - Princess of ChinaĀ :wink3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42Escapist Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Bump!Ā Here's a more obscure example:Ā Moses: If the sky's gonna fall, let it fall on me Low: The sky could fall, could fall on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp3176 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 you know he once said that if he could have a super power, he wanted to be able to fly.Ā A-ha! That explains Chris' thing with birds! In "Fly On" :Ā "Maybe one day I'll fly next to you" "Fly on, ride through" "Maybe one day I can fly with you"Ā These lyrics in turn seem to slightly remind of "No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground". And as you said, he said himself he wanted to be able to fly. There are numerous references in Coldplay's songs hinting of this, including:Ā "No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground (song)"The lyrics in We Never Change: "I wanna fly and never come down"The lyrics in LITII: "gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down, now my feet won't touch the ground" The lyrics in Strawberry Swing: "cold cold water, bring me round, now my feet won't touch the ground" (not exactly flying but still no feet touching the ground).The lyrics in Paradise: "In the night, the stormy night, away she flies." Mentions of birds in "Speed of Sound", and there's a song named "Up With The Birds". Also, even in Fly On as I said he mentions birds, referring back to "Up With The Birds".many, many more examples, too long to list here.Ā He seems to have a thing for wanting to be able to fly...Ā I have A Head Full Of Dreams... and one of them is to go to a Coldplay Concert :laugh4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprospekt Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The notion of flying/being up in the air is also kind of built in to the album title Parachutes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
