November 9, 201510 yr It kind of sounds like "to father" but with a British accent so like "to fatha." That would fit with the whole Apple and Moses thing. I doubt it, it would be weird.... And at every 4th repeat it adds "magic, magic", right ?
November 9, 201510 yr Author And at every 4th repeat it adds "magic, magic", right ? Thats what I hear, but it doesn't quite make sense in context of the rest of the song
November 9, 201510 yr I think it would make sense, throughout the song Chris says "Turn your magic on..."
November 9, 201510 yr Author I think it would make sense, throughout the song Chris says "Turn your magic on..." oh shit, i fuked up, youre right, lol
November 9, 201510 yr since that's what the song was originally called? From where do you have that information ?
November 9, 201510 yr Author From where do you have that information ? think it was a misunderstanding from another thread where someone said it. But it was an accident and was the wrong info
November 9, 201510 yr From where do you have that information ? According to bassist Guy Berryman, the track “started as a freeform musical session and was called something else, Legends or something. It had a different chord sequence and different hooks and one-by-one things were taken away and things got added.” Link: http://www.qthemusic.com/12811/coldp...of-a-lifetime/
November 9, 201510 yr Ah interestting. So it seems to be a true story then ? Nevertheless, I hear "magic" rather than "legend" there...

November 9, 201510 yr So now we know. Its Chris' voice in the riff (the strange vocals) and Stargate edited and revamped it to make it sound like that. Wow 10/10 Stargate
November 9, 201510 yr but wtf is he sayingggggggg, lol I was trying to decipher what Chris was saying it was on the interview, but I couldn't figure it out....

November 10, 201510 yr but wtf is he sayingggggggg, lol I was trying to decipher what Chris was saying it was on the interview, but I couldn't figure it out.... magictodat shidorap shidorap badawhup yo dudes, you just hear voice samples, SNIPPETS, probably tiny pieces of the song lyrics. Meaningless things.
November 10, 201510 yr This is what I got from a Korean promotional video of them performing.[ATTACH]32872[/ATTACH][ATTACH]32873[/ATTACH][ATTACH]32874[/ATTACH]
November 10, 201510 yr Author 'We are omen' kinda proves they just went online and looked it up (incorrectly).
November 10, 201510 yr i didn't rate the lyrics much at all except the Under this pressure, under this weight We are diamonds but there are a couple of really inspired snippets there. too bad they get lost in the mediocrity of the repetitions. but after listening to the radio x interview yesterday, i'm loving this verse. there are some feminist undertones there. Said I can't go on, not in this way I'm a dream, I die by light of day Gonna hold up half the sky and say, "Only I own me" edit: to me, it fits if this verse is said by the woman rather than the man. that's what i'm interpreting it as anyway.

Yeah, kind of fits with that book Chris was reading about empowering women.
November 10, 201510 yr Yeah, kind of fits with that book Chris was reading about empowering women. yeah, making that connection makes me appreciate the song considerably more.
