I ran away Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think it would make sense, throughout the song Chris says "Turn your magic on..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryar90 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Could it be "legend, legend" since that's what the song was originally called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc90 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryar90 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Ah interestting. So it seems to be a true story then ? Nevertheless, I hear "magic" rather than "legend" there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xylobryte98 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gai Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 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.
