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 ?

Thats what I hear, but it doesn't quite make sense in context of the rest of the song

I think it would make sense, throughout the song Chris says "Turn your magic on..."

Could it be "legend, legend" since that's what the song was originally called?

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

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.”

Ah interestting. So it seems to be a true story then ? Nevertheless, I hear "magic" rather than "legend" there...

Just went and followed it

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

magictodat shidorap shidorap badawhup

 

 

 

yo dudes, you just hear voice samples, SNIPPETS, probably tiny pieces of the song lyrics. Meaningless things.

I think it is

"too far down, too far down

too far the magic, magic"

This is what I got from a Korean promotional video of them performing.[ATTACH]32872[/ATTACH][ATTACH]32873[/ATTACH][ATTACH]32874[/ATTACH]

'We are omen' kinda proves they just went online and looked it up (incorrectly).

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.

yeah, making that connection makes me appreciate the song considerably more.
