I'll start before I can stop

can you hear that sound?

And birds go flying at the speed of sound...

The (birds) they sang, break of day

it could bend or it could break

Could it be worse ?

Nothing could be better

you better lie low

And here I lie on my own in a separate sky

 

One of the, if not the saddest Coldplay lyric ever written. Really the whole song is so melancholic and beautiful, I like to think of the "Poppyfields" section as the "everything is okay" part since I always tear up listening to this song, and something about the guitar there makes everything seem okay...

Tell me you love me, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me

 

About Poppyfields: to me, this section sounds like Sunday bells ringing over the former battlefields, on which poppies are now growing. As in, it is peace now and life goes on and the poppies and other plants grow over the fields were blood was once shed, and the wounds slowly begin to heal. It's like giving closure to something that has happened.

 

Oh my, writing that just brought tears into my eyes. Why am I so sensitive :-/

tell me your secrets and ask me your questions

 

And here I lie on my own in a separate sky

got to find yourself alone in this world ;)

Night turns to day and I still have my questions

Tell me you love me, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me

Very descriptive! It definitely feels like that too. Good job of explaining it.

And don't worry, it's okay. I'd likely be tearing up if I wrote stuff like that too, in fact I'm coming close thinking about what you wrote. It's not an easy subject to think about. I don't blame you. :)

 

At night they would go walking, 'til the breaking of the day

(Would) you taaake meeee toooooo ?

Take us or leave us...

 

Who knew it would take so long to find such a simple word in a Coldplay song...

(Leave) a light, a light on

On and on, you're told which side you're on

let's take a breath, jump over the side

"And one, two, and one, two, three, jump !" :D

One, two, three, Will :P

And I will try to fix you

when something is broken and you try to fix it

You can take a picture of something you see

Look up and you see birds

We're all fugitives, (look) at the way we live
