You are right, but according to Q magazine's review of Mylo Xyloto, they are also lyrics to Up With the Birds. Interesting..

I really agree with you that he might say "slowly died" and not "slowed down" or "slowed way down." I have thought it was probably "died" since the first time i heard it, glad someone else hears it too. In the second verse after "This time I know no song" I still really feel like it is "Can stop it's lonely burn.....Can stop it's lonely burn." It sounds right to me, plus it seems to be the only thing that makes sense.

Looking at that makes me somewhat depressed. I can't figure out why they would release so many songs before the album is released. I'm counting songs they played at festivals as being "released". So those of us who have been keeping up with the festivals will have 3 songs and 2 instrumentals to look forward to, that we haven't already heard that is. Of course we will get to hear studio versions of the festival songs, but still, just a little depressing.

If you listen closely you can hear that he says burn, not down. Also I feel like everyone thinks these lyrics are so bad because everyone has them wrong on here, making them not really make any sense.

I am actually thinking that the verse could be like this: So it's over As time flyin' on This time I know no song Can stop its lonely burn Can stop its lonely burn The "can" is really subtle. Let me know what you all think.

Could this verse be something like this: So it's over As time flyin on This time I know no song Can stop its slowly burn Can stop its slowly burn Just what I hear when I listen, I know if this is correct "slowly" doesn't really fit and should just be "slow" but it really sounds like it is what he says if you listen to this recording...[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q60WdWLAUtU&feature=related]Up in Flames Coldplay - Live Debut 09/15/2011 ACL Taping - YouTube[/ame]
