It seems to fit what I have seen others say that it's about the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima which happened on a Monday. If you listen to all the words it makes since. :cry:
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
This fits with the lights coming from the bomg and the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone. Pretty obvious to me that it fits.
The kids dane until Monday morning until Monday comes, and heaven is in sight.
The bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945.
Personally I wish the song was about a person in life who was listening to his ipod, was in love and relized how beatiful his relationship with her was so perfect and that she could hurt him bad but wasn'g going to and if she did or decided to the song shows him having a tear greater than a waterfall which expresses how he was overwhelmed with the loss.
If this doesn't make sense to you please give me your thoughts and tell me where I am wrong.
I am a big big fan of Coldplay and am going to the concert in LA on August 3. I'm just glad it isn't on a Monday and/or August 6th which is Saturday. :confused:
