Coldplay – Animals Lyrics 20 years ago
The song has been played a lot live too, and the lyrics ARE different most of the time, depending on which recording you're listening to. The studio version that I have has different lyrics too.
For those interested:

Animals we are
Disposable, collapsible and raw
In you go
Into some crowded room
And animals that climb
And they’re climbin’ over you until you say
off you go, off you go

Animal I am
And I’m looking for an answer just like you
But I should know
Which way to turn
An animal that runs
and I ran away from you because I’m scared
now off you go, off you go

But if you're gonna go, go now
And if you're gonna go, go now
I forgot to tell you how
So If you gonna go, go now

Animal you are
Disposable, defenseless yes and
Watch your mouth, boys
Watch your mouth
An animal that runs
And I made all my excuses to you
And I missed my chance by a stone struck

And you're gonna go, go now
And if you're gonna go, go now
I forgot to tell you how
So if you gonna go, go now
Go now x3

One, two

And I crumble, crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
I crumble, crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble, crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble, crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal

There are a lot of different versions of this song, which goes for the lyrics too. Looks to me these are from the live performances. The studio version that I have has other lyrics aswell.

Coldplay – Such a Rush Lyrics 20 years ago
Great song, too bad ALL the songs from the Blue Room EP didn't end up on the Parachutes album.
It's a critique on society and the somewhat useless spiral of living that keeps getting back to the same point: making money, working, making money, working. I totally agree with 'whoever', it's like the whole song has been pushing towards the outburst.

Coldplay – Crests of Waves Lyrics 20 years ago
I agree with DMZ. And from what I hear, it's 'longing to be saved', which is more correct if you look at the context of the song. (It's quite obvious to me that he sings that, but okay.)
In my opinion it's a nice Coldplay song, a bit too repeating but what the hell. The meaning however isn't entirely clear to me, I suppose it's more about the message than the actual words.

Coldplay – I Ran Away Lyrics 20 years ago
I think his is a great song from Coldplay, even though it's not on both albums. Shows that B-Sides can be pretty good too! To me it has a dreamy flow which takes you somewhere else.. but anyway, my view on the meaning of the song:

A guy that isn't happy with his current situation with his girlfriend. He feels himself trapped, uncomfortable, although he has nothing to be unhappy with. He wants to spit it out to her, but he just can't or won't be given the chance somehow. To everyone else, he's damn lucky to have that girl, but he doesn't feel that way. He has the need to get away from her, be free.
