Coldplay – Murder

General CommentWow. This song is just the epitome of paranoia!

By the way, these lyrics are wrong, these are the correct ones taken from coldplay.com:

Murder coming to get us
Yeah coming to get us and away we hide
Murder, see it all around us
See it all around us
And away we hide

Murder coming to get us
They're coming to get us
And away we hide
Away we hide

Tie me to a tree
Tie my hands above my head
Sing a song to me
Sing a song like what you said

And they're gonna murder me
They're gonna take me down
Even before I sleep
I cry murder

Come spit at us
Come and throw your weight around
Come and fight with us
Try and knock us to the ground

'Cause they're gonna murder me
They're gonna take me down
Even before I sleep
I scream murder
Murder

Oh now what can it possibly gain?
Oh what can it possibly gain?
Oh now what can it possibly gain?
Oh yeah what can it possibly gain?

Cry murder, murder
I cry murder

Murder I'm coming to get us
I'm coming to get us
And away we hide
Murder, see it all around us
See it all around us
And away we hide
Murder coming to get us
It's coming to get us
And away we hide
Murder, see it all around you
See it all around you
And away we hide

General CommentWhat a haunting song. I mean, the progression is just uncommon and minor and sad. This song twists my insides and makes me wish I was tied to the front of a boat as the waves broke against my body...
About what he means... I really don't know. Maybe he got into some serious trouble and people were coming after him and his partner in crime (coming to get us).
Ok, let me listen to this song and soar wingless off the edge off my castle of pain.

General CommentI haven't listened to this song enough to really understand the meaning of the song, but it's one of my favorites. The melody is lovely and Chris' voice just adds the flavor to make it nice, rich blend.

General CommentI feel that i can really understand what the song is about.
Is about when you got the feeling in the air, wherever you are/go, that something bad is going to happen to you soon, like a premonition.
so theres a line that says: "oh what could it possible be " ?
He cant have calm cause he knows something very bad is about to happen soon.

General CommentI think it's about having to face the consequences of your actions in general, and authority in particular. He alters between fear ("I crumble down"), confrontational anger ("Come and fight with us"), and asking for consolation and succour ("Sing a song to me"). Overall, he can't face it, so he continues running and hiding even though he has no hope.

General CommentI think this song is about our oblivion to the destruction and evil around us in the world.

I feel like it's a song about how people who are different get murdered by media and negative comments
