Lyric discussion by beulah 

Coldplay don't put their lyrics in the album sleeves because they want the listeners to analyse and figure out what each song means through what they hear. Not the lyrics. That's what they say on their website. I prefer that. Bravo Coldplay. Awesome song. I think it's about people seeing the negatives of life instead of trying your best to find what you're looking for. I have a friend like that. She is so F'ing annoying when she's like that. Negative people piss me off.

yes exactly, imo the sound posesses the meaning, and lyrics are simply overrated. but maybe im wrong because im always misinterpreting the lyrics half the time. great song though.
