good point from Vincent on the downward spiral of Coldplay's lyrics. Yes they were a bit better in the past. I think my post was heavily influenced by my disappointment re the huge amount of lyrical pap in X&Y. Some of it makes me wish I didn't understand English! |

Not much of a fan of Coldplay's lyrics though I think their music is often beautiful. They come across as sub-U2: all relationship mumbo-jumbo without the redemtive power of U2's religious obsession. This song seems to be about how when you grow up you lose innocence, sense of wonder, and have to conform etc. While this loss of innocence is a shame.....there are benefits of being "part of the system"......ie the future is uncertain and connecting to someone is the only way to get through it. Just my 2 cents. |

I've always thought that line "Through the cradle of the civil war" was a lovely play on words. He seems to be talking about both geography and the civil war he's in with his marriage ending. |
