| Coldplay – Swallowed in the Sea Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song immediately stood out in my mind as a way to express the hardships of all those affected by the tsunami. The lyrics do sound personal, between one person and another of a close relationship, but several lines reflect events from the natural disaster in january. In the third stanza, chris uses the words "shook" as an earthquake, "lost and found" and of course the title "swallowed in the sea". I'd like to think that this song is a bit of a pray for those that were swallowed by the sea that day. Chris shows a lot a socio/religio/political emotion in his songs and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he does it here again. like always, every song means something different to everyone... |

| Coldplay – Fix You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think this song is one written to Apple from Chris. It is saying, "if you are ever down on your luck or if you are sad and feel broken, you can come home and i will fix you or may you feel better" It sounds like a little condescending when he says "i will try to fix you". This would sound a bit odd to say this to a friend or lover. But if this song holds a special place in ur heart for another reason, I'm sure chris wouldn't be offended. Apparently, chris dedicated this song to his daughter at a concert as well...just a thought.... Each record has 3-4 unbelieveable songs amidst a handful of awesome songs and this is definately one of the unbelievable ones for X&Y. |
