| Coldplay – Talk Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm hearing something that no one else has mentioned at all. I hear a person who has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness... something that is only going to give him maybe 6 months to live. He may have been told a week ago, but it has just sunk in and fully realizing he is going to die soon he is panicking and needs to talk to someone close, but he is all alone (he is scared about the future and doesn't know what to do). He is noting that the pictures he takes (memories) are for nothing because he will be dead and won't be able to look at them. He has so many things he wanted to accomplish before he dies (climbing a latter up to the sun, writing a song nobody has sung, or doing something that's never been done). Then he talks about the confusion that goes along with being told you are going to die soon. Maybe the missing piece to the puzzle is belief in something (like God) to make some kind of sense of why this is happening. "Tell me how do you feel" is his doctor and as they tell him why he is dying, he feels like they are speaking another language. There are no spiritual answers in the science behind death - just coldness. The last verse discusses the exerience of death itself. You don't know where you're going (ie what happens when you die), are you going to cease to exist like before you were conceived (you feel like your going where you've been before), you try to talk to people about it, but people treat you like you have the plague because no one wants to think about death (you tell anyone who’ll listen, but you feel ignored) and again, you are so confused about why this is happening to you (nothing’s really making any sense at all). In the video, the robot symbolizes death and the 3-D glasses symbolize the technology that diagnosed you. The spaceship symbolizes modern medicine trying to save your life, but in the end it is all false hope and right after you think you escaped death, the robot eats you (you die). |

| This song is saying that affimative action is creating a new kind of racism because it is unfair to people who aren't minorities. | |
| The Cars – Just What I Needed Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I would never want someone I love to bleed. To me, this is about a sociopath who wants sex from a girl, but also needs someone he can abuse. This song is sick. | |
