A decent closer. Its an uplifting song that follows Don't Let it Break Your Heart (that song details the breakup fallout). The lyrics are actually lifted from a Leonard Cohen song in places and while it bothers me just a little the amount of 'borrowing' they do on this album this is the successful one. Princess of China and Teardrop failed, but this was pretty beautiful. |

Honestly this song is garbage. Rihanna sounds out of place here and Chris isn't trying. The lyrics involve too many oh oh oh's and lalala's to count as lyrics. Its bland. The song is about the breakup of the main 2 characters in the story on this concept album, but this is about the biggest travesty of a song they've released so far. I'm all for growth and development, but drowning your music in synth, grabbing someone more popular than you, and adding a bunch of nonsense syllables to fill out gaps is ridiculous. Come on guys, the rest of the album was ok, this was trash. You're better than this Coldplay. You're better than this. |

About two people who left a relationship trying to comfort each other. One left the other to pursue revolution. The male I think. Anyway, they're trying to keep each other from suffering after the breakup. I think they stay apart though, no more relationship for them. |

Song about the end of a relationship and the feelings you get from it. Great song, but the electric bass drum kick hurts it. The live version didn't have it and it really helped. On this album I think they threw in electronics in songs like this just to throw them in. |

I think the lyrics are a bit off but the overall meaning has been maintained.Its a gem from the awful music that's been released from this album so far. This song discusses the main characters separation as the male character discusses being left by the female and how no matter what its the two of them against everything. |

Not bad lyrically other than the frustratingly repetitive chorus but the sound is big and over-produced to me. I love Coldplay dearly but I'm not a worshiper, and they have done nothing to inspire me in this track. The meaning seems to be innocence and loss, seeing as how she lost the world and so she escapes to paradise in her dreams to compensate for the disappointment. Seems to be the female main character in this concept album narrative but overall I dunno about this. Oh, and yes it may tie together but its deuchy to reference your songs in another song. Ugh |

| Coldplay – Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
The song emphasizes the significance of small things when you're in a certain situation. The male character in the story (lets call him Charlie Brown shall we?) is locked in his room struggling to figure out what he wants to become in life and where he is at the moment. He is looking at things differently. He is in the city and hears every siren as a symphony and views every teardrop as a waterfall.
This is actually kind of a weak single for them. It has a borrowed riff, too repetitive lyrics, and is just a boring gift from them. Kind of like when you're a kid and you get socks for christmas. You know you need it, but its not what you wanted. This U2-esque offering was not enough to quench my thirst for new Coldplay since I love them but don't view them as infallible (anyone remember the simple, boring, stadium-friendly mess that was X&Y?) and along with a second MORE lackluster second single this album is freaking me out a little. |

Since the album is a concept album this would be one of the characters talking about their failed dreams. Since 'Paradise' is about the female character's loss of innocence and disillusionment with the world I would venture a guess that the male character's feeling of failure. Its towards the beginning of the album so setting up would seem right since its a story. |

| Coldplay – Hurts Like Heaven Lyrics

Gave the live version of this a listen. Its definitely better than Paradise and Every Teardrop is a Waterfall but overall I'm still not excited about this album anymore. They've left behind any artistic sensibilities and have gone into poppy high selling music that is mindless, repetitive, and easy to sing in the car lyrics that don't inspire anything but shallow, mindless feelings. Admittedly Major Minus was a good song, and I'm expecting a lot from the rest of the album after two phenomenal good albums and the fun and interesting "Viva" but I'm worried. Hurts Like Heaven is part one of the story on this concept album and so far its incoherent and frustrating. They haven't written anything this bouncy and poppy before and while I'm up for a new coldplay this is decisively NOT something I want from them |

This depresses me. I love Coldplay and always have but I'm willing to point out their mistakes. X&Y was too stadium. Granted we got some really good tracks out of it but as a whole just ugh. Now after the majesty and intelligence of Viva la Vida we're given this offering. On first listen my first thought was "I've been tricked, I bought the single but its just a dumb U2 song" but then Chris kicked in. Usually he's the main focus of their music and its exciting but he did nothing impressive. It was pop/singrap. I was disappointed, but then I started listening. And an amazing thing happened...
I was devastated.
Never before have I been so bothered by Coldplay lyrics. They've been sappy and a tad boring before, but this just took it and ran with it. It was semi-decent after about 30 listens but at its core its barely tolerable. Its a dance song after we were promised a stripped down acoustic sound. This pop nonsense is detestable after the artistic growth they saw in the last album. I'm not one of those who thinks they will always be like they were on the first two albums, and I'm ok with change. This isn't change, this is conformity. The news that they are including Rhianna on the album just furthers my thinking as last time they did a poor collaboration with Jay-Z it was a b-side that we all kind of chuckled at but now its a main track. I hope it turns out well, I really do, but this is annoying and the new single Paradise is boring in its repetition and underwhelming in its delusions of grandeur. Also, the songs released from this album so far all kind of wink at each other lyrically, and it seems pretentious. I get that you want to write a concept album boys, but it can be done without the gimmicks and mimickry and pop sensibilities. Its not artistic, its conformity. |

Honestly it weirds me out that no one has mentioned thus far that Jasen Rauch from the band RED wrote 4 songs on this album. This was one of them, and they all have a religious feel due to the fact that while they are mainstream rockers, RED is a christian band and show that in their lyrics. It shone through on this album in the song "Without You" the most but you can see a desperation in this song to. Just thought I'd bring that up... |

Ok just so you guys know this is the one song that has nothing to do with the rest of the album. Its about the band being asked to do a song for one of the Twilight film soundtracks and how they thought it was pathetic that good musicians were selling out to these awful films. Hence the reason they make fun of the vampires sparkling like Bowie and such. Its actually kind of a funny song, I love it. Oh, and in case you don't believe me the line "Gimmie gimmie some of that vampire money c'mon!" should do it for ya. |

ok not to demean any other comments but no one's hit what this song is about. This one and when they come for me are about giving up their old sound for this new idea. Its very different but if you contrast it to when they come for me you see that while that song is slapping fans who want the old style back this one is promoting the idea that while it was fun they just aren't that band anymore. They tried on the last album and were 'holding onto what they haven't got.' the fire's gone so they're moving on. |

The original song by Kate Bush was about female empowerment. She herself claimed that she wrote the song as a statement to men about how it would go if men and women's social positions were switched. The placebo version, however, changed the meaning I think. When he sings it for one thing its a HE singing and for another it feels like its about someone who's dying and the singer is trying to convince God to switch their fates. |

Due to the fact that the next couple parts of this symphony state that at least one man has left earth I have to say that this is about the end of the world and the attempt to get to a new home.

Leto is a character from the DUNE book series. If I'm reading the song right, it refers to Leto Atreides II, who becomes god-like and enters a 3000 year life in "God Emperor of Dune" where he is pregognicient to everything. He has a master plan to save humanity from itself, but he can't stand what he has to become to save them and he can stand being everywhere and nowhere. The song is about how this all makes him feel. |

I'm seeing it as a manipulation of Gloria. He meets her and uses their 'undying love' to recruit her. She actually loves him, and I would think that he loves her to, but he needs her stability and her ability to cope with the world that he can't to keep him focused on his goal. Great song. |

Has anyone considered the fact that they may be blaming the war in Iraq on religion? I know that this album has at least a few stabs in the political direction because of 21 Guns (if anyone sees anything but a call to end war in that song then you should probably take another listen). It just seems that since America stands United under Christianity (yes, we have religious freedom, but 'IN GOD WE TRUST') and since the terrorist attacks were done under a Muslim extremist influence that maybe he just blames religion in general. Not saying that's what its about, just a possibility. |

Billie Joe came out and said that it was an anti-war song. Its about begging America to just give up. Good tune and sound (though kinda similar to Wake Me Up When September Ends) but its just too whiny for me. Green Day still whines about Bush for crying out loud, and he's out of office. There are good songs on this one, but asking us as a country to just woos out and give up makes this one of my least favorite songs on the new album. |

It just seem's like the classic F U style of some of Green Day's older lyrics but with a bite to it that progresses the window. Its obviously the character Christian or the narrator singing, and I would see it as more of Christian since it fights against Gloria. I don't know, this album was more a window into the lives of the two people than a story so its hard to tell but I like the anger. |

I'm expecting this to be a single. I see the Unforgiven's as an epic. The first one is about the beginning of a man's life. He's used, abused, and dropped by all others. He ages mentally beyond his years and regrets most of his life. Then in the second movement someone comes. "She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again." It sounds like he hurt her deeply. The whole song seems like he took her in, used her like the world used him, buried the key in her, and then left her. He made her unforgiven as well. Then in the final movement he accepts the consequences. He realizes that its no ones fault but his own and that in the end the only one who is unforgivable is himself. Really epic work of art. I hope the video for this one matches the first 2 because they were fantastic. |

The song relates to a man who's slowly losing his sanity, and believes himself trapped for life. He's on pills and asking everyone for help, even Jesus. It seems that he would rather Jesus help him in the here and now instead of in the long run, hence the "Get off that cross" line. He tells every one to stop saying the pills that seem to be so popular for people with his condition to screw themselves because he doesn't care. This song seems to be a counterpart to the song Fine Again. I think they go together. |
