I'm impressed by this song too... i'm getting a story out of it about the awakening of someone's memory about a God they once used to know. He says that the moment he remembers this God, THAT "was when [he] ruled the world", meaning that was when he was happiest, life was smoothest, and there was a big feeling of peace. With only God was he producing all these miraculous deeds, like "lifting the sea", and "rolling the dice"...so much faith that he could gamble and know that God was in control, not the dice... And he talks about the "wicked and wild wind"...which is his way of describing all the things God did to try to get him back on his side. I know I sound way too BIBLE-Y and GOD-ly but it's true! And it even says in the bible that "the one who doubts(meaning, the one who doubts god) is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind"... that's from the book of James in the bible, Chapter 1, and I think Chris might be getting his lyrics from this place. The whole song is just really great... mainstream music isn't usually my thing, but Coldplay is just awesome.. |
