| Coldplay – Warning Sign Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Like a lot of people here, this means a lot to me because of relationship troubles. I've basically been stuck in the friend zone for months with this girl who I love a whole lot, and I keep on "looking for excuses" for why I should just leave her behind. But I can't. I just can't leave her behind. When I first met her, I was interested in someone else, and I didn't realize how amazing this new girl was until it was too late. I "passed that island by" for two months, and I was stuck in the friend zone. A couple months ago, I finally worked up enough courage to tell her my feelings. She was nice about it, and you know told me "We could still be friends." That was definitely the "bubble bursting" for me. Ever since then, she says everything is ok but she keeps giving me mixed signals, somedays wanting to talk with me about everything. The next, being one of the coldest human beings I've ever known, trying to end conversations with me before they begin. And it's killing me. And I miss the old her. The one before I said anything to her. The one I could joke around with, who always had a smile on her face, who would laugh at my bad jokes... I miss that. I want to tell her "what state I'm in," but I just know that'll be the end. Worst part is no matter what, I can't get away from her because I see her every day whether I want to or not, and every time I see her I fall in love again. So I just want to say thank you Coldplay. Thank you because this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks to all of you, cause I know I'm not alone. | |

This song was definitely the best off the new album. Great melodies with an anthemic chorus and a deep meaning behind each line. The overall theme I get seems kind of similar to "Stuck in a Moment" from All You Can't Leave Behind. I imagine this as something somebody would say to a friend in a time of hardship. The first verse is all about an idea I've been coming to terms with, that life isn't really complete without both happiness and sadness. "Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit/ Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit/ Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot," seems like its about human emotion, and that we need it all. Sadness, anger, happiness, and heartbreak. Its all part of life. The second verse seems to be punctuated best by the line "The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear." The verse promotes being spontaneous and possibly naive in some ways as the references in the first two lines toward teenagers suggests. And the Choruses give the message "things are gonna be tough, but lets just have the best time we can with it." The first two lines obviously hold the meaning that theres hardship around us now and ahead. But the line "But we're gonna make it all the way to the light," gives that kind of reassurance that reminds me of Stuck in a Moment that everything will be alright. The three lines that change each hold a meaning that goes along with the verse beforehand. The first is a call to listen up to whoever's been hurting, the second is a statement that he's been going on and being spontaneous despite opposition and the third is an overall message lets make the best we can and have a good time. Personally that third line, "Let's shout until the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light," is my favorite of the song. |

Its simple: The song is about getting over being stuck in the friend zone. But the lyrics were crafted so well it sets this song apart. The repeated "Don't get much dumber" actually changes meaning between the 1st and 3rd verses. In the 1st verse, he means that he knows she's not gonna change her mind. But in the last verse it means that its dumb to hide your feelings. And the way he sings that line goes perfectly with the lyrics, kind of says, "You know what, I'm gonna go tell her" It leaves us with a hopeful meaning at the end. |
