| Coldplay – Daylight Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
clearly this is a song about transience, this person is at a state where they are having trouble with life or a problem, or with figuring out who they are. usually the unknown is synonymous with darkness, darkness is life corresponds to having issues with your personal life or just simply having issues with yourself. this man has come to a point where the darkness is slowly evading and he is almost surprised with himself that he could possibly see daylight after suffering through the unknown, and embarks on a mission of self knowledge and growth. the clouds BURSTING show the change from who he was to now who he will become. now that he has realized that he is capable of seeing daylight and moving forward past the darkness to accept who he is. he now realizes how vital daylight is and accepting life's circumstances is.. he comes to the conclusion that he can't live without daylight. the first born child could signify rebirth and completely starting anew... a first born child marks a beginning more than the second or third child would. it's like he is starting fresh and moving towards solidarity and enlightenment and moving away from the restlessness and anxiety that being in the dark can bring you. so beautiful, poignant, absolutely incredible song, if you don't like it i would advise you to listen to it after you've been through something really difficult. i listen to this song when walking around the city and literally get the goosebumps if a stray of sunlight hits me. chris martin is a genius. |
