| Coldplay – Strawberry Swing Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song makes me happy. That's all the description that needs. But it definitely seems to follow the war theme on Viva la Vida. It feels like one last goodbye between a pair of lovers before one of them goes off to war, but the lovers refuse to let the time between waste away. "Everybody was for fighting, wouldn't want to waste a thing" The cold water seems to bring him 'round to reality, but even then, he denies it, saying it's a perfect day, let's get on with it! But the day does come. The lyrics become memory: "I remember we were...Strawberry Swing" And I always heard the line to be: "I can wait until the morning," like he's dreaming about his days on Strawberry Swing. The line "People moving inside a perfectly straight line, don't you want to curve away" seems to refer to the soldier marching in formation, but wanting to leave, curve away because "It's such, its such a perfect day", Like it was when he was with his love. The last part "The sky could be blue, I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time" Feels like the soldier, not caring how good the weather is, just that everything is a waste of time without his love. But the whole while, the song is still happy. Hopeful. It's wholesome and sweet. The beat entices dancing and bring visions of summer. I feel like Death and All of His Friends (the next track on the album) is a continuation of the Two lover's story. And a good one at that. |

| Coldplay – Violet Hill Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I always thought this was about a soldier drafted in a war he thinks is a worthless struggle between the powerful trying to keep their power and or influence. And while he is away, his love gets mixed up an is killed "I took my love down to Violet Hill, there we sat in the snow, all that time she was silent still, so if you love me won't you let me know?" | |
