| Coldplay – A Rush of Blood to the Head Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is talking about people who are willing to do anything for either a person they love or something they belive in: The first verse talks about someone who is willing to do anything to make a loved one happy (I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for) and make up for what others did (Do back the things it did to you in return) The chorus is about admitting that you were wrong to do all that just because of something or someone, and how you can make it "all disappear without a trace" if the person would fogive you. The second verse is about fighting for something you belive in, and taking it too far even though its hurting other people (Somell laugh, some just sit and cry, you just sit down there and you wonder why) The fianl part is realizing that you maid mistakes, and just wishing that the loved one wouyld come back to you now that you are better. it then implies that the person could blame coming back to you on "a rush of blood to the head" the whole song implies that being madly devoted to someone or something is like a "rush of blood to the head". you can't control it, cant predict it, but when it comes, it can take control of you. I THINK THW WHOLE ALBUM'S IDEA OF BECOMING BETTER AND FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN IS A CONTINUATION OF "LIFE IS FOR LIVING" ON PARACHUTES. THAT SONG WAS SOMEWHAT OF A PREVIEW AS TO WHAT THEY WERE PLANNING ON DOING NEXT. |

I have my own opinion as to what this song means. I also take some lyrics from the live versions to show what they mean more, and some I think are different than what is posted above, so I just write what I think he's singing. I assumed this song was about a pain shared between him and someone he loved, a death, a fight, something like that. That's what this song means to me: Come and see, I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding (I'm trying to forget the pain we've felt, I'm not perfect but I'm trying to get better.) Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front my playing time is won. Oh but the difficulty's coming here. (Do you want to be like me and try to move on, as you can see I am moving on. Only more pain will be coming to you.) I will go in this way, and find my own way out. I won't tell you what to be, but I'm coming to much more. (I will fix my own problems. I won't tell you to be like me, but I'm getting better.) Me, come now that ghosts come back, reeling in you now. What if they came down crushing? (You are only going to keep remembering me. What if these memories are too painful?) In the wake, we used to play for all the loneliness that nobody notices now. Begging slow, I'm coming here. (Remember now, we used to just ignore all the pain that no one else can see. I'm coming very slowly, but I'm coming to help you.) Only waiting, I wanted to stay, I wanted to play, I wanted to love you. (I am willing to wait for you, I wish we could have stayed happy, I wish I could have just loved you with no pain.) I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads the way. I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head. (I've only come this far, but only the future leads the way. I am coming back into your life now.) Please, I wouldn't pass this by, I wouldn't take any more than what sort of man goes by. I will bring water. (I won't just let you go that easily, I won't just be like other people and leave you here. I will help you.) Why won't you ever be glad, it melts into wonder. I came in praying for you. (Why can't you just forget the pain, I'm happy, it will all just go away. I came here just trying to help you.) Why won't you run into the rain and play, and let tears splash all over you. (Why don't you just let go of the pain and be happy again, let it become part of you, but no longer controlling you.) |
