To my suprise,
my daylight,
I saw sunrise,
I saw sunlight.
I am nothing,
in the dark,
and the clouds burst,
to show daylight.
oooo, and the sun shines,
yeah on this sunrise.
oooo, and I realise
who could live without,
who could part without, it.
On a hill top,
on a skyrise,
like a first born, child,
on the full day,
on the full flight,
if the darkness,
make the daylight.
oooo, and the sun shines,
yeah on this sunrise.
oooo, when I realise,
who could I live without,
who could I part without, daylight.
Slowly breaking through the daylight,
Slowly breaking through the daylight,
Slowly breaking through the daylight,
Slowly breaking...
my daylight,
I saw sunrise,
I saw sunlight.
in the dark,
and the clouds burst,
to show daylight.
yeah on this sunrise.
oooo, and I realise
who could live without,
who could part without, it.
on a skyrise,
like a first born, child,
on the full day,
on the full flight,
if the darkness,
make the daylight.
yeah on this sunrise.
oooo, when I realise,
who could I live without,
who could I part without, daylight.
Slowly breaking through the daylight,
Slowly breaking through the daylight,

i love the 'slowly breaking through the daylight' repetition at the end of the song. it makes you almost feel like breaking though the daylight...
wait... you took a long journey on the internet... and then you found it on the Coldplay official website..?! where the hell did you start looking..?? ;)
anyway, I didn't like this song at first, but now I really like it, it's very different somehow. I like Matt Greens interpretation, I hadn't thought of it like that before.
at first.
Why didn't you CHECK if i was lying? Seems to me rather stupid to say someone is lying without even looking to the evidence.
Second. i had to re-write the lyrics myself, because you can't just copy it from the coldplay website. but look it up, most of what i said is there. And go and take a good listen (also to the live versions). And kill me if i entirely made everything up.
Haha.
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.
I agree with you completely

Wow... saweet. :-D

truly amazing song. Coldplay really shows how to feel things that are much significant to us.
Great song, one of my favorites on the album, but the lyrics are a bit off. It's hard to get them right, though, since they're so drawn out. Many listenings are necessary.
What?
yeah what are u talking about????
anyways... great song.
