Murder

Wow. This song is just the epitome of paranoia!

By the way, these lyrics are wrong, these are the correct ones taken from coldplay.com:

Murder coming to get us Yeah coming to get us and away we hide Murder, see it all around us See it all around us And away we hide

Murder coming to get us They're coming to get us And away we hide Away we hide

Tie me to a tree Tie my hands above my head Sing a song to me Sing a song like what you said

And they're gonna murder me They're gonna take me down Even before I sleep I cry murder

Come spit at us Come and throw your weight around Come and fight with us Try and knock us to the ground

'Cause they're gonna murder me They're gonna take me down Even before I sleep I scream murder Murder

Oh now what can it possibly gain? Oh what can it possibly gain? Oh now what can it possibly gain? Oh yeah what can it possibly gain?

Cry murder, murder I cry murder

Murder I'm coming to get us I'm coming to get us And away we hide Murder, see it all around us See it all around us And away we hide Murder coming to get us It's coming to get us And away we hide Murder, see it all around you See it all around you And away we hide

What a haunting song. I mean, the progression is just uncommon and minor and sad. This song twists my insides and makes me wish I was tied to the front of a boat as the waves broke against my body... About what he means... I really don't know. Maybe he got into some serious trouble and people were coming after him and his partner in crime (coming to get us). Ok, let me listen to this song and soar wingless off the edge off my castle of pain.

I haven't listened to this song enough to really understand the meaning of the song, but it's one of my favorites. The melody is lovely and Chris' voice just adds the flavor to make it nice, rich blend.

I feel that i can really understand what the song is about. Is about when you got the feeling in the air, wherever you are/go, that something bad is going to happen to you soon, like a premonition. so theres a line that says: "oh what could it possible be " ? He cant have calm cause he knows something very bad is about to happen soon. brigita.

I think it's about having to face the consequences of your actions in general, and authority in particular. He alters between fear ("I crumble down"), confrontational anger ("Come and fight with us"), and asking for consolation and succour ("Sing a song to me"). Overall, he can't face it, so he continues running and hiding even though he has no hope.

Does anyone have this song?!?!? I want it!!!!

I think this song is about our oblivion to the destruction and evil around us in the world.

I feel like it's a song about how people who are different get murdered by media and negative comments
