Adventure Of A Lifetime Lyrics

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
We are legends, every day
That's what she told him

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds

I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
I feel my heart beating
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Said I can't go on, not in this way
I'm a dream, I die by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Oh, we are omen

I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh, I can feel my heart beating
Cause you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape
(Woo, woo)

If we've only got this life
Then this adventure is more than I
And if we've only got this life
You'll get me through oh
And if we've only got this life
Then this adventure is more than I
Wanna share with you
With you, with you
I said, oh, say oh

(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)

In an interview, Chris Martin said how this song relates to surviving through a near death experience. He said how he had been in a sandstorm while in a plane over africa and almost died, that's why the lyrics say, " 'cause you make me feel like im alive again."

Within the song, "Adventure of a Lifetime" by Coldplay, it seems as if the overarching theme of the song is about feeling 'reborn' again because of a female presence. But, it is not completely certain if she is an actual outside character, or just an extension of the songwriter's imagination. This piece is an energetic, enjoyable song that provides nothing but high spirits, using multiple literary devices throughout the lyrics.
For example, it states, "Turn your magic on, to me she'd say....Everything you want's a dream away....That's what she told me." Here we see the female presence, referred to as 'her', in action, informing the singer to "turn his magic on." It seems to me as if she his telling him to let loose, and just enjoy himself. In response to that, he states, "Now i feel my heart beating, I feel my heart underneath my skin.." A hyperbole is used to exaggerate his current emotions, by letting go and listening to 'her'.
As the song continues, the singer, Chris Martin is consistently persuaded to enjoy the moment, as if he were "alive again." In my opinion, I believe the presence of this female is symbolic of living life to the fullest extent, positively influencing every person she affects, including the man in the lyrics, Chris Martin.
Towards the end of "Adventure of a Lifetime," Martin seems to become attached to her, stating, "If we've only got this life, then this adventure is more than I, wanna' share it with you..." It's like he's finally found someone that makes him feel alive again, and doesn't want to let go of her, whether she's real or not. But overall, the style and sounds of this song are very uplifting, and ultimately provide a message to cherish and enjoy life, treating every day like you're alive again.

The song reflects the rising awakening among all of us. She may be real or not, but in any shape she is, she embodies our guiding spirits, telling us that reality is what we dream about. What we dream about is what reality will become. She urges him (us) to realize this. By an event untold, the protagonist is confronted with maximum anxiety. And in this moment he is faced with the depths of his being. The pressure is so strong that he feels he can take no more. That he is dying. And it is in this very moment that she tells him, to turn his magic on. To dream the live he chooses. It is in this moment that he shapes himself and can become whatever he wants himself to be. And can create the life he has towards his future. Now, with the insight he has gained, understanding that -we- have only this life, with the power to shape it, he chooses to share it with -you- (all of us).

Throughout the song he feels his heart beating. This is physically correct. Once you are awakened, you physically feel your heart beating. Like it is pounding against your chest. And you feel alive. And this can only be through our connections with others, with you.

So let us dance. Feel our hearts beating. Be the legends we are. And dream the world we want to live in. Because so it will be.
