The song poses the question of whether one should view life as a pessimist or optomist. This is accomplished through both lyrics and medody. "Bones sinking like stones..." is an example of a pessimist's view while "We live in a beautiful world" holds the optimist's view. The melody is that which is generally catagorized as mellow and depressing (pessimistic), but some how generates a feel-good response (optomistic). Thus the lyrics and melody pose this question. The final line "Oh all that I know..." along with the title "Don't Panic" suggest the answer to the question...

Although sometimes ugly, one must remember life is beautiful.
I don't normally like this genre, but this song is great, along with a bunch of others from Coldplay.
