O Lyrics

Lyric discussion by RamblinRoyce 

Cover art for O lyrics by Coldplay

Flock of birds is a reference to angels who watch over us...to take it further, Angels could possibly be aliens in UFO's hovering above...if you think aliens and little green men who are evil or think 'enemy', then you've been brainwashed by society, the media, and movies... Aliens could very well be very similar to us and in human form... instead of Aliens, how about Advanced Intelligent Human Beings in UFO's hovering above...

With the presumption they are referring to Angels/Aliens/Advanced Intelligent Human Beings, I believe the song illustrates the feelings and awe many people feel who believe in them. They are above us, watching over us, and perhaps helping and looking after us...Guardians (Angels), if you will. Perhaps someday, we will advance enough technologically & spiritually and be able to fly next to them. Or, it can be read purely spiritually and perhaps one day, we will fly next to the angels in heaven.
