Midnight Lyrics

Lyric discussion by tebdanner 

Cover art for Midnight lyrics by Coldplay

It's the least vulnerable song from Coldplay technically... but not lyrically.

Mans vulnerability can be silenced by the distortion of distraction.

Cries of desperation stifled by technology and ambiance of information.

It is a desperate song riddled with fear and anxiety.

The tapestry of the song distorts the message to something mysterious and cautious but defrays the true desperation of the song by synthesis and distortion of human voice.

Read the words.

They are afraid and hope that fear is heard despite all the distortion-

Despite the illusion... Most of men have a mechanical bent... A deeply private and ineffectual preponderance with inadequacy...

An understanding and cognizant better half who waits with a light on calms us beyond their and our comprehension.
