View Full Version : What does "Major Minus" MEAN?

So I'm wondering, since we seem to think this is going to be the title track and everything: What does "Major Minus" mean as a title? Am I missing something here?
It sounds kind of like a constellation of some kind, and that's what I think of when I hear it. But seeing their jackets that said "Major Minus Media..."
I don't know. Any thoughts? It makes no sense to me and it's been driving me up a wall! :shocked2:

I think you're thinking of a constellation because they sometimes include "major" or "minor" in their names to distinguish them from similar constellations of different sizes. :D I'm not sure what it means, but it's sure interesting. I can't wait for some interviews about all these songs.

I do not know the answer to the question in the name of this thread. At first I thought of Major Minor (music can be written in major or minor), but then I realize that the title is Major Minus.
If something has a disadvantage, it can be said to be a Minus. Maybe something has several disadvantages = minuses - what is the Major Minus? I don't know - just letting my thoughts flow.

So I guess it could be like a "BIG minus." Like something that totally sucks.
I've been thinking about it for a long time and I just want it to make sense!

My opinion, like I posted on the other thread, is that it relates with death lurking by, and the narrator knows that. Knowing that danger, that caution is necessary - though death is unavoidable -, it's just them (narrator+interlocutor) against the world.
That knowledge of unavoidable and iminent death is the Major Minus.
Ok, I think I stretched out a lil bit there. Any better ideas, PLEASE? hahahahah

My thought is that the song is about Chris's life now that he's a rock star. Sure he got his dream, but the major minus to is is that he's always being watched. If he says the wrong thing the major minus media reports it. "One eye watching you, and one eye on what you do so be careful who t is you're talking to" if he's seen talking to another woman suddenly the tabloids are saying he's cheating on his wife. Ya know? The media always throws things out of proportion. I really feel like this song is about the downside of fame.
"so be careful cause nothing they say is true" again with the tabloids blowing things completely out of the water.
I could be completely wrong though haha
Brent
17-06-2011, 11:46 PM
^That kind of makes sense!
If that's the case, I'll bet he wrote it while all those tabloids were making up crap that his marriage was on the rocks.

Yeah that's what the song reminded me of! I remember hearing about that and I was just thinking "there's no way, it's gotta be fake"
But yeah, that's what the song reminds me of
I think it major, doesn't mean big here but happy like the French "majeur". Happy but with a minus, you can be happy, but you're being watched by "them" and if you don't make up to their standards they'll make sure you won't be happy.
It's like 1984 by George Orwell. At least that's point of view...

If it really is about media following him and spreading rumours about cheating and so on, the line should have been changed to:

So be careful who it is you're trying to screw

Being that the case, I think it is about watching excessively someone you love. That could be something good (Major) and at the same time bad (Minus).

This song is one of most direct songs of coldplay...Major Minus Media is about medias in the world that bring us such a fake reality making us blind and hide the truth from us , trust me this is something soo deep that coldplay tries to tell us. It says.. they got one eye watching you../who are they? Who is this one eye...to not be long do a short research see the 1 dollar pyramid and the one eye and do a research see what that means...u can read what Lady Diana have said to her friend about these "chrocodiles" before she died, friends open up your eyes and try to glow in the dark in time of riot that will soon appear ....
I didnt want to make it so long but trust me after u do a small research about what i said u ll gonna find all the meaning of the Viva la Vida and the new tracks especialy Major Minus
Enjoy the beautiful songs that coldplay brings us and try to catch the messages they give us cause they do really have a BIG meaning and are big warrnings to us

Who says a song title has to mean anything?
No, seriously. Think about it. There are plenty of artists who just make up random names for songs. When Muse was trying to think of a name for their song "Muscle Museum," they picked up a dictionary, looked up the words before and after the word "muse," and made it the name of the song. "Muscle Museum" doesn't mean anything to the song, nor does it affect it negatively.

You can also listen to the Muse song Uprising read the lyrics after u have researched about the one eye and u ll find out who are "they" in the muse and coldplay song. Also this song is about media cause media is all corrupted by the elite by the one eye.

Ooh the title always made me think of how in Newspeak, all adjectives are permutations of "good" and "bad." Major minus kind of fits into that grammatical form of doubleplusgood or..er..superbad. :lol:

Perhaps the words are actually:
Ewe, ewe-oooh, ewe, ewe-oooh

Oh man, I've been reading the title as "Major Minor"....oh dear :L
Firs impressions of the song:
It seems kind of depressing to me to be honest! Someone earlier said the guys' jackets had "Major Minus Media" on them. This kind of gave me the impression of a 1984 "Big Brother"-esque thing.
"One eye on the road and one or you"....kind of like not wanting you to escape. I think it's like the media will finally take over all our life, that it owns us.
Depressing, but my interpretation ;)

Mysterious title, but at least we can exclude one of the meanings quoted in the dictionary for the word minus: :)
"relating to or being a particular one of the two mating types that are required for successful fertilization in sexual reproduction in some lower plants (as a fungus)"

To be honest i were scared that they corrupted colplay too after i saw the viva la vida video which is full of masonic gestures and signs an especialy with the eye they have in these new songs but when i heard this song i immediately understood whats that about and i am glad coldplay is in the side of the good

25-06-2011, 01:03 AM
Yeah it's a stretch. What I was getting at is how in Newsspeak, the main adjectives are good, bad, and then different magnitudes of good and bad. "Minus" is a fairly basic concept I think - taking away, so it's analogous to "bad." And then "major" is the modifier (like plus, doubleplus). It's just something that came to mind because Major Minus has a somewhat similar grammatical structure: a modifier and a noun (vs 1984's adverb + adjective).
Newsspeak is supposed to reduce the ambiguity and shades of grey inherent to humanity and its ability to express itself through language; I suppose I could stretch further and apply that to the paparrazi interpretation of MM where perhaps the media breaks everything down into black and white/good and bad.
Just thinking out loud though. :embarrassed:

The following is only my own personal interpretation, if you're not a fan of so-called 'conspiracies' skip over this :P
EDIT: decided to put this in a spoiler.
Firstly, the 'Major Minus Media' insignia on their jackets: symbolises brainwashing through the mainstream media. The words 'Major Minus' in this context would elude to the 'overwhelmingly negative' influence on the media in modern societies (lies, deception, etc). This is a good starting point for interpreting the rest of the lyrics (as is the all-seeing eye on their youtube video).
'We got one eye watching you / one eye on what you do / so be careful of what it is you're trying to do' - A warning that (what I'll call) 'big brother' is constantly scrutinising your every move. If your actions go against 'their' plan for society, you will be considered suspicious and possibly a threat.
'...so be careful who it is you're talking to' - This could be saying a couple of things. Either don't go around spreading what you know about who's pulling the strings (what they would consider 'conspiring' with other people), or simply, be aware of who your enemies are.
'Just be careful when you're walking into view' - Here they could be referencing CCTV and the surveillance state. This is especially relevant here in the UK, especially in built up areas such as Greater London.
'So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true' - Ties in with their 'Major Minus Media' symbolism. Beware of propaganda pushed by the mainstream media.
'Don't believe a word, it's just us against the world' - Don't trust anyone in a position of power who tells you they have your best interests at heart, ie: politicians. It's just us against the corrupt political classes that currently 'rule the world' (think I'm nuts yet?).
I'm not sure about the crocodile / Peter Pan reference yet, since Tick-Tock wasn't really a 'bad guy' from what I can remember. Maybe someone can help me out here.
'She can hear them climbing the stairs / I got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs' - My favourite lyric. It gives me the impression that the two characters (one male one female) are in hiding and the authorities are after them. The second part of the lyric is a metaphor for the male character's conflicting emotions: part of him wants to lash out against the powers that be, but another part of him is too afraid of what could happen to himself and the female character if he does - he has a dilemma on his hands. Paints a pretty vivid picture of what kind of world these characters have found themselves in.
I don't expect anyone to agree, but my feeling is that it's more than just the papparazzi following Chris around. It's also possible that I'm over analysing as per usual, but Coldplay have come out with politically themed songs before (see How You See The World II, Violet Hill - even Moving To Mars has a reference to overthrowing a government), and this just has a more 'personal' take on the subject.
Thank you for your thought. It's interesting but it can make paranoid :curtain:

Ok thank you for this information :) Maybe it's true but recently I saw in press that Gwynet (his wife) that she does not believe in the Bible and she clearly knock it.
.. So I think they are don't believers :\
Maybe those lyrics are just for provoke and attract :idea2: And it work!
if indeed it were true, they couldn't talk about this conspiracy in their songs, they would have be prevented ;)
In any case this parano atmosphere is not new. We were able to see it in Spies, Violet Hill... :wink3:

I dont know much about his wife but i know that they believe that somebody created all these things you can see it in some interviews, where Chris says that i know that all these things have a creator who is above all but i am trying to work out if he is God or Allah or Zeus. And during the viva la vida era he says in one interview they believe in Kouran and Bible and other holly books and he said a funny thing he said that when we will die when we will go up there if we meet Allah we ll tell him we believed in you if we meet God we will tell him that we believed in you ...Let me remind you that if they didnt believe in God there wouldnt be lyrics like :time is so short and i am sure there must BE SOMETHING MORE, ...or God is in my garden and God is in my head and all cemiteries of London..I see God come in my garden but i dont know what he said for my heart it wasnt open ...i see in this lyrics that he is calling for God to come in his life..and also from X&Y songs lets take Speed of sound . IF u analise it well you ll see that actualy he is talking to God asking him :How long before i get in ? Before it starts before i begin? How long before you decide? or before i know what it feels like... then u can see like god tells him: look up at sky planets are moving with the speed of light(shows that god tells him the answer that he is looking is all around him ) ;) its really interesting actualy. I am sorry for writing sooomuchh :$. But still who knows only they know so if u have something interesting to tell me i am all open and i wellcome ur ideas :D

I'd like to believe Coldplay aren't corrupted as some others in the music industry. The repetitive use of the pyramid at the Glastonbury festival kind of spooked me out, and Chris' previous collaboration with Jay-Z (Whom I believe is one of these corrupted artists) sort of spooked me out as well. As for religous or 'God' references in any of the songs I just sort of take it as a prime source of universal oneness, not an actual God being as mentioned in 'holy' writings. I really like Cemeteries of London because it's sort of a realization of the God self and power of an individual when he basically says 'God' is all around, and 'God' is in my head. Well anyway, interesting theories as to the meaning of Major Minus.

It gives me the impression that the two characters (one male one female) are in hiding and the authorities are after them. The second part of the lyric is a metaphor for the male character's conflicting emotions: part of him wants to lash out against the powers that be, but another part of him is too afraid of what could happen to himself and the female character if he does - he has a dilemma on his hands. Paints a pretty vivid picture of what kind of world these characters have found themselves in.
I don't expect anyone to agree, but my feeling is that it's more than just the papparazzi following Chris around. It's also possible that I'm over analysing as per usual, but Coldplay have come out with politically themed songs before (see How You See The World II, Violet Hill - even Moving To Mars has a reference to overthrowing a government), and this just has a more 'personal' take on the subject.
So far this explanation makes the most sense to me.

There are more thoughts coming out - I love the song, the rhythm is impressive and gives the song a unique movement.
I also love some interpretations here.
Basically, the lyrics itself is about an intense or crutial/even dangerous scenario which need lots of caution, wisdoms and composure to make Right actions/moves. It seems the male/female know how it could turn out - they know the possible manipulations/distortion that the "third party" [an opposite force] can play [dirty maybe]. "One on road, one on you" - they need to cooperate with each other very well to handle this.
It reminds a comment from John Lennon at certain points of his life "everything might be the opposite to what it is" I think the whole song reflects such a theme how we can choose to see or reveal the facts/truth. Minus - has its counterpart +; if + is supposed to be the positive forces of the universe, then Major Minus could be the most negative ones? Hence in a "fight" to light, we need to see and understand where the darkness lies and how to fight against it sucessfully?
Together with the other two [and I feel even for the whole LP5] - there is a forever faith in Light even many might sacrifce lifes [it might be dangerous; there are much positive energies counterbalancing the negative - paving the road for the remainings to approach to the Light] -even they can't see the Light coming eventually, they see Death as coming Home - fighting for the ideal - no one can stop this universe force. They sing, smile, full of hope at the last minute of life. This part is more about my own Connections - I might go too far. I am very familiar with such - as in Chinese history, there are many people who died, even just before or after the revolutionary success; they did sing the song of Faith [L'Internationale - in its very basic historical context, it is about Standing Up and Fight for the Equality and Justice - Last year, I still heard it in a Rock Live - it was so touching that 50000 people sang this song all together. There is a long/complicated context behind - I hope that doesn't create misunderstandings here.] before the brutal killing - that we will have our own independence and people in this country will have a brighter future.

I dont know much about his wife but i know that they believe that somebody created all these things you can see it in some interviews, where Chris says that i know that all these things have a creator who is above all but i am trying to work out if he is God or Allah or Zeus. And during the viva la vida era he says in one interview they believe in Kouran and Bible and other holly books and he said a funny thing he said that when we will die when we will go up there if we meet Allah we ll tell him we believed in you if we meet God we will tell him that we believed in you ...Let me remind you that if they didnt believe in God there wouldnt be lyrics like :time is so short and i am sure there must BE SOMETHING MORE, ...or God is in my garden and God is in my head and all cemiteries of London..I see God come in my garden but i dont know what he said for my heart it wasnt open ...i see in this lyrics that he is calling for God to come in his life..and also from X&Y songs lets take Speed of sound . IF u analise it well you ll see that actualy he is talking to God asking him :How long before i get in ? Before it starts before i begin? How long before you decide? or before i know what it feels like... then u can see like god tells him: look up at sky planets are moving with the speed of light(shows that god tells him the answer that he is looking is all around him ) ;) its really interesting actualy. I am sorry for writing sooomuchh :$. But still who knows only they know so if u have something interesting to tell me i am all open and i wellcome ur ideas :D
Have a good night
I know the lyrics of 42 and many songs (Spies, Spee of Sound, VLV...) are strange and they have a link with "God" but who is god? Their God? Because I think the (real) God of everyone is for everyone, not for only fans of coldplay, lady gaga or jay z lol :lol:
I think these are messages songs and visuals that are being made to attract attention and the unconscious. Many singers use this style... And it work :D

My friend i dont know what to believe in this world. Coldplay seems such a great band and i love them,i love every singe song of them, sometimes i see they rise their voice against these illuminati/mason stuff but then in viva la vida era Chris has the masonic square on his shirt, the video of viva la vida is full of masonic gestures just google some masonic gestures and you will see how they match with Chris's gestures in Viva la Vida video, also he is really good friend with Jay Z one of the biggest masonic artists and Keyne West, also in the song every teardrop is a waterfall there is the eye sign :/
but still for example in charlie brown ...it says something like all innocent and wild we'll be glowing in the dark which means they put themself as part of the innocent people that will be the light in the dark, also hurts like heaven majr minus moving to mars all are songs that seem tell us whats going on and like are against the illuminati and the New World Order.
I have an idea. Lets all write to Oracle and ask about these things cause no matter how much i write to him he wont ever write me back :/ and tell our guys to be in the good side as we asume they are and we will always be with them even no matter what.I HOPE U LL READ THIS AND WRITE ME BACK not only you but all the others :D lets rise our voice and safe this world from evil

"They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful who it is you're talking to
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do"
They mean the Cameras now im pretty sure or the Nazisoldiers watching the House.
And somehow this reminds me of Anne Frank.
"you could hear them climbing the stairs
got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs"
When the Nazis found their hideout in the House "Under 1 Roof"? O_O
Both from "Major Minus".
"got one eye on the road and one on you"
When they actual find Anne Frank and her Family and drive them in their Cars to the KZ.
They watch them and the Road at the same time.
Thats what i figured out in a different Thread.

My thought is that the song is about Chris's life now that he's a rock star. Sure he got his dream, but the major minus to is is that he's always being watched. If he says the wrong thing the major minus media reports it. "One eye watching you, and one eye on what you do so be careful who t is you're talking to" if he's seen talking to another woman suddenly the tabloids are saying he's cheating on his wife. Ya know? The media always throws things out of proportion. I really feel like this song is about the downside of fame.
"so be careful cause nothing they say is true" again with the tabloids blowing things completely out of the water.
I could be completely wrong though haha
Yes I think this song deserves more credit that it's getting. The lyrics are very deep and work on multiple levels.
I saw it as a critique of the Big Brother society we are now living in, because it could equally apply to Chris Martin as Jo Bloggs, though obviously more so in his case.

I agree it explains itself. Its the negative of fame, the downsides, the privacy lost forever. A warning, an alert. A gentle be careful because someone is always watching. The downside of fame and fortune.

To me:
It's a warning to someone who is being stalked and told lies because
they know too much...
it tells them to be careful what they say and do because the stalker
could use it against them...and be careful when you're around them..
be careful when you're trying to defend yourself against them, by telling
your story..
but the song says that one day they'll get there's when the crockodile goes
ticking around the world....and their secret gets told!!
If only people would listen..
It's us against the world...but we've got to turn up the music to be heard!

Chris Martin has stated in many interviews that this album was inspired by both graffiti in New York City during the 1970s and the White Rose Movement under Nazi Germany. He mentioned that he's fascinated by those who decide to resist against tyrannical forms of oppression. This song is a reflection of that. It depicts a Nazi/Big Brother kind of government or form of control that has, "one eye watching you." The hearing them climbing the stairs part may have references to the White Rose Movement in which the students were on the second floor when they dispersed the pamphlets and were soon after captured by the Gestapo. Research the White Rose movement and focus on oppresive governments and you'll have your meaning.
After reading many different view points of Coldplay and the illuminati, it seems to me that Coldplay is torn between being apart of the illuminati and being against the illuminati. If you read their lyrics, some will show proof of anti-illuminati and then there are illuminati symbols painted all over their graffiti art. I honestly think they struggle as band to stand up against what is really going on. Ughhhhh this stuff is exhausting to talk about because there is so much evidence but at the same time there is very little. Its all too confusing to truly figure it out, but I think the best thing for all of us to do is to watch out for signs of the illuminati and to be careful of what we watch and listen to. The entertainment industry is striving to have extreme power over us and we need to stay away from being controlled.
COLDPLAY and the iluminati? .... if you saying/typing this i guess is for the eye in the album artwork right? .... come on guys if that eye apears in the album that doesn't mean anything , that symbol represent Major Minus song , which is about how media control the mass with manipulated info and some stuff like that (a kind of protest song) , is the representation of the watching media eye , that all see , all hear
(personal opinion)

Major minus as the main villan in the comic book And he Is defiantly the most funny character, in contrast to the song. I thought he would be all scary because of the song and it's trible beat and minor key, turns out major minus is just a big alien prat...
