[DLIBYH] Lyrics

[Gigi88]

Has anyone figured out a sort of lyrics?


Is this the refrain?

still we never go a part
come on leave it don't let it break your heart

[LoversInJapan]

This is what Ive got so far..


If I lost a map
If i lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes
When youre tired of waiting and you find you never had to stop
Come on baby, don’t let it break your heart

Those heavenly re???
Still on me ??
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Oooh
?????

From a shipwreck i heard a call
And she said

[tom043]

when you're tired of aiming your arrows ,
Still you'll never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still it never gonna part

Come on baby don't let it brake your heart
Dont let it break your heart

Woooohhoooohh :D

[dadedade]

And

If I lost a map
If i lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes

When youre tired of waiting so you just
find that you never had to stop
Come on baby, don’t let it break your heart

Those heavenly regrets
Still on me though
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Oooh
through my days are flowing
From a shipwreck i heard a call
And she said

when you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part

Come on baby don't let it brake your heart
Dont let it break your heart

Woooohhoooohh

-----------
Could be it?

[LoversInJapan]

Yes! That looks like it indeed.
Am glad we mostly picking up the same words ^^

[dadedade]

couple of passages i'm uncertain

[hux90]

And

If I lost a map
If i lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes

When youre tired of waiting so you just
find that you never had to stop
Come on baby, don’t let it break your heart

Those heavenly regrets
Still on me though
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Oooh
through my days are flowing
From a shipwreck i heard a call
And she said

when you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part

Come on baby don't let it brake your heart
Dont let it break your heart

Woooohhoooohh

-----------
Could be it?


Please tell me the part in blue isn't from KungFu Panda 2 XD

[dadedade]

Actually i never saw it, but i'll do :D

[dadedade]

Find that you never have to stop

[hux90]

Actually i never saw it, but i'll do :D

I haven't either but he actually mentioned the cannonball thing in a CBS interview yesterday :lol:

[Juanma]

Please tell me the part in blue isn't from KungFu Panda 2 XD

didnt see the interview the other day? Of chris talking about balls of Kungfu panda 2?
:rolleyes: It happened

[42JTR]

And

If I lost a map
If I lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes
When you're tired of racing and you
find you never left the start
Come on baby, don’t let it break your heart

Those heavenly regrets
Still on we go?hold?(......??)
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Oooh
Through my maze is flowing
Through my shipwreck I heard a call
And she said

When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
Oohoh, and even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part

Aahah, come on baby don't let it brake your heart
Dont let it break your heart

Woooohhoooohh

Don't let it break your heart

Woooohhoooohh

Don't let it break your heart

My attempt.

[Our Escape]

I feel like this may have been Golden Arrow at one point

[Samuel_94]

I feel like this may have been Golden Arrow at one point

Could have been but DLIBYH was written and finished quite late but we have known about Golden Arrow for a while since about Juneish

[Teco]

And
If I lost a map
If i lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes

When you're tired of waiting and you
Find you never let us stop
Come on baby
Don’t let it break your heart

Tho(se) heavenly ______
Still on me ______
Trying to catch a cannonball

And slow
Burning tired
Oooh
Through my days is flowing
From a shipwreck I heard a call
And she said

When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
Oooh

And even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part
Aaah

Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart

Oooh...


Almost this.

[hux90]

didnt see the interview the other day? Of chris talking about balls of Kungfu panda 2?
:rolleyes: It happened

I know, that's what I'm talking about.
I wonder if that's where he got the inspiration :lol:

[golfing7861]

I can barely hear Chris's voice, what's up with this?!?!

[dadedade]

Think we have a final version :)

And
If I lost a map
If i lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes

When you're tired of racing and you
find you never left the start
Come on baby, don’t let it break your heart

Those heavenly regrets
Still on me though
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Oooh
through my maze is flowing
From a shipwreck i heard a call
And she said

When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows

Come on baby don't let it brake your heart
Don't let it break your heart
Wooh
Don't let it break your heart


Thanks KungFuPanda2 :D

[WeddingDom]

I LOVE THE KUNG FU PANDA 2 REFERENCE (cannonball) :dazzled: :heart:

[Hartroc]

And if I lost a map
If I lost it all
I fell into the trap
And she goes

“When you’re tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on, baby
Don’t let it break your heart”

Those heavenly regrets
Still, on we crawl
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Through my maze is flowing
From a shipwreck I heard a call
And she said

“When you’re tired of aiming your arrows
Still you never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part

Come on, baby
Don’t let it break your heart
Don’t let it break your heart
Don’t let it break your heart

---

Now it's perfect.

[foxeh]

And if I lost a map
If I lost it all
I fell into the trap
And she goes

“When you’re tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on, baby
Don’t let it break your heart”

Those heavenly regrets
Still, on we crawl
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
Through my maze is flowing
From a shipwreck I heard a call
And she said

“When you’re tired of aiming your arrows
Still you never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part

Come on, baby
Don’t let it break your heart
Don’t let it break your heart
Don’t let it break your heart

---

Now it's perfect.

No.
"Through my maze is flowing" and "And even if your aims are shadows" are obviously wrong for me.
I try to figure it out.

"Although my name is flowing"?
"And even in your aims are shadows"?

[James.]

No.
"Through my maze is flowing" and "And even if your aims are shadows" are obviously wrong for me.
I try to figure it out.

"Although my name is flowing"?
"And even in your aims are shadows"?

I'm pretty sure "Through my maze is flowing" should be "Through my veins it's flowing"

[chrisnz]

I'm pretty sure it's "from MY shipwerck i heard a call" ?????

[prjio307]

I'm pretty sure "Through my maze is flowing" should be "Through my veins it's flowing"

This.

[isrlns]

I think the first verse is "And if I lost *the* map" (?)

[42JTR]

I'm pretty sure it's "from MY shipwerck i heard a call" ?????

He definetely says that. Although it makes no sense.

[Hartroc]

He definetely says that. Although it makes no sense.

Makes more sense than from a shipwreck. The ship is a metaphor for his life.

[Samuel_94]

These lyrics are very similar to the Fix You lyrics!

[James.]

Upon listening to the song a few more times, this my interpretation of the lyrics:

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
And she'd go

"When you're tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on, baby
Don't let it break your heart"

Though heavily we bled
Still on we crawled
Tried to catch a cannonball

And so, running tired
Oh, through my veins it's flowing
From my shipwreck I heard a call
And she said

"When you're tired of aiming your arrows
Still you never hit the mark
Oh, even if your aims are shadows
Still we're never gonna part, aah, aah
Come on, baby
Don't let it break your heart"

Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Don't let it break your heart
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart

[Hartroc]

I'm positive it's "burning." Not sure about the next word though, sounds like "tide" to me but that doesn't make sense.

[Chris594]

Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Don't let it break your heart
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart

This seems spot on.

[James.]

This seems spot on.

Thanks :D I'm still not 100% sure about "even if your aims are shadows" and I think it might be "heard her call" rather than "heard a call" but other than that I'm sure these are the lyrics.

[mountainloafers]

I really love these lyrics. Close to what I am hearing. Going to sing it this way until there is absolute proof otherwise... Thanks for sharing them.

[foxeh]

"Oh, even in your aims are shadows/shallows"

Great interpretation, cheers :)

[panicked]

Here are the lyrics as printed in my Japanese copy: (I will try to update as many lyric threads as I can)

DLITBYH

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
Then she'd call
"When you're tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart"

Though we heavily bled
Still on we crawl
Try to catch a cannonball
And a slowly burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck I heard her call

"When you're feeling tired of racing
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rain and shadows
Still we're never going to part
Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart"

[foxeh]

Thanks panicked for all your contributes. :)

Are we so deaf or are those lyrics not correct or do we hear a wrong version because he really does't sing in the last part ''When you're feeling tired of racing'' he sings ''when you're tired of aiming your arrows''.

[periahdark]

Sometimes even printed booklet lyrics are wrong. I've seen it happen before. We will have to wait till Coldplay post the official lyrics on the recordings section of the site.

didnt see the interview the other day? Of chris talking about balls of Kungfu panda 2?
:rolleyes: It happened


If possible, could you post a video or a link of that interview? If you can't, not to worry.

[TheEscapist]

Love it!

[Ostrich]

Fast forward to about 5:08

[Hartroc]

I knew it was "burning tide!" :D

[Coldplay770]

I don't think it says "slowly burning tide". I think it says " and a soul burning tide". I think that would make more sense. "And a soul burning tide. Through my veins it's flowing".

They may still be up for interpretation so feel free to sign up and edit them as this thread develops further! :)

[Hartroc]

Maybe "slow-burning tide."

[Ash-MT]

Is it just me who thinks it's "Come on, believe me" instead of "baby"?

[bdevil89]

Man - wasn't an initial fan of the song based on it sounding like an amalgam of older songs but it perfect in that last trio of songs for the album and seals Mylo Xyloto as being one of their many masterpieces (more to come, i'm sure)

As far as lyrics - really love how Chris incorporates simple influences on him no matter the source (Kung Fu Panda 2, it's funny many people are impressed or laugh how much I remember from movies and incorporate or reference in my daily life, much like Chris or anybody with ADD and a good memory does)

Anyway, my interpretation of the lyrics is that song is less about heartbreak, and more about pushing on and fighting the good fight regardless of what's happened in the past.

AHT preceding it is brilliant especially with the same theme of MX - it's like their song/theme/signal or at least the movement's theme (kind of like Close Encounters Theme)- the way it starts off serene/blissful then boom right into the wide cinescape of the song - like he's running into an open field with new found hope and passion restored.

"And if I lost the map, If I lost it all" - the passion/love/hope has always been there - it will never go away (the MX theme is like the song Come What May in Moulin Rouge is for the two main characters)
"Or if I fell into a trap, Then she'd call" - it's like his lifeline - the hopeful transmission/theme/memories

"When you're tired of racing, And you find you never left the start" - he feels futile in his efforts like he's going nowhere, but she/theme is telling him perhaps it/she's always been there from the start (maybe subtle reference to The Scientist) or the love/passion never goes away, no matter what

"Come on baby - Don't let it break your heart" - Simple enough, no worries, be happy, fight on.

It continues with the theme of giving it your all/never giving up despite the heartache/scars/bruises -
"though we heavily bled, still on we crawl"
"Try to catch a cannonball" (Thanks Po from Kung Fu Panda 2, and perhaps Apple and Moses since he probably had to take them to see it)
"And a slowly burning tide is flowing through my veins" - He's reinvigorated with a fire to fight back despite the odds/or despite being brokenhearted

"From my shipwreck, I heard a call" - from his disaster/his lowest point - she or their song calls back to him

"When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rains and shadows
Still we never gonna part" Pretty self explanatory - Though he feels helpless and his efforts futile, they will always have what they had, and the movement will win against all odds.

Come on baby - don't let it break your heart - really love the last minute of the song, and the heartbeat sound at the end - and then the transition into the equally magnificient and uplifting Up With The Birds.

God I would love to see close their concerts - it would be such a rush - honestly if they need to close with ETIAW (perhaps as a reprise (like another call to arms), or a final song they could ) - just UWTB into MMIX into ETIAW.

anyway, sorry for the long post - great song, really loving it, and man, Coldplay just keep delivering after all these years - I think this is as good as Viva (and I love Viva, I think it's one of their masterpieces too - actually love how each song is musically different in it instrumentation in Viva, but like the storyline/concept of MX). Cheers.

[Drew42LP5]

It sounds like he's going to say:

"...still on we crawl...
TRY TO CATCH A CANTALOUPE"

I know it doesn't rhyme, but when listening to the song, I anticipated Chris saying "cantaloupe."

[Samuel_94]

I'm positive it's "burning." Not sure about the next word though, sounds like "tide" to me but that doesn't make sense.

I think so too!

[LoversInJapan]

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
Then she’d call
‘When you’re tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on baby
Don’t let it break your heart’

Though heavily we bled
Still on we crawl
Try to catch a cannonball
And a slowly burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck I heard her call

‘When you’re tired of racing
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rain and shadows
Still we’re never going to part
Come on baby
Don’t let it break your heart’


The last verse is so different than I thought. I like our version better =(

[Ostrich]

Our version is more accurate; there's no way Chris sings "When you're tired of racing" twice. There's nothing "official" about these lyrics, and it's embarrassing that they're being passed off as such. How they even ended up on coldplay.com is beyond me.

[LoversInJapan]

Yeah.. Thought it was very odd myself too and figured as much.
It´s odd that they put such inaccurate lyrics on their site..

[Pikrass]

The lyrics in this page (http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=849) are correct but not the ones in the recordings page...

[Connor!42!]

yep agreed. The 'official' lyrics regularly have mistakes in them. It's the same with Hurts Like Heaven

[ccalle]

If you want the chords as well; here they are ! PS. They also come with a tight ass cover.

Coldplay - AHT + Don't Let it Break Your Heart Cover (Chords in Description) - YouTube

[Romy_MX]

Is it about about the sea, sailing n stuff? the sound at the end kinda sounds like a whale :thinking2: :P

[sheak]

Are you looking for the real lyrics? They're on the Coldplay website: http://coldplay.com/recordings.php

Don't Let It Break Your Heart

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
Then she'd call
'When you're tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart'

Though heavily we bled
Still on we crawl
Try to catch a cannonball
And a slowly burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck I heard her call

She said 'When you're tired of aiming your arrows
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rains and shadows
Still we're never going to part
Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't let it break your heart
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't let it break your heart

Don't let it break your heart'
