Best Coldplay Lyrics Ever - Page 2

Amsterdam. Without a doubt the most beuatiful and touching lyrics Coldplay's ever written.

My favorite line:

Stuck on the edge
On this ball and chain

Luff.

yeah i agree with the above ^ ......
lol no they are good though
Parachutes lyrics are nice:

in a haze, in a stormy haze
i'll be round, i'll be loving you always

alyaarene · 30-06-2005, 12:34 AM

Here's a couple of my favorites:

Don't Panic:
Oh, all that i know
there's nothing here to run from
Cuz yet everybody here's got somebody to lean on

A Warning Sign:
You came back to haunt me and I realised
That you were an island and I passed you by
And you were an island to discover

Til Kingdom Come
For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

And the list goes on and on.....

the list does go on .. i could pull lovely lyrics out of nearly every Coldplay song

"Lights will guiiiiide you home, and igniiiiite your bones, and I wil try to fix you"

"But questions of science, sience and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart"

"In a bulletproof vest, with the windows all closed, I'll be doing my best, I'll see you soon"

Interesting how the three songs I'll most readily cite as having Chris' best lyrics are all album closers: "Everything's Not Lost", "Amsterdam", and "Til Kingdom Come"(I consider it X&Y's true closer, even if "Twisted Logic" was the intended finale).

"When I counted up my demons.
I found there was one for every day,
With the good ones on my shoulder,
I drove the other ones away"

It's more desciptive than he usually makes his lyrics, which is why I like it. Deep, hopeful, not indulging in self-pity, but makign an effort to see thigns through with a smile on his face.

"Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
I know I'm dead on the surface
But I'm screaming underneath"

Kind of the flip side of the aforementioned verse, but knowing the rest of the song isn't so hapless helps the line along. Honest and aching.

And... I can't actually cite a specific example from "Til Kingdom Come", because it's all so good. It's actually a more spiritual-sounding song than coldplay's usual boy-girl dynamics; I can detect some Biblical inferrences that may or may not have been deliberate.(Though not a fan, this could be because it was intended for Johnny Cash. I'm just supposing...)

Sarah87 · 07-07-2005, 04:33 AM

there's alot ofcourse but that's what came to my mind right now.

We Never Change
"Oh and I don't have a soul to save
yeah and I sin every single day"

hidde1515 · 08-07-2005, 10:25 AM

Honey you are a rock, upon which I stand
-
Honey you are the sea, upon which I float

--Green Eyes

green eyes88 · 09-07-2005, 05:25 PM

"Anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind!"- from green eyes always makes me feel good...

"And time is on your side, it's on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It's no cause for concern"- Amsterdam (of course...)

green eyes88 · 09-07-2005, 05:27 PM

But I actually agree with everyone... all the lyrics from amsterdam are awesome... can't choose
