| Coldplay – What If Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
What if there was no light Nothing wrong, nothing right (I think this is symbolic for human life. Without beauty and destruction our lives would be empty and meaningless) What if there was no time And no reason or rhyme What if you should decide That you don’t want me there by your side That you don’t want me there in your life (everything is fragile and we shouldnt anything for granted. nothing is certain and we have no control over our future no matter how hard we try.) What if I got it wrong And no poem or song Could put right what I got wrong Or make you feel I belong What if you should decide That you don’t want me there by your side That you don’t want me there in your life (I think he might be talking about gwen, or just relationships that people have in general. Same "everything is fragile" concept.) Oooh, that’s right Let’s take a breath, jump over the side Oooh, that’s right How can you know it if you don’t even try Oooh, that’s right (life is short, you can't expect everything to turn out the way you want it to - life is about taking risks and discovering your boundaries) Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break But that’s the risk that you take What if you should decide That you don’t want me there in your life That you don’t want me there by your side Ooh, that’s right Let’s take a breath, jump over the side Ooh, that’s right How can you know it when you don’t even try Ooh, that’s right Ooh, that’s right Let’s take a breath, jump over the side Ooh, that’s right You know the darkness always turns into light Ooh, that’s right (life is scary, but real discoveries come from chaos, going to the place that looks wrong and foolish.) |

| Matthew Good Band – Indestructible Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think, in a lot of ways, this song is about innocence and basic love. He's singing about him and another person(girl), who see the world different than most people. They are more concerned with being genuinely happy then letting the jadedness of the world get to them. "We won't say a thing, while you give you live away" refers to most people - who are too cynical/jaded to believe in real love/happiness. | |

| Coldplay – Swallowed in the Sea Lyrics | 19 years ago |

it's rare that song lyrics stand out to me, but this song immediately grabbed my attention. This "person A" was feeling lost and confused, for whatever reason, and is singing about "person B", who saved them from heading down a dangerous path. I think there is something keeping them from being together - whether it be distance, etc. This had caused Person B to give up hope of ever being happy and just wanted to settle for less ("swallowed in the sea" of fish), but Person A had completely selfless feelings for them and knew that they deserved better. . I'm not sure if I believe in the idea of soulmates, but I think this song pretty accurately describes it. Two people who are meant to be together in the end, no matter what. Fate only takes you so far, the rest is up to you. I'm dealing with something like this right now, it's tough and it hurts - but I have faith. complete faith. it seems ridiculously naive but I can't change the way I feel. I refuse to settle for less. I kind of feel like a tool for writing this, I just felt like letting it out. |
