Coldplay – Viva la Vida Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe it's a song about death. Chris sings it from a dying man's point of view. In summary, the meaning of the song is: Live Life, because placing yourself in first place and stabbing people in the back to be best isn't worth the trouble. In other words, a dying man regrets and leaves the advice: viva la vida!

Keane – Bedshaped Lyrics 17 years ago
Two things formed my view point as to the meaning:
A. The music video for this song, which depicts a trashed character who suffers from vice.
B. Tom's personal battle with alcoholism.

Personally, this song to me is about vice. "Bedshaped" and "legs of stone" refer to the effects of vice, and the "white light" refers to the promises that vice make.
The "What do I know" and "I know" take on new meaning if you consider that Tom knows vice and what it is to battle it.
