Speed Of Sound Lyrics
how long before I get in
before it starts, before I begin how long before you decide before I know what it feels like where to? Where do I go? if you've never tried then you'll never know how long do I have to climb up on the side of this mountain of mine look up, I look up at night planets are moving at the speed of light climb up, up in the trees every chance that you get is a chance you seize how long am I gonna can stand with my head stuck under the sand I start before I can stop before I see thing the right way up all that noise, all that sound all those places that i have found and birds go flying at the speed of sound to show how it all began birds came flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand ideas that you'll never find or the inventors could never design the buildings that you put up Japan and China... all lit up the sign that I couldn't read or the light that I couldn't see some things you have to believe but others are puzzles, puzzling me all that noise, all that sound all those places that i have found and birds go flying at the speed of sound to show how it all began birds came flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand all those signs I knew what they meant something you can't invent Some get made, and some get sent ooh words go flying at the speed of sound to show how it all began birds came flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand oh, when you see it then you'll understand |

Although, the lyrics on here are written wrong.
Its "And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began."

The following are taken from www.coldplaying.com, so i doubt they're incorrect:
how long before I get in
before it starts, before I begin
how long before you decide
before I know what it feels like
where to?
Where do I go?
if you've never tried then you'll never know
how long do I have to climb
up on the side of this mountain of mine
look up, I look up at night
planets are moving at the speed of light
climb up, up in the trees
every chance that you get
is a chance you seize
how long am I gonna can stand
with my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
before I see thing the right way up
all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i have found
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
ideas that you'll never find
or the inventors could never design
the buildings that you put up
Japan and China... all lit up
the sign that I couldn't read
or the light that I couldn't see
some things you have to believe
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i have found
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
all those signs I knew what they meant
something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
ooh
words go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
oh, when you see it then you'll understand

I can listen to this song on repeat for, forever. It brings up some weird emotion, like pure happiness... all in slow motion, it lasts forever!!
LOVE IT

This song just kicks mighty ass, though I have a hard time thinking of Coldplay's songs as "happy" like some Coldplay fans always seem to say. Their melodies are are the minor key (the "sadder" key) and always have a mood of anguish in them, which to me is more of a stress-energy and not so much a happy-energy. But whatever, rock on!

I think the chorus has a direct link to how songs can give you inspiration, "birds flying" at the "speed of sound" means the songs that free you and broaden your mind, even your own songs can bring to the surface things you had kept in your unconscious "underground"
I'm torn between the meaning of the third verse, it could mean the limitation of human knowledge and the human mind, there are so many things that we'll never even think about "Ideas that you'll never find" and that perhaps other people and other songs can find them for you.
The next line, however, seems to be about the expanse of your imagination, or the things locked away in your mind and I believe its "ALL the inventors could never design the buildings that you put up" i.e in your imagination,
and then it seems to revert back to the idea that our knowledge is limited "some things you have to believe but others are puzzles puzzling me" or it could mean that we all have different interpretations about things and we'll understand some things and others will understand other things... I guess that's what this site is all about!

"Meanwhile, the vibrant first single, "Speed of Sound," is all about reconnecting with the spirit and soul in the face of the paparazzo's flashbulbs."
Sweet song--I can't wait for their new cd to come out:)
