Oh, and I think it's "sleep crucified."

in the verses that go as follows:

"fall asleep
fall asleep
sleep satisfied
sleep satisfied"

the second line isn't another 'fall asleep'. it's the same in each of these verses, but it's not that. but i can't offer an alternative.

this song's definitely different. i think what they were trying to do never came to full fruition - i don't think they executed this as well as intended. but it's still great.

"Fall asleep
Fall asleep"

I don't hear the 'ssss' in the second line. I think it's:

"Fall asleep
Follow me
Sleep satisfied
Sleep satisfied"

Whatever it is... amazing song.

Can't believe it's only been 8 days since I heard this album, it's been virtually all I've been listening to, feel like I know it inside out already. Best thing they've put out since Parachutes and by quite a margin too.

It should be:

Sleeping is a satisfier

and:

Sleeping is a crucifier

...i think. good song anyways.

The previous song on the album was Yes, which had themes of loneliness or sex. I believe this song advocates sleeping of those problem areas, as a cure.

i'm pretty sure the lyrics are "sleep mystifies" not "sleep crucifies" and also "sleep satisfies" not "satisfied".

i love this song so much.

Great tune. The sort of song you can just have playing in the background while you lay and gaze at the night sky.

It is the best song on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.

yeah, I'm pretty sure the third and fourth lines go:
fall asleep
ahhh ooohhh.
Then he says something low that I can't make out later in the song.
It has something to do with sleep, but I can't tell what else.

Love the melody, but...something about the lyrics just rubs me the wrong way.

This song has a very "Shoegaze" sound, with the layered guitar and soft vocals. I think it's amazing that a band like Coldplay would venture into this style, even if just for one song.

Viva la Vida is an awesome album, I can't get over how great it is.

Also, in true Shoegaze fashion, Jonny Buckland uses a Fender Jazzmaster.
