Stole a key
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
To set me free
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me
In my scarecrow dreams
When they smashed my heart into smithereens
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
Be the cartoon heart
Light a fire, light a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We'll run wild oh
We'll be glowing in the dark
We'll be glowing in the dark
All the boys, all the girls
All that matters in the world
All the boys, all the girls
All that matters that occurs
All the highs, all the lows
As the room is spinning, oh
We'll run wild
We'll be glowing in the dark
Living innocent wild
We'll be glowing in the dark
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
To set me free
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me
In my scarecrow dreams
When they smashed my heart into smithereens
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
Be the cartoon heart
Light a fire, light a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We'll run wild oh
We'll be glowing in the dark
We'll be glowing in the dark
All the boys, all the girls
All that matters in the world
All the boys, all the girls
All that matters that occurs
All the highs, all the lows
As the room is spinning, oh
We'll run wild
We'll be glowing in the dark
Living innocent wild
We'll be glowing in the dark

It feels like he tries to forget the world but ...
Charlie Brown is about the guy trying to make it through life before meeting her. IT starts in the beginning with him stealing a car and going downtown to do drugs with the "lost boys". The lights going down at the end of the scene are cop cars coming. They show up and he gets busted. It is like his "scarecrow dreams", bad dreams of people destroying everything he ever wanted (drugs are the scarecrows that destroyed his life). The rose part is probably either the girl encouraging him to got back up again, or some other form of moral support. Then the moral support goes on to say (no that i listen to it, it probably is the girl) to him that he should be a cartoon heart. Be like Charlie Brown, who is always getting picked on and nothing really works out for him. Always get back up again. Finally, the glow in the dark is for both of them to always be a positive light to all the boys and girls with all their problems. They went through all their troubles and they want to glow, be a light and show them how to get through it.
This is one of my favorite songs on their album.
Good song i love that chorus music bit where it really loud :)
I think is about a teenager that feels insecure and he is trying to hide his problems or ignore it by having the wild life but even he's a lost boy he still is very inocent and he is expecting to be happy to find a way things can change.
All highly successful entertainers seem to go through this "metamorphosis" point in their career. After embarrassment. Falling to the deepest low that they can get to then being resurrected like a phoenix. Some rappers go to jail. Some are embarrassed publicly through ceremony (taylor Swift for one, michael jackson for another).
"Took what they offered me"...Robin thick and numerous other artists say these EXACT same lyrics.
I guess no one else Noticed The PYRAMID, like letter "A" at the TOP in the BEGINNING of the video...
I love Coldplay btw. And i have no problem with masons. Just Pointing out what people refuse to see.
