Who is responsible for the lyrics?

Can you please cite the source, not the url, but the person who painstakingly put pen to paper and generated this text? I am not a Coldplay fan, but intellectual honesty is all we have....

I can appreciate Coldplay, but please do not compare Chris Martin to John Lennon! Just don't.

In keeping with the thread, I think everyone should take the lyrics for how they see them. No artist is going to predict the end of the world, just as no matter of conversation on these boards will.

I think we're getting to the point where more people are thinking "hey, this really might be the end of the world" and they're talking about it. A musician's way of talking about it involves putting it to song. Any hidden meaning in these songs (ANY song) are not prediction of the end of the world, just someone with a bit of musical talent and rhythm talking about it just as we are.

Interesting suggestions. I was aware of NIN's latest, but have yet to get ahold of it.

Re: Boards of Canada...how so?

Regards.

I was drawn to this thread because:


  1. I'm a "fan" of Coldplay's music
  2. In so being, I've delved a bit deeper into what their lyrics may be telling listeners
  3. I firmly believe that mainstream artists/entertainers are working in the same power pyramid as the rest of humanity, and those who are "enlightened" [or should I say "illuminated"] enough to succeed greatly in the industry are privy to the inner workings of said pyramid more than the average Joe
  4. I find the OP's premise to be worthy of consideration
  5. the video for "Life in Technicolor ii" shows the band as puppets


By the way, for you who clearly dislike the musicians, your input on this thread is negligible. Your disdain for the band, which in and of itself is acceptable, is clouding your poor attempts at discourse with childish emotion and reactionary posting. What would possibly convince you that artists are not capable of witnessing and commenting on the zeitgeist of our times? That's what artists so often DO. Disliking a band is fine, but add something besides petty insults to your commentary, or else save it for your own angry mind.

oh man ur great...the puppet thing is amazing , it just fits perfectly , didnt notice that...and i agree with you regarding the pyramid stuff..and that Chris Martin is somehow acting againt their wave..maybe is what John Lennon did and for what he got killed?....is Chris Martin revealing some plans of the higher part of the pyramind?

10q for you comments

The artist can't predict wars. They only write music that they feel or enjoy to sing about.

So yes this song is about a nuke war. He describes the scene but it dosen't really say a nuke or anything but it describs bombs going off glowing the streets. I think we are just assuming he is talking about a nuke because of the brightness of the light when one goes off.I personally think this song is about war and introducing the effects on the next generations. If you saw the video it gives hints to what the song was about. It's about welcoming a new generation to a world where we still have war and they will suffer with it.

that's really about it. I don't think he is saying that their is a world war 3 coming just talking about todays problems currently.

If I could star you more than once I would. I really enjoy their music and yes, they're big on the conspiracy theories! Makes for a fun listen.

I agree with the Vagina Whisperer (groingrinder), in that musicians aren't prophets. I don't believe anyone is except, I have met an entire village full of what seemed to be prophets.

In 2000, when my regiment was first kicking off I was stationed in a small village in South Africa about 40 miles outside of Pretoria, and a few Boers were giving the people some trouble, so we were there to protect them. When we first got there we were expecting to be greeted with happy, smiling people showering us with gifts, but when we arrived, no one was outside.

I thought I understood why, because the Boers were bothering these people so they were simply hiding to protect themselves. But when we came to the door of the Chiefs "palace", they all began to hiss in a strange way.

Then an old man and his wife i presume came out of their homes (they were next to the chiefs home) and called for me and two of my buddies over to them. So we did, and they just told me the creepiest thing, that still creeps me out.

They told us that the entire village had received a "gift" of knowledge the night before. They said that a strange rumbling began from all around them, followed by nothing. Then their fire burst everywhere, and then went out. Afterward the couple told us that once the fire went out they all saw the planes hitting the twin towers, and flashing images of generals, soldiers, and then bombings.

They warned us about 9/11, and told us "do not trust those who seem the most trustworthy".

The man and woman then told us to watch the worlds back in the next fifty years. I don't know why, but it really disturbed me more than anything else ever had.

Now, I don't think they were "prophets" cause that's all they told that was clear...but that was really weird especially the "do not trust those who seem the most trustworthy".

That quote is what got me into the idea that 9/11 was maybe an inside job.

This might've just been a coincidence you might say, or you might say "how dare you blame the lives of thousands on their own government!", but until something like this happens to you, you tend not to believe it.
