Coldplay: Us Against the World Meaning

Us Against the World Lyrics

Oh mornin' come burst in the clouds Amen
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
Bring back the water, let your ships roll in
In my heart she, left a hole

The tightrope that I'm walking, just sways, and ties
The devil, as he's talking...

   To me this song means that you've been so in love with this person in the the past and you're so in love them now, but had to deal with the things that have happened to both of you. This makes both of you the person you are today. Understand that everything is out of your control. You are so in love with your family and friends that you take care of everything you think you need to take care of and forget about taking care of the one you truly love. It's human nature. God makes you a stronger person after these things. Why did this happen? Not sure, but after time you appreciate everything more when it's gone. So, please appreciate everything that's here today...because it might not be here tomorrow. And if that person is the true love of your life, make sure you do the best you can do to make sure you are together for the rest of your lives!

   Love is magical in its ways of healing and breaking consequently,you know you are pierced and you will never be the same again but yet it sways you away making it all worthwhile

   To me personally, this song is about forgetting what is around you and focusing on your one true love. Love is such a powerful thing that when you're under it you feel like the biggest and strongest person and that you can conquer anything. It is a feeling you cannot control; true love.

   From Chris himself:
   "The whole thing is supposed to be a kind of story so they all fit together and that is the two characters from the previous two songs when they meet each other. It’s about meeting someone you love and feeling powerful, when you meet someone and suddenly everything feels alright again. "
