Coldplay Week: Day 3 - Fix You
5 days to COLDPLAY: THE VIVA LA VIDA TOUR
Oh well, no matter what happens, nothing can dampen my spirit for the upcoming Coldplay concert :)
Today I share arguably the best song out of X&Y, "Fix You". To me, compared to the other albums that Coldplay came up with, X&Y wasn't as impactful, although it did continue their trend of bringing a different sound to each album. "Fix You" is one of the more soulful songs of the album, and the lyrics are just golden. They say every Coldplay song will bring you something different, and this one doesn't disappoint. Definitely a song to listen to when you're feeling down on your luck and shitty. I love the part in the video when he swings that light globe around many times before hurling it out into the audience, and when the whole crowd joins in the last few lines, can bring tears to your eyes. Brilliant.
"Fix You" by Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
