And in the bridge, 'So lying underneath those stormy skies, she said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I know the sun must set to rise.' Shows a change of heart and even though she is still lying in the middle of her problems, she realizes that for her dreams to rise, she has to first experience hardship. 'In the night, the stormy night, she closed her eyes, in the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly, and dreamed of para- para- paradise' Depicts that in the darkest part of her life, she takes refuge in her dreams once again and dreams about her castle, dreams of her Prince Charming and her fairytale life. 'Every tear, a waterfall,' shows the girl crying every single day and feels hopeless. She might have be gentle and shy, just like a butterfly.
#Coldplay paradise lyrics meaning full#
The wheel might have taken a full cycle back to sadness and depression and 'breaks the butterfly' with the butterfly being symbolic to the girl. 'The wheel breaks the butterfly,' might reference the Wheel of Forture where in Medieval times, and wheel was said to have been placed and goes through a cycle of happiness and sorrow.
'Life goes on, it gets so heavy.' The now teenage girl lives by herself and with her parents possibly deceased, has a lot of mortgage to pay off and gives her depression. And now in the second verse, 'and the bullets catch in her teeth' might show that in her perfect world, she was invincible and that nothing could stop her. 'So she ran away in her sleep, and dreamed of para- para- paradise, every time she closed her eyes.' The little girl now despises her life, and so takes limbo in her dreams and thinks about her perfect life when she was younger. 'But it flew away from her reach' meaning that as she got older, her parents expected her to be mature and start working for herself, and she starts to struggle, with all her dreams falling apart. She expected the world to be a fairytale where she would live in a grand castle and marry her Prince Charming. This could have been from her parents being kind and loving to her. In the first verse, 'when she was just a girl, she expected the world' shows that when the little girl was young, she saw life as being perfect. Sometimes that is not possible and that theme shines clear in the lyrics of the song when Martin says "And I will try to fix you." The song debuted on the hit teen drama The O.C.My interpretation is more straightforward than the other ones but here goes. To see someone you love hurting causes pain and frustration, and for most men there is an intense desire to try and fix the problem. The need to try and fix the problem of someone you love rings out in this song. A musical inspiration for the song was a track called Megalomania by the band Muse.įix You could be the anthem for most men in relationships. Martin said that upon plugging in the keyboard for the first time an incredible noise came out and Martin used that as inspiration for the song.
In USA Today Martin mentioned that his father-in-law Bruce Paltrow had purchased a large keyboard before his death and had never played it. The song is about singer Chris Martin trying to comfort his wife who had to deal with the death of her father. Fix you, from the band's massive hit record X & Y, reached number 59 in the US and number 4 in the UK.
