Lovers, keep on the road you're on
Runners, until the race is run
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/lovers_in_japan.html ]
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, we are gonna get out
Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohh ohh...
Dreaming of when the morning comes
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out
This song defines optimism. It speaks to me because i'm quite the pessimist, and i wish i could take the metaphorical advice given through the lyrics of this song. I love it.
I love this song. I don't really know the meaning, but the overall mood of the song seems to be "hope". It seems to give the message of "hold on, don't give up, things will get better". I love the way this song is beautiful and peaceful, but has a good strong rhythm at the same time.
Aw. I love this song. It's the perfect love song. It's seriously one of the best! I like coldplay with out the falsetto kind of voices. It's better this way! I hope you all find good meaning in this song. ^-^
Coldplay never ever ever fails to writ a perfect lovely song i have no dought at all about this song heroes93 your right long live coldplay if this band broke up it would be a serious tradgedy for all of the fans i like the video for the song everything is just perfect. =)
[i don't really have a meaning for this song, and i know i really should if i'm going to be writing a meaning, but i just wanted to say that coldplay is f*cking awesome and i love this song. X3 (go on, mark me down. I dare you. )]
Their lyrics might not make sense, but the song, the rythem and sound is awsome. Thats what i like about this band. Thier music is cool even though you cant understand
For those of you who don't know this song lover's in japan is an analogy for couples or lovers to stay strong and stay together despite the distractions and temptations of life and the occasional difficulties of monogamy. Hence the first line
'lovers stay on the road you on'
'soldiers you got to soldier on'
Japan is a notoriously busy, cosmopolitan place with lots of people, bright lights and distractions. Like time square on acid.
I love the video... Something like paper butterflies falling from the sky... They are turning my head out
to see what i'm all about
keeping my head down
to see what it feels like now
but i have no doubt
one day the sun will come out
gosh, the way he sings it in the chorus reminds me of life in technicolor ii. Weird...
