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
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
[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...
