Major Minus lyrics

Its a warning to someone to be careful of their stalker

I think the band have been or maybe still are in bed with the illuminati and in some ways these lyric are a warning to us all. Like the david ike point, not thought of that one.

I reckon this song is about drugs, and paranoia. "they got one eye watching you... One eye on what you do" - clearly a sign that he believes everyone is out watching him, and the person he's meant to be singing this to. Then this isn't much to do with the lyrics, but the chorus sounds drug-influenced... All psychedelic rock, if you have a listen.
Finally, the bridge part: "i got my right side fighting by my left side on the chairs"... I think he's beginning to dissociate his "right side" from his "left side"... He's clearly not quite right in the head. It's a sign of depersonalization, a symptom of taking too many hallucinogenic drugs like lsd.
I'm not a doctor, but i've looked this up on the internet; of course if there are any real doctors/medical students out there feel free to correct any mistakes i made.

People are going to try fight against your love (one eye watching you)
And they will say anything to split you up (but don't believe a word)
You have to stick together (it’s just us against the world)
And don't be afraid to defend what you have (we just gotta turn up to be heard)

I think it may have a reference to the los iluminatis

Have a feeling these lyrics are wrong... They sound different to me. ,':/
I think its chris martin warning his lover/the listener/whoever that we're being watched so much by cctv nowadays... Call me a pessimist.
And how come its missing a verse?
I like the ref. To the crocodile in peter pan- links to the fact that you'll be hunted all the time/or... They're always on the look out- time bomb waiting to happen type thing. Very vague.
Here's my version of the lyrics; they work, but it might just be me...

They got one eye watchin' you,
And one eye on what you do,
So be careful who it is you’re talking to,

They got one eye on watchin' you,
And one eye on what you do,
So be careful what it is you're trying to do,

And be careful when you're walkin' in to view,
Just be careful when you're walking in to view...

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the world and one on you!

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the world and one on...

They got one eye watchin' you
And one eye on what you do
So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true

But don't believe a word
It’s just us against the world
And we just gotta turn up to be heard

Hear those crocodiles ticking 'round the world
Hear those crocodiles ticking (they go) ticking 'round the world

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the world and one on you!

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the world and one on ….

She can hear them climbin' the stairs,
I got my heart stopped,
Finding one o'them magpies under the chairs...

Ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the world and one on you!

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the world and one on you!

If you dunno where i'm coming from, thats fine. Just thought i'd add my view...

Allegromontroppo is thinking what im thinking. The "one eye" may refer to the eye of horus, or the eye of big brother. The ticking crocodile is possibly a reference to the crocodile in peter pan, however possibly a double meaning there with the david icke reptilian theory. Not that there's reptile aliens controlling the world but the primitive reptile consciousness thats in us all hence the "(you go) ticking around the world" just a few thoughts :)

I am just getting strong flashbacks of 1984... Big brother... (- _ -;)... And brave new world... But i am the paranoid type so go figure...

I think that this song uses different aspects of driving as an analogy to life.

The first part of the song says that dwelling on the past can be a major distraction ("you got one eye on what you knew"), while you're trying to do something new with your life ("and one eye on what you do"). Another line that talks about the perils of indulging too much in the past is "so be careful when you're walking in the view" where "view" really means "rear-view mirror" - a mirror into the life that has gone by.

Chris martin then switches gears and assures his lover (i assume that who he always talks to) that no matter what the "road" ahead (i.e. The future) looks like and what the dangers ("crocodiles"), he will always have "one eye on the road" (challenges of the future) and "one eye on you" (love/care for her).
