Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/yellow.html ]
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
It's true look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for...
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
Yellow signifies warmth and happiness like the sun's ray or the star and of course love. Apparently he is glowing with happiness and with love. Hence the title of the song
I think the word "yellow" stands for the part about love that we cannot explain. Yellow stands for the part where it cannot be described or contained, even within itself. When he says, "your skin and bones turn into something beautiful", hes talking about the fact that humans are just skin and bones, and yet beauty inexplicably comes out of it. Just like the sun: its just a big piece of burning gas, but damn it, it is yellow and beautiful :)
It's about how a man want's to give this girl he loves everything he can. The colour yellow actually means cowardice. So maybe he is just shy about being around her. It's a really sweet song. It makes me want to hold my love and never let her go. He doesn't know how to tell her how he feels about her. He watches from afar never getting closer. He would do anything for her. That is how much he loves her. He would give her the stars.

Yellow means how your love is for someone and how much love there is to give a person and how easy it is to lose someone
This song is actually dedicatd to his mother who had a disease (liver i think) and that causes the skin, eyes, etc. To turn yellow thats why it says "your skin oh yeah your skin and bones... "

For what i know, the lyrics have no meaning at all but i still love this song because i interpret it my way. I think it could be dedicated to a lover or family member. It's that beautiful to me!

He obviously loves her but is too " yellow" ( cowardly) too show her his true feelings. He does so much to make her see this but she only sees him like a friend. So he "bleeds himself dry" to try to make her see he's the one.
The way i see it is that this is a song from god to his creation. He is telling us that the starts shine for us, that he loves us so, that he would bleed himself dry for us. That he turned our lifeless skin and bones into something beautiful. God is great!
I think it's about being in love with a friend since yellow is a color of friendship like yellow roses for example. He loves her and would do anything and everything for her, but she probably has no idea. I think a lot of people can relate to that. Beautiful song
