Paradise - Coldplay
This is a song called Paradise by Coldplay. As a fan of Coldplay, I was excited to hear about their new single by then, which was this song a few months ago. I could not stop pressing the replay button; I was obsessed with it for awhile. Rather than a direct emotion of happiness or sadness, this song made me think back to my life in the past and how far I've come. My emotions depended on the thinking process, depeding on whether or not it was a happy memory or sad memory. This lovely song made me reflect back to my high school years, all the highs and lows I have gone through. I don't know why, but it works like a charm sometimes making me feel motivated. I think the piano, violin, drums, and sound effects sound united. At around 1:38, there is a computer sound that imitates the sound of butterflies, where I tend to imagine them flying around the field of flowers.
LYRICS:
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she'd fly.
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
La la la
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun must set to rise.
Para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
This could be para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
So lying underneath those stormy skies.
La la la La
She dreamed of para- para- paradise
And dreamed of para- para- paradise
Life goes on
When she was just a girl
