For me, this song has been a defining song for the past 5 years of my life. It was VERY difficult to put it to life. It pretty much covers what I have been through. One special person has been asking me repeatedly to do a video for it for quite some time. Finally, I have healed enough to almost do it justice. There is still evidence of the pain buried 5 layers deep in here, but for the most part, I feel it represents what the artists were saying. From Wikipedia: The song's lyrical themes include contrast, contradictions and urgency. Chris Martin sings of being in the state of "helplessness ... in a dysfunctional relationship he doesn't necessarily want to escape". The lyrics are cryptic; the ending lines of the second verse emphasize contradicting emotion: "Come out upon my seas/Cursed missed opportunities/Am I a part of the cure/Or am I part of the disease?". The song's title also "metaphorically alludes" to its lyrics, "pushing one to wonder about the worlds obsession with time while connecting it to the theory: make the best of it when were here, present and alive". Lyrics: The lights go out and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Have brought me down upon my knees Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing Come out of things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head And a trouble that can't be named A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing You are You are Confusion never stops Closing walls and ticking clocks Gonna come back and take you home I could not stop that you now ...
