This, to me, means that they are stuck in this terrible, consuming depression and no matter how many times they think they are healed, it just keeps pulling them back down. Say what you mean, but it won't change a sin, I'm sick of the secrets Stood on a bridge, tied to a noose, sick to the stomach I'm stuck on the end of this ball and chain, and I'm on my way back down again The last portion of the song is what really tugs at my heart: (I know I'm dead on the surface, but I am screaming underneath.) That they may look okay on the outside, but underneath the mask, they are falling apart completely. Then the song goes on to say that it feels as though there is just no chance of release from this suffering, it is so strong. I feel that the line "It's no cause for concern" is like a contradiction to everything that had been said thus far in the song it basically means don't worry about me, I'm fine, it's nothing-a total lie. (Time is on your side.) Even the most numbing, self destructive depression will pass with time and faith. Then it delivers the truth that time heals all wounds. Personally, I interpret this to be a song about a state of true devastation over the past, wasted time perhaps, that one brings upon themself, and becoming trapped in this state of excruciating melancholy that seems to suffocatingly wrap them up in a way that makes it feel as though there is no getting out, with literally no control over the pain and suffering one feels. It wasn't until about January of this year that I really heard the song's message. At first I didn't pay attention to the lyrics, I was just addicted to the eerie, beautifully sad sound of the song. I stumbled across it while searching for some new music to listen to on my Coldplay Pandora station the summer of 2012 while I was deep in a seemingly unending depression. This song has been my anthem for over a year now. It took a long time for me to realize that I was the one who put myself in that position and that only I could get myself out. You never think that you'd swerve out of control over someone like that, but then you do and it's like you really do need someone to cut you down. Unfortunately for me, she left me hanging and I had to learn to cut myself down. I'm not in any way suicidal, but on a figurative level I can understand the part about being on the edge tied to the noose. On the inside I was so miserable, and I hated myself. I don't show my troubles or make them obvious, and no one knew what I was going through. It's so unbelievably true for me, at least. If you've ever been depressed, you'd identify with the following line: My own inability to control my desire to be with this girl was more or less what led to me losing her, and I lost my head over it. I was very depressed and it felt like time was indeed pushing me around because I needed to wait and I didn't know how to. Personally, I was in a situation where I tried to force a relationship and I ended up in a hole because of it. Obviously it could be any number of things. ![]() He says he should have waited, but not what he should have waited for. To me this song is about depression and regret. I think the person cut him loose with all the baggage, but the way his voice sounds at the end seems to resonate with the realization that punishing himself in hopes that the perpetrator will save him in the end, and be sorry is futile and a waste of his life. How many people have been at a bottom and made a decision to confront say, an abusive parent, even if just to validate what happened, and the parent deny everything. To me, the song is about confronting a loved one who has been hurting you for a long time, all the while denying the true impact of their actions."You can say what you mean, But it won't change a thing, I'm sick of the secrets" I always imagine the person standing on the edge, the only thing keeping him or her from falling off is this horrible, tight noose around their neck, and instead of pulling them in, this other person cuts the rope. It is second in my mind only to Warning Sign. But I have another take on the ending, and I have always felt that this song is the darkest, rawest piece coldplay has released to date. When I first heard this song, I was carried away by Chris's voice, the way the music paced my feelings, and the way the crescendo made my heart explode.
