Ok, So since I’ve been in New Orleans this week, I’ve been listening to the new Coldplay album “Viva La Vida“….alot. I love it!!! It’s got a lot of old school religious lyrics in it and I know God’s got something in it that i’m trying to find. I’m going to post a couple of songs and the lyrics and just talk through them for fun. Feel free to comment or just listen to this awesome music!
Coldplay: Cemeteries of London
Lyrics:
At night they would go walking ‘till the breaking of the day,
The morning is for sleeping…
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way,
Save the nighttime for your weeping…
Your weeping…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London lay…
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring,
For their curses to be broken…
We’d go underneath the arches where the witches are in the saying,
There are ghost towns in the ocean…
The ocean…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London lay…
God is in the houses and God is in my head… and all the cemeteries in London…
I see God come in my garden, but I don’t know what he said,
For my heart it wasn’t open…
Not open…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London lay…
Singing la lalalalala la lé…
There’s no light over London today…
I might suggest the song is about a graveyard watchman looking for God and his voice?
I love the towards the end of the song where the character realizes God is speaking in everything but his heart wasn’t open! So good!
