Viva La Vida

[01mymomma]

1,549 people don't like the song guys, not a big deal. Does not mean they don't want to "rule the world" 34,053 people love this song- so leave the haters in the dust and move on with the lovers like me <3 xD

[edddddyable]

positivo por causa do enem

[00013nataly]

cold play is awesome. leave them alone >:|

[Nick87429]

1549 people dont want to rule the world =|

[bharatbball]

@tantricia44 they completely ripped it off from Joe Satriani..

[tantricia44]

@bharatbball I wondered b/c it sounded so familiar. Thanks for the input. :)

[bharatbball]

@bigfort123 More like, Coldplay's arrogance and total dick-ness... anyway there's only so much I can complain about a gay band...

[CLBOO6]

1549 people can do nothing to Coldplay's awesomeness.

[luxgudintux]

greatest ever

[awahousam]

AWESOME SONG!!!! :D

[grchouinard]

I think they might be speaking of Moses. Seas would part, Saint Peter was long before Moses time...so he would have never called his name. Moses would have been a king of Egypt. and he did hold the keys for the kingdom. But, he called upon himself to perform miracles and not the Lord. A wicked and wild wind could be the plagues God brought on before the Hebrews release from bondage. Moses also never saw the promised land.

But then again I hate to try to find meaning in art.

[TheRealSuperSonic125]

1549 people no longer rule the world and sleep alone now

[Lar24man]

Does this ong have a meaning... not that it's important but, music this good should mean something.

[dramaticpickles]

I don't understand why thers guitar going on at 0:29 and all the other parts cause I don't hear any guitar :\

[TheLastOrigin]

@dramaticpickles maybe because he was spamming?

[marx2999]

Liberté, égalité, fraternité

[TheMorgan2212]

Wow, if you dislike this, then you must be a Justin Bieber fan, there must be no hope for u in music for you.

[kafre67151]

@TheMorgan2212 Some people just don't like this kind of music. Doesn't mean the like Justin Bieber. Honestly, you're an ass for not understanding that your taste in music isn't what everybody else likes.

[minion508]

2:48.....Did.....did he just cast a spell on me? I feel violated....

[bobolob]

@minion508 The spell is what brought you here. Those were just spirit fingers.

[Coldfan223]

@minion508 I think so, i think so :(

:D

[boogertypo]

how can you not like coldplay?

[Paulph04]

Coldplay are like the sound of Satan's scrotum emptying. They're abysmal.

[xXxDarkxXxEmotionxXx]

Our school is doing a dance and singing to this song (the choir) I love it! :D

[kafre67151]

@xXxDarkxXxEmotionxXx They can't. It's against the law. This is a religious song. Separation of Church and State. First amendment. Your choir can't sing Viva la Vida legally. And, if they do, they can get in serious trouble with the law.

[530012838]

@kafre67151 Yes it is Against the law but To Like Resing It They Have To Ask The Author And Get Legal Yes

[kafre67151]

@530012838 It is against FEDERAL law to use religious songs in a SCHOOL. Separation of church and state. No school, by law, can sing religious songs. I'm honestly surprised every school in the nation hasn't been shut down for forcing students to sing religious songs during the Winter Solstice. Which is what Christianity hijacked and made christmas.

[superbetoboyrules]

@kafre67151 so not even catholic or christian schools can sing it?

[kafre67151]

@superbetoboyrules Public schools can't, but private schools can. Because private schools are funded by donations and admissions, not by the government. Christian and Catholic schools, which shouldn't exist, are private schools.

[superbetoboyrules]

@kafre67151 is this in america because my catholic school is in england and its free to go to

[wannabetyouarefat]

@superbetoboyrules how did you get from coldplay to that subject? :D

[superbetoboyrules]

@wannabetyouarefat i just saw kafre's comment telling someone else about it so i was intrigued

[kafre67151]

@superbetoboyrules I'm not sure about England, but in America, separation of church and state is a federal law.

[superbetoboyrules]

@kafre67151 ahh probably is here as well

[arcticmonker]

i posted a 2000 word explanation on this page @ yesterday

[BlueMJBerries]

One of my fave songss---Coldplay is like one of the most beautiful bands I LOVEE. <3<3 ^^V I mean, LISTEN to them...their melodies, endless metaphors, oozing creativity, and songs [like THIS one] that just make you feel so gooddd :)) I wish I went to their Viva La Vida concert, ack!!

When I hear this, I imagine my God-given life so free of problems~~They just float away... xD

And WHO THE HECK is stupid enough to post JUSTIN BIEBER comments on here, please? He's not a unique artist:teenybopper.

[Katiee4624]

Does anyone know the meaning of this song?

[TravelSYS]

@Katiee4624 What's great about music is you can have your own interpretation of the lyrics. When I analyzed the lyrics I think the song is about the rise and fall of a King and how being King made him an evil person. "I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word, now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own."

[TravelSYS]

@Katiee4624 He was once loved and feared. "I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemies eyes" "listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king is dead, long live the king."

The fall of a King. "It was the wicked and wild wind, blew down the doors to let me in" Shattered windows and the sound of drums, people couldn't believe what I'd become." "Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate"

[TravelSYS]

@Katiee4624 He also learned that being King isn't all it's cracked up to be.

"one minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me and I discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand." Also "Just a puppet on a lonely string, Oh who would ever wanna be King"

Parts of the chorus remind me of the movie 'Kingdom of Heaven.' "I hear Jerusalem bells ringing, Roman cavarly choirs singing, be my mirror my sword and shield, Missionaries in a foreign field."

[TravelSYS]

@Katiee4624 Being King made him evil and he will not be going to Heaven. "For some reason I can't explain, once you go it was never, never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world" and "I know St. Peter won't call my name, never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the World"

This is really a great song. The melody goes really good with the lyrics.

[Raymondhe437]

@Katiee4624 I would say Napoleon and his defeat. It reminds me strongly of him after his defeats from the Russians and then British. He was seen first as they described him and then eventually did get smashed!

[StaticEmonga]

Now in the morning, I sleep alone.

[JHandcock1111]

i just listen to the song and dont watch the video, no afence whatsoever to coldplay but it just creepys me out the way hes moving..

[arcticmonker]

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

And finally, we have the reference of Saint Peter I think is also telling. Tiberius was the emperor during the life and crucifixion of Jesus Christ; in fact, his representative the Governor, Pontius Pilate actually condemned Jesus Christ to that fate. As such it would not be impossible to have seen the rise of Christianity to fear he would not be allowed into Heaven

[arcticmonker]

However, the trials and the fear aroused by the conspiracy had an exhausting effect on Tiberius. Eventually, and in an almost unheard of step, he voluntarily went into exile on the island of Capri, leaving the administration of Rome to his bureaucrats. The conventional historical wisdom is Tiberius grew paranoid of the plots and came to loathe the position of ruler; essentially, becoming an unwilling ruler. Now, I think the whole episode of Sejanus is reflected in that telling passage:

[arcticmonker]

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

In 31 AD Lucius Aelius Sejanus attempted to organize a coup to overthrow Tiberius and install himself as the new emperor. In the end, the plot was discovered and the conspirators were tried for treason (and was killled meanly. The trial also paved the way for a reign of terror of sorts, where Tiberius purged a number of potential threats to his power, leading to many deaths.

its Tiberius, the second Roman Emperor. He reigned during the life of Christ and Peter, which would explain the references to goings-on in Jerusalem. The Roman Emperor was viewed as a living god, virtually omnipotent, which would explain the references to controlling the sun. Tiberius was also a ruthless and successful Roman general, which would explain the comments about "roll the dice" (as in, in battle) and seeing the "fear
