| i was listening to the millions of cds i got for christmas, one of which was coldplay. after really listening to some of the songs from a rush of blood to the head, i seriously started to wonder if the band was christian. i mean, really. it's weird because if you listen to secular music (and i'm not saying coldplay is secular just yet) long enough, then it starts to sound christian. and i'm not talking about the rap and the bling. i'm talking about things like, let's see... ryan cabrera. check these lyrics out: Sick and tired of this world There's no more air Tripping over myself, going nowhere Waiting, suffocating, no direction I took a dive and On the way down I saw you, and you saved me from myself And I won't forget the way you loved me And on the way down I almost fell right through But I held on to you Been wondering why it's only me Have you always been inside waiting to breathe It's alright, sunlight on my face I wake up and yet, I'm alive 'cuz I was so afraid of going under But now, the weight of the world Feels like nothing, no nothing (down, down, down) You're all I wanted (down, down, down) You're all I needed (down, down, down) You're all I wanted You're all I needed And I won't forget the way you loved me All that I wanted, all that I needed now if they played this on wmhk, then of course people would assume ryan cabrera sings christian music. he wears a cross necklace sometimes. but then again, in celebrity terms, the cross is all souped up with diamonds now and is basically just a fashion accessory. weird, huh? but here are some coldplay lyrics. think of them in god's light. okay this is "clocks," one of their most popular songs- won a grammy. Lights go out and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against You've put me down upon my knees Oh I beg, I beg and plead Come out of things unsaid Shoot, an apple off my head. And the Trouble that cant be named The tiger's waiting to be tamed singin' You are You are Confusion never stops Closing walls and ticking clocks Gonna come back and take you home I could not stop but you now know, singin' Come out upon my seas, Curse missed opportunities Am I a part of the cure Or am I part of the disease, singin' You are, you are You are, you are You are, you are Nothing else compares. Oh, no nothing else compares Oh, no nothing else compares You are You are Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go here's "in my place," another popular one. In my place, in my place were lines that I couldn't change I was lost, Oh yeah I was lost, I was lost Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed I was lost, Oh yeah Yeah, How long must you wait for it? Yeah, How long must you pay for it? Yeah, How long must you wait for it? Oh for it I was scared, I was scared Tired and under prepared But I’ll wait for it If you go, if you go Leave me down here on my own then I’ll wait for you (yeah) Yeah, How long must you wait for it? Yeah, How long must you pay for it? Yeah, How long must you wait for it? Oh for it. Singing Please, please, please come back and sing to me to me, me Come on and sing it out, Now, Now Come on and sing it out, To me, me come back and sing In my place, in my place were lines that I couldn't change I was lost, oh yeah this is "amsterdam." the end seems most relevant to salvation or redemption. Come on, oh my star is fading I swerve out of control If I, If I'd only waited I'd not be stuck here in this hole. Come here, oh my star is fading And I swerve out of control And I swear I waited and waited I've got to get out of this hole But time, is on your side It's on your side, now Not pushing you down And all around It's no cause for concern.. Come on, oh my star is fading And I see, no chance of release And I'm dead on the surface But I'm screaming underneath And time is on your side It's on your side, now Not pushing you down And all around Oh, It's no cause for concern Stuck on the end of this ball and chain And I'm on my way back down. Stood on the edge Tied to a noose Sick to the stomach You can say what you mean But it won't change a sin I'm sick of the secrets Stood on the edge, tied to a noose and you came along but you cut me loose You came along and you cut me loose You came along and you cut me loose not as relevant as the others; this is "amsterdam." A whisper A whisper I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks, Remember your face, so remember t'see where you are gone, I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks, Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper Night turns to day and I still have these questions, Who just could blame, shall I go forwards or backwards? And not since today and I still get no answers Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper Now I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks, Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone, I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks, Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper to me this is more symbolic. beautiful words. called "daylight." To my sunk eyes On my daylight I saw a sunrise I saw a sunlight. I have nothing In the dark And the clouds burst To show the daylight Oooh and the sunshine Yeah on a starry night Ooooh and I realized Ooooh could I live without Ooooh could I part without On a hill top On the sky rise Like a first born Child On a full day On a full flight I feel darkness In the daylight Oooh and the sunshine Yeah on a starry night Ooooh and I realized Ooooh could I live without Ooooh could I part without daylight Slowly breaking through the daylight... and the grand finale. to me this just screams repentance. it's "the scientist." Come up to meet you, Tell you I'm sorry, You don't know how lovely you are. I had to find you, Tell you I need you, Tell you I set you apart. Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions, Oh, let's go back to the start. Runnin' in circles, Comin' up tails, Its only science apart. Nobody said it was easy, It's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard. Oh, take me back to the start. I was just guessing, At numbers and figures, Pulling the puzzles apart. Questions of science, Science and progress, Do not speak as loud as my heart. Tell me you love me, Come back and haunt me, Oh, when I rush to the start. Runnin' in circles, Chasin' tails, Comin' back as we are. Nobody said it was easy, Oh, it's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be so hard. I'm goin' back to the start. aren't those words incredible? to me it is all obvious. danny let me listen to this at my birthday party a while back. i didn't pay half as much attention to the words then as i did last night. on another note, the "tsunami disaster" as cnn calls it. it's devastating. it really is. it reminds me how vulnerable we are to nature. i mean we sit here and expect people to just die in car crashes and overdosages and etcetera, but we never expect a stinking TSUNAMI to come and reek (sp?) havoc. man i'm definitely praying for them. i mean... man. and i know that, in that area, hindu is dominant. i think it made satan happy. which is entirely unfortunate. and completely sad. but for now, i'm off to get things done. aunt leslie, uncle jeff, and little pel are heading home today and i also have to get quite a few things done. in christ, autumn |

| Anonymous | AMEN, 12-27-04 12:46pm Dude, Autumn that's incredible. I mean, I have that Coldplay CD, as I'm sure many others do. And I never really thought about how much it can be thought of like that. It's cool that you posted those lyrics because it's so true. Even if the artist didn't intend for the lyrics to be taken in a Godly way, it can definitely be taken like that. Thanks for being so encouraging Autumn. You're an awesome sister in Christ. |
