Life in Technicolor
Coldplay Lyrics
There's a wild wind blowing,
Down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowing
there's a cold war coming,
On the radio I heard
Baby it's a violent world
Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
I could hear the sirens sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Time came a-creepin'
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes o-o-on
Time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night
Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Gravity release me,
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground.

Life in Technicolor ii - Lyrics
There's a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowing
There's a cold war coming
On the radio I heard
Baby it's a violent world
Oh oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I can hear it coming
I can hear the siren sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Time came a-creeping
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on
Time'll leak and lead you on
Still it's such beautiful night
Oh oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I can hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Gravity release me
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Obs: Please stream Coldplay's last album #EverydayLife, they didnt divulge it enough, it's amazing and deserve so much more
Nothing
There's a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street
Every night there, the headlights are glowing
There's a cold war coming
On the radio I heard
Baby, it's a violent world
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow
I can hear it coming
I can hear the silent sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Time came a creeping
Oh and time's a loaded gun
(Every road is a ray of light)
It goes on
Time only can lead you on, still it's
Such a beautiful night
Oh, love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow
I can hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Ooouuh ooouuuh
Gravity, release me
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground

( ENGLISH )
There's a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowing
As a cold war coming on the radio I heard
Baby, it's a violent world!
Oh, love, don't let me go!
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?
I can hear it coming
I can hear the siren sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Time came a-creeping
Oh, and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on
Time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night
Oh, love, don't let me go!
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow?
I can hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Gravity, release me
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground
( PORTUGUÊS )
Há um vento selvagem soprando
Pelas esquinas da minha rua
Todas as noites lá, os faróis estão brilhando
Como uma guerra fria chegando que escutei no rádio
Querida, que mundo violento!
Oh, amor, não me deixe ir!
Quer me levar aonde as luzes da rua brilham?
Posso ouvi-la chegando
Posso ouvir o som da sirene
Agora os meus pés não tocarão o chão
O tempo chegou de mansinho
Oh, e o tempo é uma arma carregada
Cada estrada é um raio de luz
Ela se prolooongaaa...
Apenas o tempo pode enganá-lo
Ainda assim, a noite está tão linda
Oh, amor, não me deixe ir!
Quer me levar aonde as luzes da rua brilham?
Posso ouvi-la chegando
Como uma serenata de sons
Agora os meus pés não tocarão o chão
Gravidade, me liberte
E jamais me mantenha no chão
Agora os meus pés não tocarão o chão
( ESPAÑOL )
Hay un viento salvaje soplando
Por la esquina de mi calle
Cada noche las luces están brillando
Como una guerra fría que viene en la radio oí
bebé, es un mundo violento!
¡Oh, el amor, no me dejes ir!
¿Es que no me lleve donde el resplandor farolas?
Puedo oír la lluvia que viene
Puedo oír el sonido de la sirena
Ahora mis pies no tocan el suelo.
El tiempo vino a-arrastra
oh, y el tiempo es un arma cargada
cada camino es un rayo de luz
Va oooooonnnn ...
sólo el tiempo puede dar lugar a
todavía es una noche tan hermosa
¡Oh, el amor, no me dejes ir!
¿Es que no me lleve donde el resplandor alumbrado público?
Puedo oír la lluvia que viene
Al igual que una serenata del sonido
Ahora mis pies no tocan el suelo.
La gravedad, me libere
y nunca me mantenga presionada la tecla,
Ahora mis pies no tocan el suelo.
El mudo habla
I cry every time I listen to this song, they used to play this on cartoon network when I was a kid and back then I was just engaged by the visuals and audio but now I'm 20 just months away of graduating college and I just remember me back at my homeland sitting on my bed with a really different life, with my mom getting me chocolate milk on some old plastic macdonalds cups we had, when nothing really mattered much, and the lyrics talking about the passing of time just break me, thank you for giving me a song for my whole life.
Jonathan Guerrero
