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
João Pedro Rodrigues
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
Gravity, release me
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground

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.

I remember this as well, I was just as captivated as the children in this video. One day when I was working I remembered that night and had to find this song

I can relate. 13 years ago I asked my GF at the time to play this song at my funeral. I decided that I wasn’t going to stay in the world.
I got through the tough times, and in 3 weeks time I’m going to play the song as my entrance song at my wedding (new partner). ❤

Surely the most underrated song of them, this should be known like any others, deserves much much more
