the scientist
"Coldplay" Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a 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 your 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 and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming 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 going back to the start
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh)
"Coldplay"'s song "The Scientist" is a heartfelt song that captures the pain, regret, and longing after a mistake has been made which results in a relationship ending. The singer in the song wants to make amends with their beloved, wanting to come up to meet them to express their sorrow and how they truly feel about them. At the same time, they also acknowledge the beauty their lover possesses and how they are unlike anyone else, set apart from the rest. The lyrics "Tell me your secrets And ask me your questions, Oh let's go back to the start" is a yearning to go back to when things were good and effortless before any wrong turns were made. The use of the phrases "running in circles, coming up tails, heads on a science apart" convey the idea of two people who are not compatible but are still trying.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the difficulty of the situation and how no one ever said love was easy. They are left with a deep longing to start over, hoping that they can rekindle their love once again. The lines "I was just guessing at numbers and figures, pulling your puzzles apart. Questions of science, science and progress do not speak as loud as my heart" convey how sometimes, logic and reasoning can be replaced by emotions when it comes to love. The singer is ready to put their heart and soul back into the relationship by asking their partner to come back and haunt them so that they can return to the start and try again.

Lyrics:
The english and indonesian
Datang menemuimu, beritahu kamu aku minta maaf
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
Kamu tidak tahu betapa cantiknya dirimu
You don't know how lovely you are
Aku harus menemukanmu, memberitahumu aku membutuhkanmu
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Sudah kubilang aku memisahkanmu
Tell you I set you apart
Ceritakan rahasiamu dan ajukan pertanyaanmu
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, ayo kembali ke awal
Oh, let's go back to the start
Berlari berputar-putar, muncul ekor
Running in circles, coming up tails
Beralih ke ilmu pengetahuan secara terpisah
Heads on a science apart
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Sayang sekali kami harus berpisah
It's such a shame for us to part
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Tidak ada yang pernah mengatakan ini akan sesulit ini
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh bawa saya kembali ke awal
Oh, take me back to the start
Saya hanya menebak angka dan angka
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Memisahkan teka-teki itu
Pulling the puzzles apart
Pertanyaan tentang sains, sains, dan kemajuan
Questions of science, science and progress
Jangan bicara sekeras hatiku
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tapi katakan padaku kamu mencintaiku, kembalilah dan hantui aku
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh dan saya bergegas untuk memulai
Oh and I rush to the start
Berlari berputar-putar, mengejar ekor kita
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Kembali seperti semula
Coming back as we are
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, sayang sekali kita harus berpisah
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Tidak ada yang pernah mengatakan itu akan sangat sulit
No one ever said it would be so hard
Aku akan kembali ke awal
I'm going back to the start
