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.
And ask me your questions,
Oh let's go back to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Comin' 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 guessin',
At numbers and figures,
Pullin' 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, what a rush to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' our 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.
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh,
Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh,
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh,
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh.
The song "The Scientist" by Coldplay is a somber ballad about a relationship that fell apart, and the individual's struggle to move on. The opening lines of the song reveal a sense of remorse and regret, as the singer tries to rekindle his relationship with his partner. He acknowledges the beauty of his partner and how much he needs her, and that he set her apart from everyone else.
The lyrics suggest that the couple is at a lost point in their relationship, as revealed by the line "Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard." They are running in circles with no real resolution to their problems, which is shown by the line "Running in circles, coming up tails, heads on a science apart." The singer is asking his partner to take him back to the beginning, where things were simpler, and he hadn't ruined things.
The song deals with the universal theme of love and loss. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they can be interpreted as a cry for help to save failing relationships. Overall, "The Scientist" is a heartfelt song, showcasing Coldplay's abilities to evoke raw emotions through music.

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
