A Rush of Blood to the Head
Coldplay/Musicfire.in Lyrics

He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
He expressed his intention to buy and destroy the building

I'm gonna put it six feet underground
He plans to completely demolish the building to the ground

He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
He intends to witness the building's eventual downfall after purchasing it

Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls
He invites his loved one to stand by his side amidst the ruins of the destroyed building

Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
He desires to start a destructive blaze after acquiring the building

Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
He promises to satisfy his partner's deepest wishes while standing amidst the destruction he caused

Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
He desires the satisfaction of witnessing the building's fiery destruction after purchase

Do back the things it did to you in return
He wants to revenge against whatever the building has done to wrong his partner

He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
He talks about the violent steps he's willing to take to achieve his goals

If you can tell me something worth fighting for
He's asking for a justifiable reason to engage in violent conflict

Oh and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
He repeats his plan to acquire the building

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
He rationalizes his extreme actions as a momentary rush of emotions

And honey all the movements you're starting to make
He observes his partner's actions and reactions to the surrounding destruction

See me crumble and fall on my face
He acknowledges the negative consequences of his own actions and their impact on himself

And I know the mistakes that I made
He's aware of the errors and faults he's committed

See it all disappear without a trace
He's reflecting on the impermanence and fleeting nature of destruction

And they call as they beckon you on
He hears voices that urge him to continue down his destructive path

They said start as you mean to go on
Those voices encourage him to stay true to his initial intentions

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane
He proposes a rendezvous with his partner in specific locations

When am I gonna see that pretty face again
He expresses longing for his partner's physical presence

Blame it all upon
He assigns responsibility for his actions to

A rush of blood to the head
The temporary, intense rush of emotions that led him to make destructive choices
