Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before my head explodes
Or my head starts to ring
We've been living life
Inside a bubble
We've been living life
Inside a bubble
Confidence in you
Is confidence in me
Is confidence in high speed
Can anybody stop this thing
Before my head explodes
Or my head starts to ring
We've been living life
Inside a bubble
We've been living life
Inside a bubble
Confidence in you
Is confidence in me
Is confidence in high speed
High speed
High speed
High speed you on
High speed you on
High speed you on
High speed you on
The lyrics to Coldplay's "High Speed" may seem cryptic on the surface, but upon deeper examination, the meaning becomes clearer. The song begins with the singer feeling overwhelmed and on the brink of exploding, asking if anyone can take control of the situation before it's too late. The use of the metaphor of flying a plane adds to this sense of urgency and danger. The chorus repeats the phrase "we've been living life inside a bubble," suggesting a certain level of disconnection or isolation from reality. This bubble could be seen as a metaphor for a comfortable yet stagnant way of living, perhaps in a state of numbness or complacency.
However, the lines "confidence in you is confidence in me" and "confidence in high speed" suggest that the singer trusts someone else to take charge and propel them forward. This could be interpreted as a call to action or a desire for change, indicating that the singer wants to break free from their current situation and speed ahead into something new and exciting.
Line by Line Meaning
Can anybody fly this thing
Is there anyone who can control this situation?
Before my head explodes
Before I lose control or become overwhelmed
Or my head starts to ring
Or before I become overwhelmed with stress
We've been living life
We have been existing without much change or excitement in our lives
Inside a bubble
We have been comfortable, but stagnant in our current situation
Confidence in you
I trust you and your abilities
Is confidence in me
I have confidence in myself because I have confidence in you
Is confidence in high speed
Our trust in each other is what propels us forward at a high rate
Can anybody stop this thing
Is there any way to slow down or halt this situation?
High speed
Moving quickly and with purpose
High speed you on
We are moving forward at a high rate, and we should continue
