Ink
Coldplay/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Carved in your name with my poker knife
And you wonder when you wake up, will it be alright oh oh
Feels like there's something broken inside
All I know
All I know
Is that in lost whenever you go
So much that it hurts
Got a tattoo and that paint is alright
Just wanted a way of keeping you inside (oh oh oh oh oh)
All I know
All I know
Is that I'm lost
In your fire bellow
All I know is that I love you so
So much that it hurts
I see the road begin to climb
I see the stars, begin to show
I see your colors and I'm dying of thirst
All I know is that I love you so
So much that it hurts
Oh yeah yeah yeah
So much that it hurts
So much that it hurts
The lyrics to Coldplay's Ink seem to be about a person who has gotten a tattoo with the words "together through life" and their partner's name carved alongside it. The person wonders if everything will be alright between them as they seem to feel like something inside them is broken. The chorus iterates that the only thing the person knows is that they are lost whenever their partner is away and that they love them so much it hurts. The tattoo, for the person, is a way of keeping their loved one's memory close to them at all times.
The second verse mentions the road climbing and the stars beginning to show, perhaps indicating a dark moment in their relationship that is beginning to see the light with their partner's presence. The line "I see your colors and I'm dying of thirst" is a metaphor for how much the person needs their significant other, their love and presence in their life.
Overall, the song is a love ballad that talks about the unmitigated feeling of love and how one often goes to an extent where even that love hurts them. It shows how the idea of committing to another person through ink, carving their name and love onto their flesh, is something that can be a deep and emotional experience for some.
