Trouble
Coldplay/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no I see
A spider web it's tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I said
Oh no what's this
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done

And I never meant to cause you trouble
And and I never meant to do you wrong
And ah well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no I never meant to do you harm

Oh no I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble

Singing out
I never meant to cause you trouble
And I never meant to do you wrong
And ah well if I ever caused you trouble
And oh no I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me




They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Overall Meaning

The song "Trouble" by Coldplay is a reflection on the idea of being caught up in a web of one's own making. The spider web symbolizes the many mistakes and regrets the singer has accumulated over time. He realizes that he has caused a lot of trouble in his relationships without intending to, and now he finds himself tangled up in the consequences of his actions.


In the first verse, the singer notices the spider web and how it has become tangled up with him. He admits to losing his head and thinking about all the stupid things he's said in the past. He's caught in the middle of the spider web and tries to run away, but he can't escape the thought of his mistakes.


In the chorus, he apologizes to the person he has hurt, saying that he never meant to cause trouble or do them any wrong. He's aware of the harm he's caused and wants to make it right.


In the second verse, the singer realizes that he is the one caught in the spider web. He's trapped in his own little bubble of regret and wishes he could turn back time. He repeats the chorus, acknowledging his mistakes and apologizing for any harm he's caused.


Coldplay's "Trouble" is a moving and honest reflection on the challenges of making mistakes and repairing broken relationships. It speaks to the human experience of regret and the desire to make things right.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh no I see
Starting to realize there's an issue


A spider web it's tangled up with me
Metaphorically trapped in a problem


And I lost my head
Overwhelmed by the situation


And thought of all the stupid things I said
Regretting past mistakes


Oh no what's this
Coming to another realization that things are getting worse


A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
Emphasizing the feeling of being tangled


So I turned to run
The instinctual response to escape


The thought of all the stupid things I've done
Continuing to regret past mistakes


And I never meant to cause you trouble
Acknowledging that no harm was intended


And and I never meant to do you wrong
Expressing remorse for past wrongdoings


And ah well if I ever caused you trouble
Accepting responsibility if any harm was caused


Oh no I never meant to do you harm
Restating the lack of intention to harm


Oh no I see
Returning to the beginning of the cycle


A spider web and it's me in the middle
Continuing to feel trapped in the problem


So I twist and turn
Trying to escape but being unsuccessful


Here am I in my little bubble
Stuck in a mindset of limited options or perspective


Singing out
Using music as an outlet to express emotions


They spun a web for me
Acknowledging that others may have contributed to the problem


They spun a web for me
Reinforcing the idea that the problem was not solely caused by oneself


They spun a web for me
Closing the song with a repeated phrase highlighting the feeling of being trapped

I first heard this song when i was at a very dark and low point in my life. My parents were on the verge of a divorce and were both leaning on me for emotional support, i had become disillusioned with my university studies (and life in general), and I had lost the first love of my life. I felt lost and in a lot of pain, which later led to a depression.

Many people criticized me for listening to this and other Coldplay songs claiming that they were only "furthering my sadness". But this was far from it - Coldplay spoke the pains that i had in my heart that i couldn't find the words to express- they allowed me to voice my vulnerability, my angst, my anxiety, my pain and sadness and get them off my chest and just be...

Coldplay helped show me that i could share the sadness with others so that they would understand and it didn't have to be messy or pitiful, but could be deep, haunting and profound...and maybe, in that way, also encourage others to share the sadness in their hearts, be honest with themselves, get it off their chests and be unshackled.

I started writing poetry and being precise about my feelings through my words.

Coldplay helped me save myself.

Drowning in despair isn't always what kills us - it's being unable to find the words and to share what we're going through and ask for help from those around us.
The inability to say, "Please help me... I'm drowning and I don't know what to do...", is what really kills us.

Once upon a time, in the labyrinth of my own existence, I wandered through the shadows of despair, lost and adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Each day felt like a battle against the encroaching darkness, a relentless storm threatening to consume me whole. It was in those bleak moments that a single song emerged as my lifeline, my savior amidst the chaos: Coldplay's "Trouble."

The haunting melody of "Trouble" became the soundtrack to my struggles, its poignant lyrics a mirror to the depths of my despair. With each note, it seemed to reach into the depths of my soul, resonating with the pain and turmoil that threatened to engulf me. Yet, amidst the melancholy, there was a glimmer of hope, a promise of redemption buried within the melody.

Through tear-stained nights and heart-wrenching days, I clung to the song like a drowning soul grasping for a lifeline. Its soothing embrace offered solace in moments of despair, reminding me that even in the darkest of times, there was a flicker of light waiting to be found.

Fueled by the courage instilled by the song, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing. With each step forward, I shed the shackles of my past, embracing the beauty of life with newfound vigor. Surrounded by the love and support of those who believed in me, I began to rebuild what was once shattered, stitching together the fragments of my broken spirit.

As the years passed, the echoes of "Trouble" remained ever-present, a constant reminder of the battles I had fought and the victories I had won. Today, as I stand on the precipice of success, bathed in the warm glow of accomplishment, I am reminded of the transformative power of resilience and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

So, to Coldplay's "Trouble," I owe more than words can express. You were more than just a song; you were my salvation, my guiding light through the darkest of nights. And as I bask in the radiance of a life well-lived, I carry your melody in my heart, a testament to the triumph of the human soul over adversity.

Oh no, I see
A spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I'd said
Oh no, what's this?
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
And I, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm
Oh no, I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble
Singing out, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble
Oh, no, I never meant to do you harm
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Letra
Oh no, I see
A spider web it's tangled up with me
And I lost my head
The thought of all the stupid things I said

Oh no, what's this?
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done

I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
Well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm

Oh no, I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble

Singing out:
I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
Well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Trouble é uma música linda e misteriosa. As letras estão saturadas de sentimentos de culpa e remorso. Linhas como "E eu, eu nunca quis te causar problemas" e "Sinto muito pela tempestade dentro de mim" expressam profundo arrependimento por ações que causaram dor a outra pessoa. A repetição da palavra "problemas" torna-se um símbolo poderoso para o peso dessas emoções.

A música retrata um sentimento de isolamento e vulnerabilidade. O eu lírico se sente preso em uma teia de sua própria criação, incapaz de escapar das consequências de suas ações. Linhas como "Oh, não, o que é isso? Uma teia de aranha e eu estou no meio" e "Eles teceram uma teia para mim" ilustram esse sentimento de estar enredado e impotente.

Apesar da culpa e do isolamento, há um anseio subjacente por conexão. Os pedidos repetidos de "Não me deixe ir" e "Não me deixe aqui sozinho" revelam um desejo desesperado de consertar o relacionamento rompido e preencher a distância que se formou.

A música deixa muito aberto a interpretação. A natureza específica dos "problemas" e a relação exata entre os personagens permanecem ambíguas, permitindo que os ouvintes preencham as lacunas com base em suas próprias experiências. Essa ambiguidade contribui para o apelo universal da música e sua ressonância emocional.

Embora a música comece em um clima misterioso, há um toque de transformação no final. Linhas como "Eu irei me levantar quando eles caírem" e "Eu serei mais forte sozinho" sugerem um potencial para seguir em frente e superar o peso da culpa.

A arranjo musical minimalista, com seu piano proeminente e vocais ecoantes, complementa o tom introspectivo e vulnerável das letras.

O videoclipe explora ainda mais os temas de isolamento e autoconfrontação, mostrando o eu lírico se apresentando sozinho em um espaço vasto e vazio.

A popularidade da música pode advir de sua representação relacionável de emoções humanas como culpa, arrependimento e o desejo de conexão.

"Trouble" é uma música que nos convida a mergulhar em nossas emoções e contemplar as complexidades dos relacionamentos amorosos.

Espero que esta análise ajude a forneçer e aprofundar uma compreensão para esta bela canção.

October 13th 2009, this song got me out of a very, very dark time of my life, I was about to decide to end everything and that’s that, but had a Parachutes CD in the car playing this soundtrack, when it came to “they spun a web for me”; I put the pills and the whisky down, then, decided to rebuild my life, onwards upwards and outwards. 12 years later I’m an entrepreneur, married with kids, loving life, being free in my mind. I thank Coldplay for saving me. I thank Guy, Jonny, Will and Chris for writing and sharing this masterpiece to the world.

@youraveragepasser-by7367
