Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

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

Conocí a Coldplay hace 20 años porque escuche por primera vez "Trouble" una tarde lluviosa camino a casa y desde ese momento sentí algo muy especial y una conexión simplemente inexplicable...
En ese tiempo que no existía Spotify ni nada por el estilo 😄 solíamos llevar nuestros discos favoritos y el chico de la cafeteria de la prepa los ponía como tipo rockola, cuando un día de pronto volvi a escuchar la misma canción...
Fue entonces que me acerque con el chico de la cafe y le pregunte que grupo era y de quien era ese disco, y me respondió es Coldplay me enseñó el disco de "Parachutes" 😍 y me dijo de quien era... Acto seguido me dirigí hacia la mesa donde estaba sentado el propietario del CD y le dije que mucho gusto que si de favor podría prestarme su disco para grabarlo en cassette... 😅 El muy amablemente me dijo que si y desde ese momento se convirtió en uno de mis mejores amigos de la prepa... 😃 Recuerdo que hablábamos por horas y pasamos tiempo y aventuras muy lindas al lado de buenos amigos en ese tiempo!
Hasta que meses después un día como hoy saliendo de un Halloween en el que íbamos todos, desafortunadamente murió en un accidente. 😢
Fue algo muy impactante y doloroso para mí porque fui la última amiga de la que se despidió antes de irse, lo recuerdo perfectamente como si hubiera sido ayer y eso que yo tenía solo 16 años...
Hoy después de tanto tiempo te sigo recordando y curiosamente hubo un concierto de Coldplay en vivo desde Argentina en el cine y fui en honor a ti. 😀
Quiero que sepas que aunque fue poco el tiempo compartido, fuiste muy especial en mi vida y te agradezco desde el fondo de mi corazón el haberme presentado a Coldplay, porque vaya que se convirtió en mi grupo favorito a través de todos estos años y muchos de sus canciones han marcado realmente mi historia y le han dado sentido, aún desde antes de que el mundo los conociera yo los conocí por ti y es algo que nunca olvidaré.
Esta historia nunca la había contado... Pero es un homenaje para ti a 20 años de tu partida y espero de corazón que estés con Dios descansando en eterna paz.

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.

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

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.
