the scientist
Coldplay(acoustic) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh)
The lyrics of Coldplay's "The Scientist" seem to be about regret and missed opportunities in a romantic relationship. The first verse begins with the singer trying to apologize and express their admiration for the person they are addressing: "Come up to meet you/Tell you I'm sorry/You don't know how lovely you are." The language is almost melancholic, perhaps suggesting a sadness that they were not able to appreciate this person sooner. The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the difficulty of the situation and the desire to go back to the beginning: "Nobody said it was easy/No one ever said it would be this hard/Oh take me back to the start."
The second verse seems to dive deeper into the feelings of the singer. The scientific language may be metaphorical, but suggests that they were once analytical and logical: "I was just guessing at numbers and figures/Pulling your puzzles apart." However, their heart has overtaken them and they realize that emotions sometimes trump rational thinking: "Questions of science, science and progress/Do not speak as loud as my heart." The final lines repeat the chorus and express the desire to return to the beginning of the relationship.
Overall, "The Scientist" seems to be a song about regret and wishing for a second chance in love. The use of scientific language juxtaposed with the emotional subject matter adds to the melancholic mood of the song, and the repeated chorus emphasizes the difficulty of the situation.

Vocalization of emotions
Ah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Vocalization of emotions

Lyrics:
The english and indonesian
Datang menemuimu, beritahu kamu aku minta maaf
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
Kamu tidak tahu betapa cantiknya dirimu
You don't know how lovely you are
Aku harus menemukanmu, memberitahumu aku membutuhkanmu
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Sudah kubilang aku memisahkanmu
Tell you I set you apart
Ceritakan rahasiamu dan ajukan pertanyaanmu
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, ayo kembali ke awal
Oh, let's go back to the start
Berlari berputar-putar, muncul ekor
Running in circles, coming up tails
Beralih ke ilmu pengetahuan secara terpisah
Heads on a science apart
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Sayang sekali kami harus berpisah
It's such a shame for us to part
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Tidak ada yang pernah mengatakan ini akan sesulit ini
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh bawa saya kembali ke awal
Oh, take me back to the start
Saya hanya menebak angka dan angka
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Memisahkan teka-teki itu
Pulling the puzzles apart
Pertanyaan tentang sains, sains, dan kemajuan
Questions of science, science and progress
Jangan bicara sekeras hatiku
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tapi katakan padaku kamu mencintaiku, kembalilah dan hantui aku
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh dan saya bergegas untuk memulai
Oh and I rush to the start
Berlari berputar-putar, mengejar ekor kita
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Kembali seperti semula
Coming back as we are
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, sayang sekali kita harus berpisah
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Tak ada yang bilang itu mudah
Nobody said it was easy
Tidak ada yang pernah mengatakan itu akan sangat sulit
No one ever said it would be so hard
Aku akan kembali ke awal
I'm going back to the start
