Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
Coldplay-- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag
Oh
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
The song "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" by Coldplay (Boyce Avenue acoustic cover) is an anthem of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey the message of turning to music as a form of escape, an activity that brings people together despite their differences. The singer of the song gets lost in the beats of their favorite song and the world outside doesn't matter anymore.
The second half of the song talks about how music can be a way to protest against social injustices. The lyrics convey the message of hoping that there will not be another generation of people who suffer from the same issues, rather than being a full stop. The singer is aware that life can be challenging but the music keeps their spirit alive. The song concludes with the idea that every tear that falls can be transformed into a waterfall, a life-giving river, and that a new dawn is always possible.

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I increase the volume of my music, and play my vinyl records
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
I block the outside world until it becomes dark outside
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
The streets may be illuminated, but the trees may have vanished
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
My heart begins to beat in time with the music I love
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
All the children dance through the entire night
Until Monday morning feels another life
When Monday arrives, it feels almost like a different existence
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Amidst the destruction, a song of rebellion can be heard
Don't want to see another generation drop
I do not want to witness another generation die out
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
I prefer to keep going, rather than coming to a complete halt
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Perhaps I'm in financial debt, or maybe I'm feeling low
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
I might be in a precarious, suspended position, uncertain of what comes next
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Despite my uncertainty, my heart is still beating and I feel alive
Cathedrals in my heart
My heart is filled with cathedrals, majestic in their grandeur
As we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into
We witness this light, and you emerge from it blinking
To tell me it's alright
You assure me that everything is okay
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
When we overcome obstacles, even warning signals become beautiful music
And every tear's a waterfall
Each tear that falls from our eyes feels like a waterfall
Is a waterfall
It's like a waterfall
Oh
Expressing emotion and surprise
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
Others may cause me pain and distress
But still I'll raise the flag
Nevertheless, I will continue to fight and hold my ground
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
A waterfall, represented by the sound of the word 'wa'
Every tear
Each time I cry
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Each tear seems like a cascade of water

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart stop beating to my favorite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw oh this light I swear you'll,
Emerge blinking into to tell me it's alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Ah
Is a waterfall
Ah ah ah
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Ah ah ah
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-terfall
A wa wa wa wa wa-terfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

And This is Coldplay,the biggest band of current world.
This is the band who writes their own music.
This is the band which produces beautiful deep lyrics and amazing melodies.
This is the band that doesn't fear trying out new patterns of music in every album.
And,Though they are so much famous and popular worldwide, all Band members are absolutely down to earth persons.
They teach you 'Love' and everything good in this world.. :)
Also, they are one of the very few bands without half naked girls on their video and still have so much popularity... Coldplay, "oh,You make me feel Alive again! Alive Again!!"
Who can hate them??!
Humanity needs more music from Coldplay.. :)

"I'd rather be a comma than a full stop"
Maybe I'm in the black
Maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap
Between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating
And my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
There are only a handful of singer songwriters that can inject their songs into the story of your life. They bring the color, the mood, the imagination of things you may never have. They play the background for the past and future memories of our life! They find the perfect words when you can't. This song fills my heart. Only Love for the brilliant singer song writers of the world. ❤️🔥🙂
