All Your Friends
Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're told which side you're on
You're forced, you're thrown
To become side as to cut the corn
Aah
And all your friends they
Ride into the sunset
And away they blow
And all your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset
And away they're thrown
Into the fire
Ten below
The call come on the radio
Ahh
Over you go
And the red now all the rivers flow
The poppies grow
All your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset
And away they're blown
All your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Arrive into the sunset
And they're taken home
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
And fire
Just arrived, the fire
The song "All Your Friends" by Coldplay talks about the pressure imposed by the society on individuals to take a side and follow the herd. The lyrics suggest that people are often forced to choose a side just like cutting the corn. The first stanza shows that decisions are made for us, and we are expected to follow just like sheep following the herd. The second verse, "Ten below, the call comes on the radio" suggests an emergence of danger or urgency. The third verse talks about a battle or conflict, using phrases like open fire and the red now all the rivers flow.
The chorus talks about how all of our friends are riding into the sunset, which is a metaphor for their life or journey, but it is only temporary, and soon they will be thrown into the fire. The fire could be taken to mean a dangerous situation or a chaotic event where our friends may be put in danger. The line 'and away they're thrown into the fire' may also suggest that they are being sacrificed or led into danger.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on how society often dictates our choices and how our journey can be undermined by various external factors. The song urges listeners to be cautious and not get swayed by the majority but to make their own decisions and find their own path.
Line by Line Meaning
On and on
The cycle never ends
You're told which side you're on
You are often forced to choose a side
You're forced, you're thrown
You are forced into situations beyond your control
To become side as to cut the corn
To blend in and conform
And all your friends they
Even the people you know
Ride into the sunset
Leave or escape from their problems
Fly into the sunset
Travel long distances to find a solution
And away they blow
Disappear and leave everything behind
And away they're thrown
Leave without warning or reason
Into the fire
Into danger and trouble
Ten below
Extremely cold temperature
The call come on the radio
Urgent news comes over the airwaves
Over you go
Your situation becomes worse
And the red now all the rivers flow
Blood is shed and lives are lost
The poppies grow
The aftermath of a tragic event
Arrive into the sunset
Return home safely
And they're taken home
They are reunited with loved ones
Open fire
Start shooting
Just arrived, the fire
The conflict has just begun

On and on
You're told which side you're on
You're forced you're thrown
To become the scythe to cut the corn
And all your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset
And away they go
All your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset
And away they're thrown
Into the fire
Ten below
Call comes in on the radio
Over you go
And red now, all the rivers flow
The poppies grow
All your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset
And away they go
All your friends they
Ride into the sunset
Ride into the sunset
And they're taken home
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Just ride and fire

Ahh
You're forced you're thrown
To become the scythe to cut the corn

And all your friends they ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset and away they go
All your friends they ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset and away they're thrown
Into the fire

And the red now all the rivers flow, the poppies grow
Ahh
All your friends they ride into the sunset
Fly into the sunset and away they blow
And all your friends they ride into the sunset
Ride into the sunset and they're taken home
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Open fire
Just to ride and fire

From a Turkish soldier at Gallipoli, to a Russian on the Polish frontier. From a British soldier sitting in a trench at The Somme, to a German sleeping in a damp dugout. From a Frenchman fighting at Verdun, to an Italian climbing the Alps. From a Serbian boy fighting at Cer, to a Czech pilot soaring through the skies. From an American at Amiens, to an Aussie in Iraq. May all who died in the bloody conflict known as WWI always be remembered and never forgotten.

The real heroes are not the generals in thier armchairs but the determination of the unknown soldier, the ones that never came back home
