Atlas
Coldplay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow

Sometimes the wire
Must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh

We're about to explode

Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world
I'll carry your world

Some far away
Some search for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope
Is just up the road
Show me the way, Lord
'Cause I am about to explode

Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world (Carry your world)
And all your hurt

Carry your world
Carry your world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Atlas" by Coldplay tell a story of carrying someone else's burdens or struggles, even during times of chaos and conflict. The first stanza references different perspectives or experiences of a particular event, possibly a violent one: "Some saw the sun, Some saw the smoke, Some heard the gun, Some bent the bow." This could relate to a war or conflict where some people were able to escape and see the aftermath, while others were in the midst of it.

The second stanza speaks to the idea of carrying another's world, with the lyrics "Carry your world, I'll carry your world." This is a powerful notion, suggesting that one person is willing to take on the weight of someone else's life, struggles, and pain. The line "Caught in the fire, say oh/We're about to explode" could be interpreted as someone feeling overwhelmed or on the brink of a breakdown, but their partner or friend promises to carry them through.

Line by Line Meaning

Some saw the sun
Some people saw the beauty and light in life

Some saw the smoke
Others saw the darkness and negativity

Some heard the gun
Some experienced violence and pain

Some bent the bow
Others were fighting and resisting

Sometimes the wire
In difficult times, tension must build up

Must tense for the note
A person must endure or adjust to the challenge

Caught in the fire, say oh
Trapped in a dangerous and intense situation

We're about to explode
On the verge of reaching a breaking point

Carry your world
I am willing to bear your struggles and challenges

I'll carry your world
I will provide support and strength for you

Some far away
Others are distant and disconnected

Some search for gold
Some people are in pursuit of material wealth

Some dragon to slay
Others are fighting their own personal battles

Heaven we hope
We seek a better and brighter future

Is just up the road
Believing that great things are within reach

Show me the way, Lord
Asking for guidance and direction

'Cause I am about to explode
Feeling overwhelmed and in need of help

And all your hurt
Acknowledging and sharing the pain of others

I remember when Catching Fire came out, and this song played at the beginning for the credits. Usually you see people start to leave the theater, but no one moved! Everyone was listening to the song and watching the credits. It's a beautiful song, and Coldplay did a great job. It was a perfect song to end the movie!

Today I saw the Hunger games again for 3x And I came here to listen Coldplay music. Based on what is happening in the world lately, it even seems like this is the real hunger games, where extremist political influence is just like Snow, along with some fanatics. The world is in need of a Katniss, whether male or female. We are on a dangerous path.
A comment that can be interpreted in 5 ways: dramatic, critical, hyperbole, metaphor and something real.

Like come on how could gale ever.

My son and I read together all the time. While he’s still a bit too young for The Hunger Games, he’s familiar with the soundtrack from me listening to it all the time. We just finished The Hobbit, and that line “Some search for gold; some dragon to slay” has a whole different layer meaning now.

This song is magnificent!!

@NicolasWaldvogel

8y↑657

This is one of their most underrated ones! An absolutely stunning ballad with simple but deep lyrics, great melody, effective use of electronics for creating the mood and an addicting guitar solo at the climax of the song! It is also a musical piece, that can make you feel very different emotions: From sad, nostalgic, dreamy, wishful, empowered to hopeful. Under the surface, it is a very complex song. I just can't get enough of 'Atlas'!

@paulhk2727

3y↑2

@Viewable11 I am aware of that, however I can't link the lyrics 100% to the story. Why Atlas? Why carry your world? I think it references Catching Fire but doesn't really reflect the story. (Fyi I'm a hardcore Hunger Games Fan, maybe I just missed the "true" meaning but after reading "Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" which has songs without definite meanings in it I like to believe the same applies to this song)

@ronnyaraujo9034

@byarchangel

31w↑1

@@paulhk2727i'm late to this discussion, but "Atlas" — the titan condemned to carry the world on his shoulders — is Katniss in the song's narrative. the "world" she carries is the revolution, the ideals of the rebels and the pain of the poor and marginalized layers of the districts. "carrying this world" is a curse like Atlas's, as Katniss never wanted to be a symbol of the revolution — she was drawn into the middle of everything after her sacrifice for Prim. yet she subjects herself to it and is inevitably tied to it.

Ever since I heard this song for the first time, I’ve been thinking that this song is Peeta’s ode to Katniss. Everything that everyone was fighting for -it was just background. All he ever cared about was Katniss. He’d do everything for her. He’d carry the whole world for her, and all her pain. Even when he knew Katniss was faking her feelings towards him. His heaven is Katniss’ happiness and safety.

Also eight years on and I still shed a little tear whenever I’m listening to this.

I can't believe people thought Coldplay didn't deserve to be at the Superbowl Halftime show when they make music like this.

“Show me the Way Lord cause I, I’m about to Explode” ♥️

@jacksayer9658

KarmaChameleon

So if he’s about to explode, and he’s asking for the way, it’s probably the way of self-control. This song starts by talking about how some people used guns, smoke, bows etc. Maybe a war broke out? Link those 2 answers up and it spells out he is in the middle of a conflict or a war and he’s about to go crazy over not being able to control himself, either in or after battle

I've said it in a previous post from something like 4 or 5 years ago, that as amazing as the actual song is, the video/graphics are every bit as important, and together they hold an incredible power, at least to my silly old mind anyway. I will never tire of this, right here... \m/ (:o)

I saw the last release 2 days ago, so I decided to watch the whole saga again, and this will be my 3x 😂
Many people just watch films for the sake of watching them, but they have little knowledge of how to self-criticize the film. Well, the Hunger games is a film that portrays autocracy, where someone in power wants to control everyone. the last real example we saw was from the dictator H!tler.

Do you ever hear a song that just speaks to something in your heart or soul that you can't quite explain but you're dancing inside to it because it's speaking to you in ways you don't understand? Coldplay have many songs which do that for me including this one. I don't even want to have an explanation for it come to think of it. I just want to feel it.

@aryamurali2576
