Daddy
Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daddy, won't you come and play?
Daddy, do you not care?
Is there nothing that you want to say
I know
You're hurting too
Daddy if you're out there
Daddy all I want to say
You're so far away
You're so far away
That's OK
That's OK
OK
Daddy, are you out there?
Daddy, why'd you run away?
Daddy, are you OK?
Look dad we got the same hair
And Daddy it's my birthday
But all I want to say
Is you're so far away
Oh, you're so far away
That's OK
That's OK
That's OK
You're so far away
Won't you come and won't you stay?
Please stay
Please stay
Won't you come and won't you stay?
One day
Just one day
The song Daddy by Coldplay is a heart-wrenching tribute from Chris Martin to his father who passed away a few years ago. The lyrics express Martin's longing to connect with his father, who wasn't always there for him while growing up. Martin is searching for answers and wondering why his father left and why he won't come back. The lyrics "Daddy, won't you come and play?" and "Daddy, why'd you run away?" showcase the singer's longing for connection and his inability to understand what went wrong in their relationship. Martin reveals that, although he understands that his father was hurting too, he still needs him in his life.
The song also expresses the common feeling of abandonment that is felt by many children with absentee fathers. Chris Martin understands that his father was hurting too, but that did not stop him from feeling angry and alone. The lines "Daddy, do you not care? Is there nothing that you want to say?" highlight Martin's confusion and pain about his father's absence. Martin's vulnerability is further emphasized in the chorus, where he sings, "You're so far away, won't you come and won't you stay? Please stay, won't you come and won't you stay? One day, just one day." He's holding onto the hope that someday, his father will come back to him.
