Flags
Coldplay Lyrics

Talk among the skeletons this morning
Engaging in deep conversations about life and mortality

Aside from all the medicine and health
Looking beyond physical well-being and exploring deeper truths

If you could do it all again, would you do it all the same?
Reflecting on past choices and questioning their impact on life

Is there something that you'd tell your former self?
Desiring to share wisdom and guidance with one's younger self

There were those that wished they'd spun upon a jukebox
Expressing regrets of missed opportunities and desired experiences

There were pirates who had never seen the sea
Adventurous souls longing for new experiences and uncharted territories

But the one recurring theme, the one recurring dream they had
The common thread among them was the aspiration to fulfill their dreams

Was to be whatever they wanted to be
Having the freedom and courage to pursue their true desires

To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky
To embody the creativity and brilliance of a renowned composer

To be free like everyone else
Yearning for the liberty and authenticity that others possess

There will be no flags to warn me, no
Not relying on external symbols or warnings to find one's path

'Cause I just wanna be myself
Simply desiring to embrace one's true identity

You may telephone in by a ouija
Seeking guidance or communication from the spiritual realm

Is there any advice that you could give?
Inquiring about valuable insights or words of wisdom

When you know you're not like them, do you know La Varsovienne?
When feeling different from others, do you have a unique way of expressing yourself?

I know that I am living, but can you show me how to live?
Acknowledging existence but seeking guidance on truly experiencing life

And the Holy Roman Army
Referencing a historical military force known for its discipline and strength

Said your heart beats like everyone else
Assuring that despite external differences, the emotions and humanity within are universal

And you don't need no flags to tell you who you are, so say
Asserting that identity goes beyond societal labels or markers

I just wanna be myself
Expressing the desire to authentically embrace one's true self

There's an aura that surrounds me
Feeling a distinctive and captivating energy or presence

There's a different kind of wealth
Recognizing the value of inner richness and personal fulfillment

And I don't need flags to know you're really something
Realizing the uniqueness and worth of someone without external validation

And I just love you for yourself
Expressing unconditional love and acceptance for who someone truly is
