Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face
Where do we go to draw the line?
I've gotta say
I wasted all your time, honey honey
God put a smile upon your face
Yeah
Now when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah when you work it out I wanted to
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
Ah yeah
Now when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah when you work it out I wanted to
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
It's as good as mine
It's as good as mine
It's as good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
The lyrics to Coldplay's song God Put A Smile Upon Your Face depict a sense of uncertainty and confusion about the direction of one's life. The repeated line "Where do we go nobody knows?" emphasizes the feeling of being lost and without direction. The singer acknowledges their own downward trajectory, but asks for God to provide them with style and grace, and to put a smile on their face. This could be interpreted as a plea for divine guidance and support during difficult times.
The second verse continues with the uncertainty theme, as the singer questions where to draw the line in a situation that has apparently caused harm to someone else's time. They then ask where to go to "fall from grace," possibly indicating a sense of guilt or shame. However, the chorus returns with the refrain that God has given grace and style, and should be appreciated with a smile.
The final verse repeats the idea that finding direction and drawing lines is uncertain and subjective, as "Your guess is as good as mine." The song comes full circle to the opening line, highlighting the theme of not knowing where to go or what to do. Nevertheless, the message remains hopeful, encouraging the listener to appreciate the good things in life that God has given them.

A dónde vamos, nadie lo sabe?
Tengo que decir que estoy en camino, bajando
Dios me dio estilo y me dio gracia
Dios puso una sonrisa en mi cara
¿Dónde vamos a establecer un límite?
Tengo que decir que te hice perder todo tu tiempo, mi amor
¿A dónde voy para perder la gracia?
Dios puso una sonrisa en tu cara, sí
Ahora, cuando lo hagas funcionar, seré peor que tú
Sí, cuando lo hagas funcionar, yo también lo quise
Ahora, cuando definas dónde establecer un límite
Tu suposición es tan buena como la mía
¿A dónde vamos, nadie lo sabe?
Nunca digas que estás en camino, bajando, cuando
Dios te dio estilo y te dio gracia
Y puso una sonrisa en tu cara, sí
Ahora, cuando lo hagas funcionar, seré peor que tú
Sí, cuando lo hagas funcionar, yo también lo quise
Ahora, cuando definas dónde establecer un límite
Tu suposición es tan buena como la mía
Es tan buena como la mía
Es tan buena como la mía
Es tan buena como la mía
Tan buena como la mía
Tan buena como la mía
Tan buena como la mía
Tan buena como la mía
¿A dónde vamos, nadie lo sabe?
Nunca digas que estás en camino, bajando, cuando
Dios te dio estilo y te dio gracia
Y puso una sonrisa en tu cara

Deus Colocou Um Sorriso Em Seu Rosto
Para onde vamos, ninguém sabe
Tive que dizer que quando fico um pouco deprimido
Deus me dá estilo e graça
Deus coloca um sorriso em meu rosto
Onde vamos estabelecer um limite
Tive que dizer que desperdicei todo o seu tempo, querida, querida
Sempre que eu fico melancólico
Deus coloca um sorriso em seu rosto
Agora, quando resolve tudo, eu estou pior que você
Sim, quando você resolve tudo o que eu queria
Agora, quando você resolve onde estabelecer os limites
Seu palpite é tão bom quanto o meu
Para onde vamos, ninguém sabe
Nunca diga que está um pouco deprimida quando
Deus te deu estilo e graça
E colocou um sorriso em seu rosto oh
Agora, quando resolve tudo eu estou pior que você
Sim, quando você resolve tudo o que eu queria
Agora, quando você resolve onde estabelecer os limites
Seu palpite é tão bom quanto o meu
É tão bom quanto o meu
É tão bom quanto o meu
É tão bom quanto o meu
Na nana nana, na nana nana
Tão bom quanto o meu
Tão bom quanto o meu
Tão bom quanto o meu
Tão bom quanto o meu
Para onde vamos, ninguém sabe
Nunca diga que está um pouco deprimida quando
Deus te deu estilo e graça
E colocou um sorriso em seu rosto
@leonelmessi3168
In my opinion one of the best songs of the band, and it is very very underrated
@hamburgerhelper22
.......so in other words, it's quite underrated.........
@MrDaredevil1998
Agreed so is Messi. Extremely underrated
@ivanleonbailaska
It is? I got their first album back when it was released, and these are the only songs i've ever heard of them. This one and green eyes are my favourites. And a rush of blood of course
@guillaumerosse1076
Same for don't panic... I don't dislike the band now but too mainstream IMO
@botondbakos5954
@Daryl Stephen Messi is the second most praised and loved football player in Earth
@cheddarandsourcream
This album was littered with incredible songs. When I tell people I like Coldplay I’m referring to this.
@vinyziks8437
exactly. AROBTH literally has no bad song, all of them are top-tier. Same with X&Y and Vila la Vida IMO
@TheMarcusNyberg
post 2008 though.... not so much.
@cheddarandsourcream
@@TheMarcusNyberg yup, they became too commercial and all there new stuff is literally unlistenable garbage. The second they started leaning more towards being a pop rock band I was done with them.
