After independently releasing an extended play, Safety (1998), Coldplay signed with Parlophone in 1999. The band's debut album, Parachutes (2000), included their breakthrough single "Yellow" and received a Brit Award for British Album of the Year, a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and a Mercury Prize nomination. Their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), won the same accolades and included "Clocks", which earned a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. In 2005, they released X&Y; the album was marked by a troubled production and various delays, completing what the band considered a trilogy as well. Coldplay's fourth effort, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), received a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and their first Album of the Year nomination, while its title track was the first British group song to reach number-one in the United Kingdom and United States simultaneously in the 21st century. Both X&Y and Viva la Vida were the best-selling albums of their respective years, topping the charts in more than 30 countries each.
Since then, Coldplay further diversified their sound with the subsequent releases Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019) and Music of the Spheres (2021). Each album presented a unique theme and added new musical styles to the band's original repertoire, including electronica, ambient, pop, R&B, funk, classical, jazz fusion, and progressive rock. They are also known for "euphoric" live performances, which NME said are when the band "come alive and make the most sense". To celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2018, a career-spanning documentary directed by Mat Whitecross was premiered at selected cinemas, featuring previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage.
With 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay are the most successful band of the 21st century and one of the best-selling music acts of all time. According to Fuse, they are also the sixth-most awarded group in history. Other notable achievements include the seventh-highest-grossing tour of all time, three of the 50 highest-selling albums ever in the United Kingdom, the most number-one records in the country without ever missing the top, most nominations and wins for a band in Brit Awards history, and becoming the first British group to debut at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. Coldplay are considered one of the most influential bands of the 21st century as well, with Forbes describing them as the standard for the current alternative scene. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included A Rush of Blood to the Head on their "200 Definitive Albums" list and the single "Yellow" is part of their "Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" exhibition for being one of the most successful and important recordings in the industry. In spite of their popularity and impact, Coldplay have earned a reputation as polarizing music icons.

Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand
That green eyes
Yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could anybody deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know
That green eyes
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Since I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Green eyes
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Honey you are the rock
Upon which I stand
The song "Green eyes" by Coldplay talks about the intense love and affection between two people, with the girl being the rock upon which the singer stands. The opening lines of the song suggest that the woman is a strong personality, who can offer support and sustenance to the singer. He implies that he is indebted to her and has come to talk to her. The chorus of the song emphasizes the mesmerizing quality of her green eyes, under the spotlight, which is impossible to resist. To the singer, she is the most beautiful and captivating person in the world, and he can't imagine anyone denying her charm.
The second verse of the song picks up on the same theme with the singer praising the woman by saying she is like the sea, which allows him to float. He implies that she helps him stay afloat and even declares, "You're the one that I wanted to find." The admiration in his voice is clear here, as he suggests that anyone denying this charm that he feels must be out of their mind. The chorus repeats again, with the green eyes of the lady being the focus.
The bridge of the song is short but poignant as the singer declares his love and dependence on the lady, saying that since he met her, his life has taken a turn for the better. The woman gives him the strength to face life while offering succor and love. The song ends with the chorus reiterating that the green eyes of the lady have taken hold of the singer's entire being, and he can never go on without her.
