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.

Hypnotised
Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running to a faint
Need a brand new coat of paint
I found myself in trouble
Thinking 'bout what ain't
Never gonna be a saint
Saying float like an eagle
Fall like the rain
Oh again, and again
Now I'm hyp, hypnotised
Yeah I trip, when I look in your eyes
Oh I'm hyp, hypnotised
Yeah I slip and I'm mesmerized
It's easy to be lethal
Learning from the news
It's a guidebook for the blues
Saying it's the very same steeple
People wanna chose
They just see it from different views
And threading the needle
Fixing my flame
Oh, oh now I'm moved to exclaim
Oh again, and again
How I'm hyp, hypnotised
Yeah I trip, when I look in your eyes
Oh I'm hyp, hypnotized
Yeah I lift, and I'm mesmerized
Whoa oh-oh oh
Whoa oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh again, and again
And I'm hyp, hypnotised
Yeah I lift to a permanent high
Oh I'm hyp, hypnotised
It was dark
Now it's sunrise
The lyrics of Coldplay's song Hypnotised convey a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. The opening lines, "Been rusting in rubble, Running to a faint, Need a brand new coat of paint," communicate a sense of weariness and fatigue from the singer's past experiences. They desire a fresh start and a chance to be renewed. However, the singer realizes they are in trouble for constantly thinking about what could have been and face the realization that they will never be a saint.
The singer then shifts to discussing their perception of the world and how it's easy to be lethal and learn from the disheartening news. They mention how individuals view the world from different perspectives, which could create divides and conflicts. The singer then introduces the metaphor "threading the needle" to symbolize fixing their flame and moving towards a path of healing. They are acknowledging that they need to put out the pain that they have been feeling for a long time.
The chorus of the song, "Now I'm hyp, hypnotised, Yeah, I trip when I look in your eyes, Oh, I'm hyp, hypnotised, Yeah, I slip, and I'm mesmerized," expresses how the singer feels when they are around the person they love. This love interest brings them an immense sense of comfort and clarity that makes them feel hypnotized and mesmerized.
The song concludes with the singer declaring that they've been lifted to a permanent high and witnessing the sunrise. The sunrise acts as a metaphor for a new beginning and emphasizes how their relationship with their love interest has revealed new perspectives and possibilities.
