I See You Soon
Coldplay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you lost your trust
And you never should have
And you never should have
But don't break your back
If you ever see this
But don't answer that

In a bulletproof vest
With the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon
In a telescope lens
And when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon

So they came for you
They came snapping at your heels
They come snapping at your heels
But don't break your back
If you ever hear this
But don't answer that

In a bulletproof vest
With the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon
In a telescope lens
And when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon
I'll see you soon

I know, you lost your trust
I know, you lost your trust

I Know, don't lose your trust
I know, you lost your trust

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Coldplay's song "See You Soon" are open to interpretation, but they can be seen as a message of hope and comfort to someone who has lost trust in others. The first verse urges the listener not to break their back worrying or trying to regain that lost trust. It acknowledges that the betrayal they experienced was wrong and should not have happened. The second verse talks about someone being pursued or chased by others, but the singer advises the listener not to worry or respond to their calls. The singer promises to do their best to be there for the listener, and assures them that they will see them soon. The repeated "I know, you lost your trust" lines can be seen as acknowledging the listener's pain and validating it.


The chorus is especially poignant as it describes the singer looking at the listener through a telescope lens, which may suggest that they are separated by distance. Despite this, the singer promises to be there for the listener and support them when they need friends the most. They acknowledge that the listener has been hurt and may struggle to trust people again, but the repeated "I'll see you soon" line offers hope and comfort.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a message of hope to someone who has been hurt and may be struggling with trust issues. The singer offers their support and promises to be there for the listener, even if physical distance separates them. The lyrics are open to interpretation and can be applied to various situations in which someone has lost trust or been betrayed.

See you lost your trust and you never should have, you never should have

Господи... Я только что её дочитала... Это нечто!
Сказать что книга изменила меня – не сказать ничего. Я прочитала все три части за 5 дней. Это полторы тысячи страниц. Ни капли не жалею о потраченном времени.
Сколько слёз я вылила над этой этой книгой... Ревела просто взахлёб.

Это песня является культовой для книги. Она стала гимном отношений, стала гимном ушедшей любви.
Как только дочитала книгу, я загуглила эту песню. Боже, какое это счастье! У меня действительно перехватило дух.
А что насчёт книги, то она шикарна. Заставила пересмотреть взгляды на мир.

"Мы счастливы и свободны", помните это, пожалуйста.

Many people interpret the songs of coldplay and relate them to only love stories but the most beautiful thing about coldplay songs that most of the time they have another meaning that we can relate to our daily struggles … they can help us to reshape our thinking and our prospective in a very realistic way that can help you to pass those downs in life.
this song was my best companion in many days and moments since I was in colleague and every time I have doubts in the choices that I have made for my life and when I feel that all is lost and there is no point of doing what am I doing it gave me the opportunity to rethink that again and to know that this is only trust issues and not by trust we mean only trusting others but we mean trusting ourselves.

so when he says So they came for you They came snapping at your heels it reminds me how people could be indifferent when you are trying to deal with your regrets so simply you should not break your back and answer this 😊
and when he says In a telescope lens when all you want is friends, I see you soon that shows how hard we should be with ourselves to reach to what we want

don’t lose your self-trust

@cryptobit5700

Chris use parables like the one 2000 years ago. He talk often about yourself

@oldfashionedtruth7704

One of the greatest Coldplay songs ever. It was one of the gems that were pre-parachutes... although I do believe Parachutes and ROBTTH are both absolute masterpieces, the pre parachutes gems, if you can find them, are fantastic and very moving songs.
