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 ↴
Used to be you here beside me
Used to be your arms around me
Your body on my body
When the pain just rips right through me
Another's arms, another's arms
The world means nothing to me
Late night watching TV
Used to be you here beside me
Is there someone there to reach me
Or someone there to find me
When the pain just rips right through me
Another's arms, another's arms
The world means nothing to me
Another's arms, another's arms
Got to pull yourself into me
Another's arms, another's arms
This's just torture to me
Another's arms, another's arms
Got to pull you close to me
Another's arms, another's arms
Pull yourself right through me
Another's arms, another's arms
Late night watching TV
Wish that you were here beside me
Wish that your arms were around me
Your body on my body
The lyrics to Coldplay's song, "Another's Arms," are a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the raw emotions of loss. The verses begin with the singer, most likely reflecting on past memories with a partner, who is no longer in the picture. The lines "Late night watching TV, used to be you here beside me, used to be your arms around me, your body on my body," suggest the intimacy and closeness the singer once shared with their significant other. However, the following lines are where the pain and heartbreak come in. "When the pain just rips right through me, Another's arms, another's arms, the world means nothing to me" shows that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of their relationship and is now trying to find solace in the arms of another.
The repetition of the line "Another's arms, another's arms" emphasizes the singer's feelings of betrayal and hurt. They are not only grieving the loss of their partner but also the realization that they have moved on with someone else. The chorus suggests that the singer is torn between staying in their current situation or trying to move on. The lines "Got to pull yourself into me, this is just torture to me, got to pull you close to me, pull yourself right through me" indicate a sense of desperation and conflict within the singer's mind.

@theharshtruthoutthere
@Jillian Sy Wordily pleasures for the ears and for the eyes: music, movies, sport. That kind of entertainment is given by lucifer to mankind, to keep them busy doing and knowing nothing, When human dies, he or she is surprised that he or she keeps existing. Yet the only reason for it is, they had their lifetime on earth catching delusions and illusions. Never loved the truth, never cared for it and as some used to say: 1st comes laughter, then turning of the head, then closing of the ears, freezing of the heart, then life in struggle and then regrets and cries. The last 2 shall be there forever. = the life of a ignorant fools. Creating “perfect” offspring who`s genetic DNA is mixed: human + animal + angel + inverting every soul + posses them with evil spirits = perfect spell casting, look at the public, they all sing and dance along not sensing reality. The tares and the wheat – a story in the bible. 2 different offspring, growing together, shoulder next to shoulder.
The "rituals" haven`t stopped happening, these got renamed to fit the timelines: in our days, the rituals are:
music concerts
showing off the masonic hand sighs and symbols
becoming "trans"
still needed blood sacrificing (singers, actors, in need of sacrificing their loved ones and friends, later being the needed sacrifice themselves, these are knows an “accidental overdoses”).
few more.
