Major Minus
Coldplay Lyrics

They got one eye watching you
You are being watched and observed closely by someone or something

One eye on what you do
They are paying attention to every action and decision you make

So be careful who it is you're talking to
Be cautious of the people you choose to converse with

So be careful what it is you're trying to do
Think before you act or make any attempts to change the situation

And be careful when you're walking in the view
Be cautious of your actions and surroundings when you are visible and exposed

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This line is a musical interlude with no specific meaning

Got one eye on the road and one on you
The watcher is dividing their attention between you and their responsibilities or objectives

So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true
The watcher cannot be trusted, and their words should not be believed

D-don't believe a word, it's us against the world
The situation calls for solidarity and skepticism, as the group is facing opposition from all sides

And we just got to turn up to be heard
The group needs to be vocal and present in order to make their voices and opinions heard

Hear the crocodiles ticking 'round the world
The ticking crocodiles represent the looming danger and threat that surrounds the group

Hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking 'round the world
This line reinforces the idea of danger, repetition, and the far-reaching impact of the threat

You could hear them climbing the stairs
The sense of danger is increasing, and the group can hear it getting closer and closer

I got my right side fighting while
One member of the group is actively fighting against the danger and opposition

My left hides under the chairs
Another member of the group is trying to avoid confrontation and danger by hiding
