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 ↴
I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me
But I wake up, yes I wake up smiling
[Chorus]
So what I feel fine
I'm okay, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright I feel goodSo ill go, ill try to start moving
Sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep
But I've got to get going, so much that I wanted to do
But I wake up smiling
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground
Sometimes I feel the chance is surprising
Surprisingly good to be moving around
And I move, and I wake up smiling
[Chorus]
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground
And there's nothing to keep them
Nothing to keep them down
And there's nothing to keep them
There's nothing to keep them down.

Surprisingly good to be moving around

And there's nothing to keep them down
There are no constraints or limitations to hold me back
There's nothing to keep them
There are no hindrances to restrict my potential

Ever wonder 'bout what he's doin'?
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right?
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Ever worry that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try

Dear stranger,
I’m writing this to tell you that you’re not alone in this universe... it’s okay to feel down for a moment in life, but always remember that the light will come and everything has a solution even if we feel like there isn’t... if you are studying now and you feel lost or cannot concentrate, please do not compare yourself to others. You don’t know anything about them and the same for you. Take a break. Laugh. Enjoy your alone time and cherish yourself. And please never forget that everyone in this world shine but each one of us has a different light. You don’t have to be like any other person. Love yourself! Love your alone time and enjoy this journey in life! It’s short so make the most out of it! All my love and support for the ones who are struggling!!!
