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.

No Moore Keeping my feet on the ground
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 good
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.

Sometimes I wake up when I'm falling asleep
There are times when I'm not sure if I'm still awake or already asleep
I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me
I have thoughts that my life is slowly coming to an end
But I wake up, yes I wake up smiling
But when I finally wake up, I feel grateful for another day and I am optimistic
So what I feel fine
It's alright because I'm feeling good
I'm okay, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright because I've learned to appreciate the good things in life
I'm alright I feel good
I am doing well and feeling positive
So ill go, ill try to start moving
I will start moving forward towards achieving my goals
But I've got to get going, so much that I wanted to do
I have a lot of plans and things that I want to accomplish
And this could be my last chance
I realize that this moment might be my last opportunity
Of saving my innocence
To preserve my purity and naivety
No more keeping my feet on the ground
I will take risks and not be afraid to step out of my comfort zone
Sometimes I feel the chance is surprising
Occasionally, I am pleasantly surprised by the opportunities that come my way
Surprisingly good to be moving around
It feels remarkably good to be alive and active
And I move, and I wake up smiling
I keep on moving forward in life and continue to be optimistic
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

Lyrics:
Feels like I'm surfing on a soundwave
Zooming through the universe
Feels like we're bouncing off of lightwaves
A bounce so hard sometimes it hurts, mmh-hm
Well every time I think I'm stuck
The sun moves along and my shadow gets up
If you're lost (if you're lost) relax (relax)
And be where your feet are (and be where your feet are)
Uh, yeah
Every time I try to follow someone's way
My end result is not the same
But then I do that thing, that thing I do that's just for me
And amazing things start happening, and again and again and
Every time I think I'm stuck
The sun moves along and my shadow gets up
If you're lost (if you're lost) relax (relax)
And be where your feet are (be where your feet are)
Outer space is where I'm spacing out
Still looking up when I'm feeling down, mmh-hm
I try to walk the talk, I talk but the tail is taller
When I look up, it's still too easy to feel small, still I found
If you're lost (if you're lost) just relax (relax)
And be where your feet are (be where your feet are)
If you ever get lost (if you're lost) relax (relax)
And be where your feet are (be where your feet are)
If you ever get lost (if you ever get lost) kick back (relax)
And be where your feet are (be where your feet are)
If you ever get lost (if you ever get lost) kick back (relax)
And be where your feet are, be where your feet are
I'm gon' be right here

You think this is Jason sticking to his genre his entire life? Seems like you haven't listened to any of his music that's older than "I'm Yours". I miss his old stuff.
