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.

Up and Up
Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
Up and up
Up and up
Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick on your orange field
Up and up
See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It's in your blood
It's in your blood
Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
Sitting with the poison takes away the pain
Up and up
Up and up, it's saying
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up
Up and up
How come people suffer, how come people part?
How come people struggle
How come people break your heart?
Break your heart, oh
Yes I wanna grow, yes I wanna feel
Yes I wanna know
Show me how to heal it up
Heal it up
Oh, see the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love, just need love
When the going is rough, saying
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
And you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind and take a risk
You can say "It's mine" and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a gift
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you're in pain
When you think you've had enough
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up
The song “Up&Up” by Coldplay is all about overcoming life’s struggles and rising above the challenges that we face. The chorus of the song is a mantra of sorts, encouraging the listener to keep moving forward, to stay positive and to never give up. In the first verse, the lyrics use the metaphor of fixing up a car to suggest the idea of rebuilding, of taking something old and broken down and giving it new life. The second verse talks about working hard, waiting for opportunities and aiming high, likening this to painting a picture. The bridge brings up the idea of taking refuge in something when times get tough, like sitting under an umbrella when it’s raining outside or turning to something harmful to numb the pain.
Throughout the entire song, “Up&Up” speaks to the power of hope, perseverance, and love as a means of breaking through the obstacles that life inevitably throws our way. The chorus of the song encourages the listener to keep fighting, to keep believing that things will get better, and that healing is possible. By imbuing the lyrics with inspirational language and uplifting imagery, the song aims to help listeners see the beauty and joy in life, even when they’re going through tough times.

It's in your blood
Having something in your nature, in your very being

Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Attempting to do something impossible or incredibly difficult
How come people suffer, how come people part?
Questioning the inevitabilities of life, such as pain and separation
How come people struggle, how come people break your heart?
Asking existential questions about the hardships of life
Break your heart, oh
Expressing emotional pain or sadness
Yes I wanna grow, yes I wanna feel
Desiring personal development and emotional sensitivity
Yes I wanna know
Seeking knowledge and understanding
Show me how to heal it up
Asking for guidance on how to fix a problem
Oh, see the forest there in every seed
Seeing the potential for great things in the smallest and most insignificant details
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Discovering hidden beauty or potential that needs freeing
Just need love, just need love
Love being the solution to many of our problems
When the going is rough, saying
Putting on a brave face in challenging situations
And you can say what is, or fight for it
Choosing to accept things as they are or to work towards changing them
Close your mind and take a risk
Taking a chance on something without being fully informed or prepared
You can say "It's mine" and clench your fist
Refusing to let go of something, and holding it tightly
Or see each sunrise as a gift
Embracing the beauty and possibilities of each new day, with gratitude
Don't ever give up
Persisting through tough times and holding onto hope
