EVERGLOW
Coldplay :: Teh-Music.Com :: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I get caught up in this state of mind
Since you left my broken heart in two
I’m living in a deeper shade of blue
Somewhere I’m high up there in that big blue sky
Somewhere with that perfect point of view
Even though time beats slow
I miss you more than you will know
Every night I dream of me and you
Baby you’re my everglow
So go and face your fears
Get up and wipe away your tears
Don’t you know that time heals everything
Turn another winter into spring
‘Cuz baby now I can see
A brand new sun is shining
A perfect silver lining in my life
I see your face in every inch of life
Even though time beats slow
I miss you more than you will know
Every night I dream of me and you
Baby you’re my everglow
In "Everglow," Coldplay elegantly delves into themes of love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of memories. The opening lines set the stage for a deep emotional struggle as the singer grapples with the aftermath of a significant relationship. The phrase “Sometimes I get caught up in this state of mind” captures a sense of entrapment within the sorrowful thoughts that linger after a partner has left. The imagery of a “broken heart in two” serves to underline the pain felt after separation, where "living in a deeper shade of blue" symbolizes a profound sadness that permeates the singer's life, showcasing how absence intensifies emotional experiences and colors one's perception of reality.
As the song progresses, a shift occurs when the singer invokes the idea of a "big blue sky." This metaphorical space not only represents hope and freedom but also a connection to the lost partner, suggesting that their essence may still be present in a celestial form. The “perfect point of view” implies that there’s a source of comfort and guidance that the singer perceives as coming from the departed, reinforcing the notion that love transcends physical absence. This sense of spiritual or emotional connection provides solace amidst the pain, suggesting that while the relationship may have ended in a tangible sense, the impact and the love shared continue to provide strength.
The refrain captures the central theme of longing, emphasizing the slow passage of time and the profound nature of missing someone. The repetition of “I miss you more than you will know” emphasizes the ineffable quality of grief and highlights how personal loss can feel isolating, as if the loved one could never fully comprehend the depth of the singer's emotions. The mention of dreaming of “me and you” evokes a longing for the past, where memories serve as a comforting but haunting presence, creating a dichotomy between what was and what is. The term "everglow" itself becomes a powerful symbol of enduring love—the light that persists despite the darkness brought by separation.
In the latter part of the song, a note of optimism emerges. The encouragement to "face your fears" and “wipe away your tears” suggests a shift toward healing and acceptance, as time is acknowledged as a natural healer. The transition from "winter into spring" embodies rebirth and renewal, illustrating a journey toward emotional resilience. The singer asserts that even amidst the wave of grief, a “brand new sun is shining,” symbolizing newfound hope and clarity as they come to terms with their loss. The idea of seeing the partner’s face “in every inch of life” reveals that love has infused the world around them; even in heartbreak, there remains beauty and light, rendered through memories and lasting feelings. This intricate weaving of sorrow and hope encapsulates the essence of “Everglow,” illustrating how love, even when it ends in loss, can continue to illuminate life’s path.

Coldplay - Everglow (Lyrics)
Oh, they say people come, say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone, and the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
And I should, but I can’t let you go
But when I’m cold, cold
When I’m cold, cold
There’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow
There’s a feeling within me, everglow
Like brothers in blood, sisters who ride
Ye' we swore on that night we’d be friends 'til we die
But the changing of winds, and the way waters flow
Life is short as the falling of snow
And now, I’m gonna miss you, I know
But when I’m cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
And I know you’re always with me and the way you will show
And you’re with me wherever I go
And you give me this feeling, this everglow
Oh, what I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold
Yeah, I live for this feeling, this everglow
So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you left me will everglow
[Spoken-Word Outro: Muhammad Ali:]
God is watching me
God don't praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don't give nothing about Joe Frazier
God don't care nothing about England or America as far as real wealth… it's all His
He wants to know how do we treat each other?
How do we help each other?
So, I'm going to dedicate my life to using my name and popularity to helping charities, helping people, uniting people
People bombing each other because of religious beliefs
We need somebody in the world to help us all make peace
So when I die – if there's a heaven – I'm gonna see it
@gerardoolivo1711
Well, they say people come
The say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone, and the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
And I should but I can't let you go
But when I'm cold, I'm cold
Yeah, when I'm cold
Cold
There's a light that you give me when I'm in shadow
There's a feeling within me, an everglow
Like brothers in blood, or sisters who ride
Yeah we swore on that night we'd be friends 'til we die
But the changing of winds, and the way waters flow
Life is short as the falling of snow
And I'm gonna miss you, I know
But when I'm cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
And I know that you're with me and the way you will show
And you're with me wherever I go
And you give me this feeling, this everglow
What I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold
Because, I live for this feeling, this everglow
So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you gave me will everglow

It´s a great tribute for Muhammad Ali. Beautiful spech: "God is watching me
God don't praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don't give nothing about Joe Frazier
God don't care nothing about England or America as far as real wealth… it's all His.
He wants to know how do we treat each other?
How do we help each other?
So, I'm going to dedicate my life to using my name and popularity to helping charities, helping people, uniting people

I really, really didn't expect at all to cry as much as I'm crying right now. I'm litterally sobbing.
I felt tears coming when i was just watching him play, because for the first time in so long, Chris made me feel again what it was like to fall in love in the wide sense, fall in love with the entire human race, with the human nature. Just because he was here, playing, dodling his head. I don't know how to explain why it made me so emotional to watch him. I mean, i've seen him play in videos dozens of times, and I never cried like this. Maybe the feeling that (even if he's way older than me) he grew up so much since Coldplay was born, in every sense of the term, yet here it was like i was seeing him at his beginning, with this look of sheer absorbtion on his face, the way he's lost into the music. Love is radiating out of this man. Love and some sort of purity i can't put words on.
Then, the lyrics, of course. So deep, and powerful. Carrying a beautiful and important message. It makes me feel like every single soul to walk the Earth is important and needed (please, who ever you are who's reading this, you're important. We need you here. And i love you).
On a more personnal note, when he said "so if you love someone/you should let them know" made me burst into tears even more because the man i love is far, far away, I'll probably never see him again and I never told him about how I feel. Never. I couldn't.
And, finally, the images of the great Mohammed Ali, may his soul rest in peace in God's heaven. I'm muslim, like he was. So when he said that he wants to see what Heaven is like, it made me laugh and cry even more at the same time. Because i know he's there. There in heaven. And it makes me so peaceful.
Long story short, there was a whole lot of tears ^^ Chris, thank you. Thank you so much for everything you're doing, for the beautiful light you're spreading on this planet. I love you. I couldn't love you more than i do tonight. Thank you.
(And thank you to anyone who read that longass comment until the end ^^ I love you too. Please take care and carry on with your beautiful soul.)
Love.
