The Hardest Part
Coldplay (by f@riz rec.) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part
And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out
And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart
And I tried to sing
But I couldn't think of anything
And that was the hardest part
I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it's all about
I wonder what it's all about
Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it's just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
Oh and it's the part
That's the hardest part
Yeah that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part
The lyrics to Coldplay's song "The Hardest Part" are a reflection of the difficulty that comes with letting go of someone or something that was a significant part of one's life. The opening lines, “And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part, was the hardest part,” speak to the challenge of not being involved in something that was once a daily occurrence. The song speaks to the difficulty of trying to move on from a broken relationship, and the struggle to find closure after being disappointed.
The next lines of the song, “And the strangest thing was waiting for that bell to ring, it was the strangest start,” suggest that he’s waiting for something that might not happen. He’s waiting for a clear sign to make a move, a change in his life, but it never comes. The song also touches on the bittersweet feeling of letting go of someone, “I could feel it go down, bittersweet I could taste in my mouth, silver lining the cloud.”
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more ambiguous, with lines like “Everything I know is wrong, everything I do, it's just comes undone, and everything is torn apart” suggesting that he’s lost and unsure of where to go next. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the lines “That's the hardest part, yeah that's the hardest part, that's the hardest part,” emphasizing that letting go is never an easy task.
Overall, The Hardest Part is a song about the complexity of saying goodbye, and the difficulty in finding closure after losing something or someone significant.
