Fun
Coldplay (www.DESCARGASMIX.com) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's over before she says
I know it falls at the water face
I know it's over, an ocean awaits
For a storm
The sun and snow
Rivers and rain
Crystal ball could foresee a change
And I know it's over, parting our ways
And it's done

But didn't we have fun?
Don't say it was all a waste
Didn't we have fun?
Oh-oh-oh
From the top of the world
Top of the waves
You said forever, forever always
We could have been lost
We would have been saved
Oh, I-aaah
Now we're stopping the world, stopping it's spin
Oh come on don't give up
You see me give in
Don't say it's over
Don't say we're done
Oh, didn't we have fun?
Woo-oh-oh-oh
Woo-oh-oh-oh
Woo-oh-oh-oh
Oh, didn't we have fun?

I know it's over before she says
Now someone else has taken your place
I know it's over Icarus says to the sun
And so it sinks in, lightning strikes
You're too forced to force his glide
The fact that it's over, the fact that it's done
Ah-ah-ah

Didn't we have fun?
Don't say it was all a waste
Didn't we have fun?
Oh-oh
From the top of the world
Top of the waves
You said forever, forever always
We could have been lost
We would have been saved
Oh, I-aaah
Now we're stopping the world, stopped it in its tracks
Nothing's too broken to find our way back
So before it's over, before you run
Ah, didn't we have fun?

Just you and me
We were always meant to, always meant to
Be
We were always meant to, always meant to
You and me
We were always meant to, always meant to
Be
Oh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, didn't we have fun?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, didn't we have fun?




But didn't?
Maybe we could again

Overall Meaning

The song "Fun" by Coldplay explores the aftermath of a failed romantic relationship. The lyrics provide a sense of acceptance that the relationship is over, but also reflect on the happy moments that were shared between the couple. The first verse speaks of knowing that the relationship is ending, as the singer envisions an impending storm that will mark the end of their love. Despite this, they reminisce about their past experiences and the happy moments they shared as a couple. The chorus emphasizes the idea that even though the relationship is over, it was not a waste of time, and that they indeed had fun together.


The second verse continues with the idea of accepting that the relationship is no more as the singer sees someone else in the place that they used to occupy. The lines "Icarus says to the sun, so you sink in, lightning strikes" allude to the Greek myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, resulting in his demise. The singer can relate to Icarus as they find themselves falling from the heights of love to the depths of despair. The chorus is repeated with a slight variation, but the line "now we're stopping the world, stopped it in its tracks" suggests that they have come to a stop in their lives due to this heartbreak. However, they still reflect on the happier times that they shared, and express the desire to have fun again.
