Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor
Welcome and entertain them all!
Because each has been sent as a guide
The lyrics to "Kaleidoscope" by Coldplay encourage listeners to embrace the ups and downs of life. The first two lines compare being human to being a guest house where new arrivals come each morning, representing different emotions and experiences. The next lines mention joy, depression, and meanness that come and go, but the key message is to welcome and entertain them all regardless of whether they are positive or negative. The final lines suggest that each moment is an opportunity for growth, and to be grateful for each experience as it is sent as a guide.
Overall, the lyrics promote mindfulness and acceptance towards the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of life. The metaphor of a guest house implies that emotions and experiences are temporary and subject to change, and may even help guide us towards personal and spiritual growth.
