Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart

But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails

Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh




Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Coldplay's "The Scientist" depict a story of a person trying to reconcile with a former lover. The singer expresses their regret for hurting their partner and acknowledges how beautiful they are. The singer then acknowledges that they need their partner and desires to know their secrets and fears as they try to mend their relationship. However, despite their efforts, the relationship seems to be stuck in a vicious cycle, with neither party seeming to make progress in reconciling. The singer longs for a fresh start, to go back to the beginning, where the relationship was strong and full of hope.


The song's chorus, "Nobody said it was easy/ No one ever said it would be so hard," explores the notion that relationships are challenging and require effort from both parties. Even though the singer acknowledges that the road to reconciliation is difficult, they are still willing to put in the necessary work to repair their relationship.


Overall, "The Scientist" is a song that deals with the universal theme of trying to rekindle a broken relationship. Chris Martin's vocal delivery is emotive and reinforces the song's central theme of longing and regret.

I used to listen to this when my ex boyfriend broke up with me last year. It helped me express my feelings, cried myself out until I had no tears to cry. I moved on. I thought I could not make it but here I am. I am okay. I feel better and I am okay with being alone now. Never thought letting go of the love of my life, whom I cherish the most, is the very best thing that will help me grow.
