Atlas
Coldplay ft. Avicii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire
Must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Some far away
Some search for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope
Is just up the road
Show me the way, Lord
'Cause I am about to explode
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world (Carry your world)
And all your hurt
Carry your world
Carry your world
The lyrics to "Atlas" by Coldplay tell a story of carrying someone else's burdens or struggles, even during times of chaos and conflict. The first stanza references different perspectives or experiences of a particular event, possibly a violent one: "Some saw the sun, Some saw the smoke, Some heard the gun, Some bent the bow." This could relate to a war or conflict where some people were able to escape and see the aftermath, while others were in the midst of it.
The second stanza speaks to the idea of carrying another's world, with the lyrics "Carry your world, I'll carry your world." This is a powerful notion, suggesting that one person is willing to take on the weight of someone else's life, struggles, and pain. The line "Caught in the fire, say oh/We're about to explode" could be interpreted as someone feeling overwhelmed or on the brink of a breakdown, but their partner or friend promises to carry them through.
Line by Line Meaning
Some saw the sun
Some people saw the beauty and light in life
Some saw the smoke
Others saw the darkness and negativity
Some heard the gun
Some experienced violence and pain
Some bent the bow
Others were fighting and resisting
Sometimes the wire
In difficult times, tension must build up
Must tense for the note
A person must endure or adjust to the challenge
Caught in the fire, say oh
Trapped in a dangerous and intense situation
We're about to explode
On the verge of reaching a breaking point
Carry your world
I am willing to bear your struggles and challenges
I'll carry your world
I will provide support and strength for you
Some far away
Others are distant and disconnected
Some search for gold
Some people are in pursuit of material wealth
Some dragon to slay
Others are fighting their own personal battles
Heaven we hope
We seek a better and brighter future
Is just up the road
Believing that great things are within reach
Show me the way, Lord
Asking for guidance and direction
'Cause I am about to explode
Feeling overwhelmed and in need of help
And all your hurt
Acknowledging and sharing the pain of others
