The Scientist
Natalia Lacunza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
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 this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
Oh, take me back to the start
Oh, take me back to the start
Oh, take me back to the start
The lyrics to Natalia Lacunza's cover of The Scientist by Coldplay express the classic themes of love, loss, and longing.

The singer is trying to reconcile with their lover, acknowledging their own faults, and expressing appreciation for what they had. The urgency in "I had to find you, tell you I need you / Tell you I set you apart" suggests that the singer may have taken their relationship for granted and is now realizing the error of their ways.
Throughout the song, there is an underlying sense of frustration and sadness, as evidenced in the lines "Nobody said it was easy / No one ever said it would be this hard." Despite their best efforts to fix what has been broken, the singer recognizes that rebuilding will be a difficult and painful process. The repetition of "Oh, take me back to the start" throughout the song emphasizes the desire to start fresh and try again.

Una vez más lo hizo Natalia es ganadora no solo por esta actuación, por todas, porque es única y una artista de pies a cabeza muy completa. Pero es que ayer tuve lágrimas en los ojos desde que abrió la boca. Natalia tú y mil veces más cruza la pasarela y gana
Ernesto Segura Martín
Esta interpretación está al nivel de Amaia en 'Shake it out'. Hay que seguir la progresión de Natalia antes de entrar en OT y el potencial que atesora, con tan sólo 19 años, para concluir que tiene un futuro impresionante. Es tan completa que va ser un referente de la Música Española.
