EveryTeardropIsaWaterfall是Coldplay的歌曲,歌词简直是“神的孩子都跳舞”的最佳注解,整个篇章都和以往的作品一样,充满了非常容易被理解的宏大诗意。诸如“Andallthekidstheydance,allthekidsallnight,untilMondaymorningfeelsanotherlife”(所有的孩子都在跳舞,跳一整晚,直到周一的早晨感知到新的生命)这样的字句统统表达着关于时代和理想的明喻和暗喻。
在歌词里,他们把自己比喻成“夹缝中的一代”,还把这一代的眼泪比成瀑布,最终用“高举旗帜”点题,秉承了Coldplay一贯的歌词含义走向:在这个轻飘的时代,宁愿用反叛的方式继续承重的理想,那真是相当的励志
EveryTeardropIsAWaterfall此曲与之前作品风格有较大不同,更多的电子气息和更少的Britpop及摇滚元素为年底发行的新专辑做了铺垫。
I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart stop beating to my favorite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw oh this light I swear you'll,
Emerge blinking into to tell me it's alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Ah
Is a waterfall
Ah ah ah
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Ah ah ah
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-terfall
A wa wa wa wa wa-terfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
