Speed Of Sound Lyrics

Send "Speed Of Sound" Ringtone to your Cell

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
Ill start before I can stop,
or before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I have found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds come flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I have found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds come flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand

i LOVE this song! i think it talks about how things in life are at first puzzles but then when u try to get up and explore what they mean,eventually things begin to be clearer, but not nessesarily all of them...that's the best i could make out of it,,,,again:i LOVE this song!

Another beautiful song by Coldplay. The songwriter of the band is definitely one of the greatest one that exists. Their music is so great, it´s a mix of dreamy melodies and confused lyrics. I just love it. A lot of it describes my feelings.

Look, we can guess all we want as to the meaning of this song. But, in the end, the only person who knows the true meaning of the song is the one who wrote it. So stop wasting your time, and just enjoy the song.

If you don't like it, it's your prerogative. If you do, then enjoy it--that's really the only reason why artists sing the songs they choose--so we can enjoy them.

In the end, it's not even what the song means that matters--what matters is what it makes you feel when you listen to it...What it does to you...How it moves you...How it stirs or awakens some deep part of you.

Music must be the language of the soul, for it truly does have the ability to reach some unknown corner within the human soul (whatever that means, or is)...call it the soul...call it what you what...music is the stuff of the gods.

When a song like this one can affect us the way it does, it's gotta be good--regardless of what anybody has to say about it.

UPDATE:
I am getting freaking good at singing this song. I wonder...maybe I should record myself on my MP3 player...oh, wait the mike's stuffe,d ohwell.

Anyway, I've been listenign to this song, and it's actually 'Birds keep lfying at the speed of sound,' not 'Bird go flying at the speed of sound,', and it's 'All those places I got found'

Yep.

This is an excellent song! Much better than that rubbish song "Fix You".
~ALLY~ 12/01/2006 08:34:11
its "all the places i got found" the lyrics are on the coldplay website and who could know the lyrics better than them?

Wass - You beat me to the sceince explanation. I shall one day beat you to another explanation. Hah!!

Everyone else - Did you know, this is the ONLY song in existance that I cna sign without it sounding like a cat's tail on a rusty fence? Yes. It is.

Also, theoretically, any one song can be about drugs. So broaden your mind. No, better: Free your mind. Look at other stuff.

little possum:
i wish you and the rest of the sadistic peeps like you would quit the "dont argue" "argue else where" bollocks. arguing is debating so bite that fyi im DEFINITELY a girl
breebear 23/09/2005 01:39:11
Coldplay sux!
little possum 22/09/2005 05:34:29
*sigh*
Okay, if you guys are going to argue, please do it somewhere where we don't have to listen. These boards were put here to comment on the song, not argue.

Wass, that's probably the only logical explanation here. I didn't think of that one. See, this is why I am flunking poetry at the moment.
tigerx23 22/09/2005 04:20:13
wass44 - I think you may be onto something there. That's probably the best explaination of the song yet. Thanks for your post.

You're very first remark.

This song is about evolution, how man first incorparated science to the speed of sound, then the speed of light. Some stuff makes sence to him but others don't quite fit, but when you break it down into simple terms you can see a bird flying faster then the birds sound(of his wings hitting one another) the bird is flying faster then HIS speed of sound to onlookers, like you and me. Do you get it. Evolution of science became this way, thats what I think.

The Last True Rocker 18/09/2005 05:00:23
Someone please make it stop!

This is my business.
