Speed Of Sound

Speed Of Sound
How long before I get in
before it starts, before I begin
How long before we decide
before I know what it feels like
Where do, where do I go
if you never tried then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
up on this side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at the night
planets are moving at the speed of light
Come up, up in the trees
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long I can stand
with my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
before I see things that I made up
And all that noise, all that sound
all those pieces that I have found
and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound
to show 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 were all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
all the land that I couldn't see
Somethings you have to believe
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
And all that noise, all that sound
all those pieces that I have found
and the earth is gone flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds come flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
oh, when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs I knew what they meant
Something you can't invent
Something great, something sad
Ooh...
Words go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
oh, when you see it then you'll understand
'Speed of Sound' es una canción de Coldplay que invita a reflexionar sobre el tiempo, la exploración y la comprensión del mundo que nos rodea. Con una melodía envolvente y letras evocativas, la banda nos lleva a un viaje a través de la contemplación de la velocidad a la que se mueven los planetas, la importancia de aprovechar cada oportunidad y la incertidumbre que a veces nos paraliza...
