Coldplay - Violet Hill Lyrics






It was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me, won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God

Priests clutched onto Bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross was held aloft

Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze

And if you love me, won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me, why d'you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

Said if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?

    What happened to Coldplay since 2008 :( haven't come anywhere close

  44. N.... L....

    1941 the axis knew they weren’t going to win the war so they drew the us in a month early to save himmler. They knew they were going to end the war in 45 because they wouldn’t be able to win it. That’s why the date doesn’t add up they forced the us to symbolize demeaning me.

  45. G.... ....

    Such a short song says so much with the verse and chord. Really deserves more praise.

    Best Song ever

  57. K.... ....

    I was a middle-schooler when this came out. Jammed to this a lot and had so many imaginative scenarios come to mind with the music, the lyrics, and the visuals. Constantly reminded me of bleak episodes in modern history such as the Siege of Sarajevo. Come to think of it, this song just makes me think of the Yugoslav wars and the bitter winters that those people had to endure during those times.

  58. E.... T....

    I think that the video could be the cause of the underate of this song.

  59. s.... g....

    Those 60s cameras give a scary look to this clip

  60. K.... R....

    Wow fantastic !!

  61. v.... h....

    i feel a deep connection with this song. reminds me of my childhood. partly because my name is violet hill... lmao.
