Coldplay - X Marks The Spot Lyrics






(So I race for it)

Stare into darkness, staring at doom
My heart, bo-boom, bo-boom boom
Stare into darkness, admit defeat
Coming home and I'm finding no peace

And I know, and I know and I know
I know I'm out of luck
And I know, and I know and I know
I know what you've got

So, I put my hands up to the sky
I feel alive
I've got a rocket ship that I wanna ride
I put my hands up to the sky
That's alright
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

(So I race for it)
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
(So I race for it)

Stare into darkness, staring at doom
You make my heart bo-boom, bo-boom boom
Superhero, masterpiece
Been innocent but a sinner in me

And I know, and I know and I know
I know I'm in luck
And I know, and I know and I know
I know when I'm not

I just put my hands up to the sky
I feel alive
I've got a rocket ship that I wanna ride
I put my hands up to the sky
Feeling inside
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

Put my hands up to the sky
Feeling alright
I've got a rocket, eyes on the prize
I put my hands up to the sky
I'm gonna find
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

(So I race for it)
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
(So I race for it)
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

(So I race for it)
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know what I've got
(So I race for it)
X marks the spot

So, I put my hands up to the sky
I feel alive
I've got a rocket ship that I wanna ride
I put my hands up to the sky
Feeling inside
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

Put my hands up to the sky
Feeling alright
I've got a rocket, eyes on the prize
I put my hands up to the sky
I'm gonna find
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

  47. H.... C....

    This is the only version that hasn't been muted for copyright

  48. J.... P....

    I like this one, a tad over mixed, but the hook is good.

  49. K.... I....

  53. J.... T....

    Love it!

  54. H.... C....

    My heart b boom b boom boom! Love this! I'm Coldplay's biggest fan!
    Follow me on Instagram: @I.Love.Coldplay!
    I subbed, it'd be great if you could sub back!

  55. J.... S....

    sorry, this is just not the best coldplay has ever done...

    J.... S....

    Jochem Scharenborg sorry they can't overtop every song they've done. It's always opinion but this is one of my favorite songs by them. Underrated and I really appreciate this song. I agree it's not the best but you can't expect them to make a new best song every release they do.

    J.... S....

    woomin its no critisism towards them, i just wish the album wasnt like this.

    J.... S....

    Jochem Scharenborg I'm sure they will make albums that tie back to their old ones.

  56. c.... _....

    i love this song by the way the tittle remind me of the movie saw

  57. F.... E....

    Am I the only one who actually spent an hour vibin out to this song?

    F.... E....

    Fred Edmilson word

    F.... E....

    nope nope :) Already did it multiple times :)

    F.... E....

    Sorry,no

    F.... E....

    Fred Edmilson no this my cut

  58. F.... ....

    Thanks so much for adding this, you're a star! It's my favourite track on the album x

  59. A.... c....

    i heard this song at first time when i was a crazy and totally confused person, and i put my hands up and i knew GOD put this song in my life to be a new person!

  60. E.... ....

    well, coldplay has gone full pop in this one. Il mis their alternative style

  61. s.... ....

    best track

  62. g.... g....

    I have been looking for this for so long thank you!

  63. C.... E....

    Wish that talented 1998-2008 coldplay came back 😪

    C.... E....

    This song is probably the worst song they ever wrote, even as a hidden track, its just bad. Hidden tracks such as Chinese sleep chant, the escapist, life is for living and especially Til kindom come are masterpieces. Just disappointed with this song

  64. E.... s....

    estuve buscando esa rola como loca
    ahora quiero la traducción

  65. L.... ....

    I dare you to find another Coldplay song with this much swag, that's probably why it's so addictive

    L.... ....

    Lumitopia real shit. He was on sum shit here. Killed it

    L.... ....

    Somehow i wouldnt call it "swag"... but its just "coldplay".. the feelings they invoke are not exactly defined yet

  66. T.... J....

    I think Coldplay is amazing regardless of any new sound ... evolution is needed, you can't stick with the same sound for your entire career. there's is only so much you can do with each song sounding similar.

  67. j.... m....

    the beat, the slow drop. Man this song is a great fusion of edm and rock

    j.... m....

    jose martinez it’s called hip hop

  68. R.... M....

    I luv this

  69. g.... ....

    FYI, the line "So I reach for it" does not appear anywhere in this tune.  The line is always "So I race for it."

  70. H.... A....

    Lol didn't know this was a hidden track. Thought army of one just had a major plot twist😂

    H.... A....

    Same , i was like !! Is this is new style for coldplay

    H.... A....

    wish there was a full version

    H.... A....

    Haha, same thought!

    H.... A....

    Holly Ayrton true😂i think"its this a virus in my cd?!"😂i'm stupid

    H.... A....

    I don't think anyone knew xD

  71. M.... Y....

    How did you avoid copyright problem When uploading The video ? Aren't you blocked In different country ?

  72. W.... S....

    Why they don't perform it live? Seems like a great option for a b-stage performance

    W.... S....

    It's honestly one my my least favorite songs off of the new album so they may not be playing it live because people don't like it or because the song doesn't work live

    W.... S....

    It works, they use playback all the time nowadays; bass, guitar and drumpad, like i said perfect for a b-stage. And well, gotta say it's not the best song to put in an album, should have been a b-side.

  73. R.... ....

    That's just one of those "Much better than today's [insert random rock band]" comment.
    Doesn't apply to Linken Park though. Linkin Park is awesome

  74. S.... S....

    so grateful to have found this mix, was so tired to rewind everytime at minute 3:23. Can´t explain the reason why this one has become one of my fave coldplay´s (and most listened on repeat mode!) of all times. Thank you for posting this!!! :)

  75. L.... A....

    If only they didn't just use less than an hour to make this song...
    But I guess this album is supposed to be everything Chris appreciates and loves together so it's alright... The vocals are overproduced and the song doesn't have any real instruments --- and that bugs me, other than that I can appreciate as a silly dance song with a catchy beat. The beat is decently catchy.

  76. G.... J....

    Love this song!! Reminds me so much of the early Coldplay sound (of which I keep hoping they will revisit more in upcoming albums). Thanks for posting!

    G.... J....

    THIS reminds you of the early Coldplay? Then you don't know the early Coldplay

    G.... J....

    +Mylo X. In ways It reminds me of a bit of X&Y and Mylo Had a baby.

    G.... J....

    +JP Craft sorry, but then you've never heard Coldplay 😂

    G.... J....

    this is SO not the old coldplay. This is some drake Kanye West bullshit

  77. S.... ....

    Thanks, this will help me on my work day

  78. O.... ....

    this is what i need in my life!

  79. M.... R....

    I don't know why but i actually like this song, many hate this because its "Not so Coldplay" "The lyrics and instruments is a garbage" etc.
    Why is that? I see nothing is wrong about this song, Coldplay is a mixed genre after all

    M.... R....

    I agree, man

    M.... R....

    actually i didn't like this song at first, then after listening arm of one a couple of times i realized x marks the spot was beautiful also :)

    M.... R....

    M. Rozzaq Yusaliano so true I love this tune

    M.... R....

    The music is actually Indie Rock. But people don't like the approach Coldplay took when they released A Head Full Of Dreams. Nothing wrong with them not liking the new Coldplay feel. Personally, I like this new take on Coldplay, but some don't really like it.

  80. M.... ....

    If this was some indie band people would love this song people love to hate coldplay for some reason

    M.... ....

    +Steven G. No, the reason is because a lot of people actually know their old music (songs like Yellow, Clocks, Fix You) and their newer records are shit compared to what they have done before

    M.... ....

    Sadly, that's right, this track it's really poor compared to... for example... Life in Technicolor II ♥

    M.... ....

    This is a small filler track never meant to be a stand along song. So, comparing it to Life in Technicolor or any other more standard Coldplay song really isn't the thing to do. It's catchy and hypnotic. Two things which Coldplay are very good at producing.

    M.... ....

    +Mylo X. Shit is subjective, coldplay changed their sound and you dont like it, thats all.

    M.... ....

    No, most people would say the same thing. Not a fan of the trap beats, it sounds very basic. Just doesnt compare to the band's other stuff.

  81. C.... R....

    My teacher asked me to give something to the principal at the front desk, making sure the principal signed it. My teacher showed me where she wanted it signed saying "Make sure she signs it here. X marks the spot." And all I could think of was this song, so I was singing this song all the way down the hall to the principal's office.

  82. F.... P....

    which album is this song?

    F.... P....

    +Faradiba Putri (fardibss) A Head Full Of Dreams

  83. B.... S....

    Although this is an hour loop, I still smashed the replay button...

  84. T.... A....

    A great contender for one of the worst Coldplay songs of all time. This doesn't use a single real instrument, Chris's voice is overly produced, the lyrics have little emotional connection, this song just sucks. I can't stand it at all.

    T.... A....

    it might not be your cup of tea, but that doesn't mean its sucks. in all fairness, this song was made in 10 minjtes. chris asked a mate he who works with them if he had any beats. there u have it.

    T.... A....

    @George Waweru If it's made in ten minutes, why put it on the album?

    T.... A....

    @Toshi Ahsan well, he liked I suppose. Its only a hidden track. Plays after another song, I forget the title, but it ties in with it.

    T.... A....

    George williams The title of the song attached to it is Army Of One, sorry If this I'd late.

  85. D.... A....

    I've been a CP fan since parachutes. ....but this heeere. .....

    D.... A....

    Danea Andrews seems like the older generation is a little salty....I love all their albums since parachute also, but if you really are their fan you should be more open to their new songs

    D.... A....

    My fav is Politik and I love this. So much better than true love and a sky full of stars type of shit.

  86. D.... A....

    i'm sooo lovin this

  87. M.... H....

    this hour long loop is a godsend. i seriously have not taken this off of repeat since i woke up this morning. there are very few songs on this earth that make me as happy as this one does :) thank you for this

  88. k.... ....

    My favorite song on the album actually I like all of them but this song is just a different type of Coldplay and I love it

    k.... ....

    It isn't Coldplay at all. They pulled off a style that isn't even there own perfectly, that's why its so amazing.

  89. W.... K....

    If I hate this song, then this the my favorite guilty pleasure.

  90. K.... M....

    Song is so dope!

  91. C.... R....

    I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!! Thanks for making an hour version!!

  92. T.... ....

    This song fucking sucks, it's absolutely horrible, it doesn't deserve to be part of the track Army Of One it's so fucking boring. It doesn't even use legit instruments, just synthesisers and computer-generated sounds.

    EDIT: Never mind I like this song now

    T.... ....

    Chris Martin said in an interview that he made the song in 10 minutes. He went upstairs for a drink and the melody came up to him, he asked the producer Daniel Green if he had any a drumbeat and they made it in only 10 minutes. That's actually impressive.

    T.... ....

    @Wilbert Cubero That is very impressive. But it shows why the song is so boring lol.

    T.... ....

    lol 'screamo'. That saying just tells me you have no clue how creative death metal can be

    T.... ....

    Wilbert Cubero Yeah its such a calming song aswell i think thats what they went for aswell

    T.... ....

    Yep I like this song quite a lot now lmao

  93. S.... C....

    i love this song im coldplayer

  94. G.... 1....

    I looooove this song, BTW I tried to upload Army of one but it was deleted because of the copyrights...

  95. A.... R....

    this shits gonna be famous, guarantee it.

    A.... R....

    Only if it gets remixed by some famous DJ, i doubt someone pays attention to a hidden track, see how almost anybody knows Chinese Sleep Chant, The Escapist, Life is for Living and Reign of Love's existence. Sounds like a good song to take samples off and mix.

  96. G.... ....

    did coldplay really make witch house

    i like it

    G.... ....

    Yeah this is pop. If you need to put it into a sup genre on it, your the fool..

    G.... ....

    +Peter Brett this isn't pop, this is some strange fusion of trap and witch house (which, by the way, isn't house). look it up, dumbass

    G.... ....

    @Gabie Wow you really hurt my brain. Look genius. Im talking from a normal consumer perspective. Preferably one of a good coldplay  fan. Do you honestly think they'll hear this an go. " oh yeah defo witch trap" erm no exactly. 

    G.... ....

    You're a lost cause, goodbye

    G.... ....

    Im glad @Gabie
