Coldplay: In My Place Meaning

Song Released: 2002



In My Place Lyrics

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah
And yeah
How long must you wait for it?
Yeah
How long must you pay for...

    A man in his relationship commits an unacceptable act which he cannot turn his back because of the liabilities and lost the control over the situation. He was feeling guilty and sorry cause she was paying for what he did and asking her how long she could sacrifice for him. And the time comes that she could no longer do anything about it and surrender but he love her so that he wanted her back so badly, begging her to come back and he's willing to wait for her after she clears her thought.

    The song is about a lost love. An impossible love which he waits for..."how long must you wait for it?"

    He falls in love with the wrong girl and is "lost and underprepared". He gave everything to her and she basically destroyed him. It's a song of hurt and loss.
