Coldplay: Princess of China Meaning


Princess of China Lyrics

Ooooh Oooh Ooooh

Chris
Once upon a time somebody ran, somebody ran away saying fast as I can
I've got to go, I've got to go
Once upon a time, we fell apart
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart, oh oh oh

Ooooh Oooh...

    This song is deliberately vague and misleading with details, yet simple and straightforward because it's really about acknowledging mutual pain and hurt caused from a fated relationship that was never built to last.

    When I think of communism, I think of Russia. Perhaps they were on the same side fighting against Russia but didn't realize they both were on the same side. It became a confusing mess with a considerable amount of precieved betrayal that ultimately only served to hurt eachother. The summer finally came and when they thought they had defeated Russia, they found they had just entered a different region with different Russians. The moral of the story is that Russians are horrible people who invade your space and are arrogant duds who only want to dominate and rule, obviously. That has been my experience, anyway.

    It's about a princess and her lover fighting and eventually breaking up. I think that "Princess of China" doesn't really refer to the country; rather the fact that their love/the girl was fragile. You know, like a china doll.

    China is communist isn't it? Well I think it's about a king and his daughter fighting... "on the same side" "same game" "all we ever seemed to do was fight". The king kicked her out because maybe the daughter fought about the government and didn't like communism. So the king kicked her out and dethroned her sort of and disowned her. "you let me go" both the king and his daughter are hurt. Gee I don't know. I'm a 9th grader haha

    Its about a love that's falling apart and thoughts of how they could've had it all. Both of them feel hurt in the end.

    AND RING..... THE KINGDOM AS HER FATHER DID... HE WAS MORE LIKE A WARRIOR THEY FOUGHT ALL AND ON...fought on the same. Side 4 The kingdom She truly love him she found him honorable...2 ring he left her for someone and something else she did not feel worthy to be the kings daughters


    Could have been the princesS he could have been king
    .. you really hurt me
    Means He Really let her down

    And the kingdom That they fight. On and on for she was losing

    From the past into the future The world kingdom

    When he realized what he had lost he turned around trying to find her in this kingdom

    She burned everything up he's turning time back trying to
    Stop her from leaving him video
    She is crying She is reaching the waterfall he is running to catch her
    ..
    sorrow is consuming her.... you really hurt me because the kingdom is gone. He was her chosen 1
