Coldplay - White Shadows Song MeaningsLyrics:When I was a young boy I tried to listen And I wanna feel like that Little white shadows, blink and miss them Part of a system I am <... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2006-02-25 15:17:10 Rating:   Finding comfort with the meaning of life using metaphysical or spiritual explanations.
Submitted by: anonymous This song is about the entire universe. Just the wonder of it all. "Swimming on a sea of faces," probably refers to all of the people you see in the world. The refrain probably is talking about how you need to find things on your own terms. This is a great song, with good lyrics
Submitted by: anonymous Just a thought to the actual meaning of the song, I believe the white shadows have something to do with the good intentions of people. Most of you will admit that we people have mainly carnal desires we are selfish. And when we do something good it casts a white shadow that people can see. "feel like somethings missing" could be alluding to the enjoyment you get when you do something good. "maybe youll get what you wanted" reinforces that you are selfish. All this noise I'm waking up could refer to all the problems in the world that singer is just now starting to see. All that space I'm taking up, is the singer realizing how much he could be doing but is not. The system is that of our desires our selfish desires that keep bringing us away from the good will we want to do for others. But what is the answer the singer is seeking near the end of the song?
Submitted by: anonymous I feel this song means that no matter what you do it`ll all work out ok. That you are just following the path that you were meant to follow in this crazy life you lead. It had to happen and now it is over, whether it was your fault or someone elses, we all make mistakes and in the end it won`t really matter. It`s over and it will be ok.
Submitted by: anonymous I feel this song is about a search for meaning/fulfillment and belonging to something that is bigger than ourselves.
Submitted by: anonymous Ummm, actually people, "White Shadows" is about Coldplay's position in the American spotlight.
Submitted by: anonymous This song is a tribute to Gwyneth Paltrow's father, Bruce Paltrow, the famous Hollywood producer. Among the many shows to his credit was the '70s comedy-drama, The White Shadow, which was about a white high school basketball coach with a team full of black players. Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin is married to Gwyneth Paltrow; Bruce Paltrow died in 2002. (thanks, Raj - Atlanta, GA)
