Coldplay - Yellow Song MeaningsLyrics:Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song fo... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2005-10-17 05:31:03 Rating:   Reading from other sites, it's about brotherly love, but my interpretation would have to be LOVE. When someone is constantly on your mind and doing anything for them, with the slightest of sugnificance would make you happy. Because it involves the person whom you love and it is happier "yellow" because your doing it for them.
Submitted by: anonymous You're only half way there. It's about an anorexic girl "You're skin, oh yeah you're skin and bones, turning in to something beautiful" and a guy who cuts himself. "I drew a line, I drew a line for you, oh what a thing to do...for you I'd bleed myself dry." Sure it's about love and unconditional and I'd do anything for you all that but what song isn't.
Submitted by: anonymous But stars *aren't* yellow! I think it's more like nonsense words whose rhythm they liked. Sort of like later Paul McCartney lyrics.
Submitted by: anonymous I read that the title yellow came when the singer needed a two-syllabe word, and the first thing he saw was the Yellow Pages. Hence the title.
Submitted by: anonymous It's about the yellow fever in the 1800's in England, where everyone used to turn to skin and bones when they looked at a person with the yellow fever.. This is also related to the chord progressions in this song, where every chord is moving towards a frailer structure, and it seems like the pitch bending contributes to this theory of mine..
Submitted by: tua07665 I'm pretty sure the song is about cocain. They bought a bag of coke and it was all yellow, it was bad stuff. Hence the line "I drew a line, I drew a line for you.".... He drew a line of coke to snort. I heard that this is the real meaning of the song.
Submitted by: anonymous I saw Coldplay on MuchMusic and Chris Martin said that when they were writing the song he used the word of the first thing he saw in the room, which was the yellow pages.
Submitted by: anonymous It's about premature babies.
Submitted by: anonymous Wow some of those were from out in left field! I just love the song and like to think it's just about a girl he loves and would do anything for and that's enough for me.
Submitted by: anonymous Yellow uses words like "stars, how they shine for you." It's the little things in life that people we love never really notice. And everything that they do we love. "You know I love you so." People make great sacrifices for the ones they love "I swam across, I jumped across for you."
Submitted by: anonymous This song is actually about his mother who died from a liver disease. Skin turns yellow when the liver is failing. It is a very sad song to hear knowing the pain he went through watching her die. "I wrote a song, I wrote a song for you and it was called yellow" He says he would bleed himself dry because it is his mother and would do anything to save her. but it didn't work out that way.
Submitted by: mile This response is to the last interprtation about the liver disease, I myself just lost my dad to kidney cancer about two weeks ago, or less and I even though I knew of this song of Coldplay just weeks before my dad passed I started to listen to it closely and liked it more than ever, and then I remembered telling my dad he looked yellow when he was in the hospital. It was after his death that I found true meaning for myself in this song and why I had suddenly become so attached to it, even the video reminds me of my dad, he liked the ocean a lot. So I thought the same thing you thought funny huh.
Submitted by: citywokguy Yeah, this song is cool you guys should listen to System of a Down they are awesome.
Submitted by: anonymous Stars are yellow. Our our star is a "yellow main sequence" star. Most main stars are. Stars can also be red, orange, blue, and brown. Hardly any are white, if that's what you were alluding too.
Submitted by: John_Post Yellow is a song about a fragile, newborn baby who has jaundice, which makes a baby´s skin turn yellow in colour, and a new father falling in love with him/her. The father is finally "taking his turn" to look after the baby after letting his partner do all the work and in the course of doing so is firstly facing up to his responsibilities as a father and hence "drawing a line" under all the things he used to enjoy doing (such as drink/drugs/cigarettes)but can no longer pursue because he has new responsibilities, and secondly falling in love with this beautiful new life.
Submitted by: anonymous What are you all like? You're taking YELLOW as a colour but I reckon it means scared/chicken YELLOW. Now next time you read it or hear it think of the song from the point of view of Jesus saying we are all yellow. HMMM got you thinking!
Submitted by: skoobi686 Well, I personally think Chris Martin is a genius! and yes I am sure he wrote it about a girl! his wife Gwyneth Paltrow! she is blonde, yellow, blonde! see the resemblance?? oh and Paltrow has confessed to admitting yellow to be her favorite colour! Besides, it is sooo romantic to confess your love to a woman, and when he said bleed myself dry, he is reffering to I would die for your acceptance! he loves her and love has an effect on everyone, including pop-stars! This song was Chris Martin and Paltrows, nobody elses! YELLOW BLONDE
Submitted by: anonymous No, it's not about an anorexic person;
Submitted by: anonymous Erm, skoobi686, have you not noticed that yellow was written before he got with gwyneth paltrow? And yellow is not a love song. It was written for his new born/pretty ill god daughter. It is a song of love, but not the romantic love your all thinking of.
Submitted by: 1inuyasha The lead singer wrote this for his girlfriend who is now his wife to show how much she means to him.
