Paradise
A quintessential Coldplay anthem, Paradise takes listeners on an emotional journey through life’s struggles and dreams. The uplifting melody paired with powerful lyrics makes it a song of hope and resilience.
"When she was just a girl, she expected the world/But it flew away from her reach, and the bullets catch in her teeth/Life goes on, it gets so heavy/The wheel breaks the butterfly, every tear a waterfall/In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes/In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly/And dream of para-para-paradise"
This song beautifully conveys that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s hope for a brighter tomorrow—a paradise waiting to be found.
