Coldplay - Viva la Vida (Lyrics)

For anyone wondering, this song is an interpretation of King Louis XVI's lost final speech before his death following the French Revolution. It's written in Louis' point of view as he apologizes to his people and accepts his demise. For some background, Louis was imprisoned and publicly executed by his own people following his downfall. When he was marched to the guillotine for execution he attempted to give one last speech to his people before his death, but the French revolutionists booed and the executioners drums were played louder to drown out the sounds of his words. As so, before Louis could finish his speech he was forced into the guillotine and beheaded, his final words now lost forever.

Anybody in 2024??????😢😢

This song takes me waaaay back to simpler times. no stress, no worry, just life.

Coming back after Rosie 😍🥰

2024 anyone???

Who’s watching in 2023???????!❤❤

0:01 when a masterpiece begins

To me this song signifies lost youth when you feel to be at the top of world and when that is gone everything feels so empty

almost 20 years and this song still gives me chills.

2023 anyone???

I used to game a lot back when I was younger, currently 24, but I just listen to this song just remembering how gaming used to be when I was a Kid, no worries, no caring to the world just me and my Playstation 1,2,3 then 4 in my teenage days, but now in college barely having time to play and finding how my younger siblings I used to teach and finding them beating me easily which I'm actually happy that they, is cause I teached them how to play the games, and just know figuring out how my father felt when he was teaching me the games he plays and I see myself beating him and I'm happy, when I was young now I understood the proud feeling he has when he finds me beating the games he teached and beating him in it and yet even when he became older I also take him and encourage him to play the new Story games that gets released even he's not good at them I still encourage him and I feel proud that he beats them, currently watched him beat Mw1+2 Remastereds WW2 and other games that he considers hard, yet I'm here telling him dad, it's okay I brought you here to enjoy your time not to see if a game is hard or not, even if he beats the game in the easiest difficulty I'm still proud that I spent time watching him play the games just how I used to when I was a kid And yes I'm writing this with Tears all falling knowing these memories are good but they will never last forever that's why enjoy your time with the family you love, cause neither you or them are gonna stay there forever

Here because of Rosé

First song I’ve listened to in 2024 no matter how long has passed this song always takes me back to simpler times

The beauty of this song for me is how they captured the sound and vibe of this song with classical sounding instruments. I need more music like this

Playing this during my Graduation ceremony so everytime i hear this, I will remember it

Everyone interact with this comment so I can always come back to this song whenever

who listening in 3076 still? cant belive its been over a thousand years since they dropped this absolute BANGER.

It has been 15 years since this song came out and it stills hits hard ❤

This makes my day better

I can't belive this song comes out when I was 40 y.o . It's hard to realize how fast the time goes by. How many memories since then 😢😢😢
