I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own 我曾经统治世界 我一开口,大海就为我升起 现在,在今天上午,我独自睡眠 打扫街道,我自己
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: “Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!” 我从前滚动骰子 在我的敌人的眼睛中十分恐惧 听到的人群会唱: “现在老国王死了!万岁国王” !
One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 一分钟我曾掌管关键 下一秒墙壁对我封闭 我发现我的城堡矗立在 沙子和盐粒的支柱上
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain Once you go there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh) 我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起 罗马骑兵合唱团在歌唱 成为我的镜子,我的剑和盾牌 我的传教士在国外 出于某种原因我无法解释 当你在那里没有一个诚实的字 这就是我统治世界的时候了 ( ohhh )
It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn’t believe what I’d become 这是邪恶的而狂野的风 吹落大门,让我进去 打破了窗户和鼓声 人们不能相信我将成为什么
Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? 革命家等待 将我的头颅放在银碟上 只是一个提线木偶 哦谁任何时候都希望成为国王?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain I know Saint Peter won’t call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) 我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起 罗马骑兵合唱团在歌唱 成为我的镜子,我的剑和盾牌 我的传教士在国外 出于某种原因我无法解释 我知道圣彼得不会呼唤我的名字 当你在那里没有一个诚实的字 这就是我统治世界的时候了 ( ohhhhh ohhh ohhh )

song meanings
First of all, this is a fantastic piece. Awesome strings, and, as usual, drop-dead vocals by Chris Martin. I think i can agree with FoundGiven the most. I've studied King Louis and have found it doesn't relate to him as much as people think. I think the only way in which Coldplay is going for the French history is in the new album cover. I believe this song has to do more with faith and a non-specific being's fall from dominance. the "pillars of salt, pillars of sand" refer to the fragility of a man's kingdom. He was once loved and respected and powerful, but the tables turned on him quickly, his kingdom falling. The lyrics leave it up to us to consider how exactly this happened. This man believing that "Saint Peter won't call my name" covers the religious side of the lyrics. Saint Peter not calling his name suggests that he thinks he won't go to Heaven. He appears to be taken over by the peoples' cruelty in turning on him, making him out to be a "sinful" person. Whatever your interpretation is, just remember to try not to get too caught up in analyzing it. You can get lost in the powerfulness of the music itself.
i agree your opinion and i see that you study inside the songs for the meaning of the words that become poetry in their lyrics....all this is very good.......compliments :) my name is filippo...by
