I love this song...and I love Coldplay. This song has been stuck in my head the past few weeks, and I keep trying to figure out the exact meaning of it. I love songs like this b/c they can mean 50 different things, and the listener can decide for themselves... It makes you think. This is how I view the song "Yellow"...Call me crazy.
"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 for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'"
--> When I listen to these words, I feel like they are straight to sweet Jesus. Almost like a hymn of praise. I look to the night sky a lot when I forget the true meaning of praising God. The stars shine all the time...even during the day. But you can only really see them when it's dark. I feel like this is just like hope. Hope shines brightest in the darkness...
So after this part, I feel like Jesus takes over the song and sings beautiful words that wash over our souls...
"Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know,
You know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all 'Yellow'..."
We are just skin and bones until God awakens our souls... He makes all things new... Then Jesus says, "You know I love you so..." He loves us so much that he "swam across, jumped across for you..." He left heaven to come to earth to save us at just the right time.
"For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry..."
Need I explain?
"It's true, look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do..."
At this point, I feel like this is how I feel after Jesus whispers how much He loves me in my ear... I just can't help but sing, "Look at the stars and how they shine for you and all the things you do..."
