I love this song, musically as well as the lyrics I think its awsome. My english project was to find a song which related to Hamlet and compare its meaning to the emotions of Ophelia. Pretty cool I know lol. Anyway, I figure this song works as much as any. I love it, for such clear writing it has a pretty universal meaning, like, stop the violence, forgive and live well, just because the whole world or maybe just your world is doing it doesn't mean its the only way. Anyways, love the song. Love Coldplay!
