"Speed of Sound" - Coldplay

Here is a great new song by the band 'Coldplay'. To me the lyrics are deeply thought provoking. What do the lyrics say to you?...

    "How long before I get in
    Before it starts before I begin
    How long before you decide or
    Before I know what it feels like
    Where to, where do i go?
    If you never try then you'll never know
    How long do i have to climb
    Up on the side of this mountain of mine

    Look up, I look up at night
    Planets are moving at the speed of light
    Climb up, up in the trees
    Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
    How long am I gonna stand
    With my head stuck under
    Before I see things the right way up

    All that noise and all that sound
    All those places I have found
    And earth's gone flying at the speed of sound
    To show ya how it all began
    Birds came flyin from the underground
    If you could see it then you'd understand

    Ideas that you'll never find
    All the inventors could never design
    The buildings that you put up
    Japan and China all lit up
    A sign that I couldn't read
    or a light, that I couldn't see
    Some things you have to believe
    When others are puzzles, puzzlin me

    All those signs I knew what they meant
    Somethings you can't invent
    Some get made, and some get sent
    Earth's gone flying at the speed of sound
    To show ya how it all began
    Birds came flyin from the underground
    If you could see it then you'd understand
    Oh when you see it then you'll understand"
