Makna Dibalik Hits Coldplay - Viva La Vida


All about Music - Lagu ini sebenarnya berkisah mengenai bagaimana kekuasaan/politik itu berjalan. Coldplay menggambarkannya melalui model sejarah Perang Salib, sebuah perang yang terkenal cukup panjang dalam sejarah umat manusia. Bagaimana penakluk dunia yang adil mendapatkan kekuasaannya dari penguasa sebelumnya, menjadi penguasa yang hebat, didukung dan disambut bak penguasa dunia, semua pujian mengalir bagaikan ombak mengakibatkan menjadi penguasa yang Zalim, hingga waktunya muncul pemberontakan yang menginginkan Revolusi menyeluruh, disaat itu semua kekuatan, dukungan, kekuasaan dan wibawa lenyap begitu saja meninggalkan sang penguasa. Muncullah penguasa yang baru hasil penaklukan penguasa sebelumnya. Dan menyimpulkan bahwa "sejarah selalu berputar dan terulang, bukan berjalan maju kedepan". Masih percaya dengan politik?

Coldplay - Viva La Vida

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

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!"

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

I hear Jerusalem bells are 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're gone there was never
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

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

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are 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
Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh
Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh,
Woahahahah

I hear Jerusalem bells are 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

ooooooh ooh oooooh oh ooooooh oh oooooh ooh.
