Readers' 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 8


"I drew a line

I drew a line for you

Oh what a thing to do

And it was all yellow"

--Coldplay's 'Yellow'

Oh, what a thing to do, indeed. How charming, Chris Martin. No wonder you wooed Gwyneth Paltrow; how could anyone resist a yellow line?
--Caitlin, Washington, D.C.

Chris Martin himself even says he has no idea what the lyrics mean. That's the brilliance of it.

This one is funny, most "yellow" references in the song make sense, but this one never made, atleast to me.

Chris Martin has said himself that he doesn't know what the song is about. So I'm fairly sure that the lines wouldn't make sense...

you guys take this way to literally. good lyrics take time to understand and figure out.
and they can mean different things for different people.

if you honestly think that this song is about the color yellow, then im sorry for you..

this is a great song.

This song is actually about his MOTHER, who had jaundice - Jaundice turned her yellow.
