Reviews for The Scientist Lyrics

".. i love you, and i want you to be happy
even if it's not with me"

You see, this is what its all about, and this is exactly what can be the most painful thing ever. When the person you love has left your world... It's not because you aren't necessarily with them; It is because they were such a part of your life, such an electric power, that without them there are so many questions. I feel, with what was said, that this is the true meaning of how it should be. I once told the person I will always love, that when she was to get married, that I would be there. I want to see her happy, even if it means that I will never find someone like her again that makes me feel the way I do. It's been years, and not a phase or fling. When you truly love someone, you will never, ever let them go. They will always be on your mind, every day, even if you haven't talked in a very long time. It's the most beautiful thing, and yet the most devastating thing at the same time. I feel lost, confused, and I have tried to date, but have never came close to the same feeling I have had.

I've never been in love, although i have loved someone, so all i know about love is how bad it hurts when they don't love you back. . . Einstein said love is impossible to explain in terms of chemistry and physics. . . although i have never been loved i know this is true. . . .

even if this song had no words, it would still be one of the most powerful love songs i've ever heard. what makes a love song a love song isn't what it says, or what it's called, or how it's conveyed. it's how it makes you feel.
i must've listened to this song a million times last night. i'm not heartbroken, but i'm painfully in love with someone who is extremely far away. so even though we're together over any distance, this song still helps sometimes. and i hope to god that we'll be two of the lucky ones. the ones who never break each other's hearts.

so it's hard, but then again, "nobody said it was easy."

I must agree somewhat with each of you...this is definitely a case where wrong decisions regarding love were made, or worse yet, none at all. I believe the author penned this song after countless sleepless nights of reliving the pain as a result of the choices he made...if only we could use a crystal ball in matters of love...whether its karma or pay back, it's still a !@#$% Life's lessons learned hard :(

I don't know about all of you, but for me, I was listening again and again to the Scientist and the best idea I can get for the meaning of the lyrics really is that it's a situation where you love someone but you can't tell the person til it's way too late - either because of your own pride, or circumstance.

The situation is made worse where both parties feel much but say little. One of the parties then "goes away", whether by death or by other circumstance, and the song is where the one who remains is left figuring out the puzzles left behind, and wishing again he/she had said more.

That's just my take.

. . . I love so much this song. . . my lost love let me love Coldplay, I used to know them but I never appreciated them until he came. . . And now I always listen to their songs, but both the memories and the lyrics hurt me so much. . . But I can't stop listen to them, I feel that they are the only thing left that bound me to him. . . And this song, the music, the words. . . Perfect. . .
Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
. . . I miss you. . . :(

i love the line "questio9ns of science. science and progress do not speak as loud as my heart". The song is summed up for me there, no matter how many times we try to question of find logical reasonings for love and its effect... we can't.
The way people act in love just proves that cupid was blind.

i was recently in a relationship by the means of this song. i broke it of with her because i needed time and space to sort things out with i fighting neighbour. i then wanted to get back together but she took it the wrong way! i want to go back to the start.

i believe this sone is about two people in love, they split ways, he screws her over and comes up to meet her. he never appreciated her and now wants to go back to the start, she doesnt know how lovely she is...he tries to pull the puzzle apart of the love and realizes that its not easy.nobody said it was easy, but he loves her and its worth it.no more "chasing tales" like he says..the song is about heartbreak and its about rebuilding.

I actually came on here to read the hardest part lyrics. About a month and a bit, my heart moved away. We have already been broken up for a few months but I went to see him on his last night...we ended up telling each other we still cared n he even wished we could go on our journeys together. I felt like finally we were getting our chance to make it... I told him he had my heart n he told me I'd always be his baby. It had been not even 3 weeks since he'd been gone n he told me in a casual manner he is seeing some chick. I told him exactly how he'd hurt me instead of covering up and pretending it was allllll goooood. I gave him my heart and he threw it back at me. I don't know why I want to go back to the start...maybe so I could stop myself before going ahead. Change directions or something. When u love someone and it goes to waste....could it be worse? I think that fix u has more appropriate tones for me at the moment, but I am trying to find my heart again...cos these days I feel a little dead inside. anyway thanks for listening. God bless all of u on your journey of love...we all deserve it and eventually we will all find one that makes our painful experiences pale into oblivion.
