- Spies Lyrics

I awake to find, no peace of mind
I said, how do you live as a fugitive?
Down here, where I cannot see so clear
I said what do I know?
Show me the right way to go

And the spies came out of the water
But you're feelin' so bad 'cos you know
And the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them, no
'Cos they're all spies, they're all spies

I awake to see, that no one is free
We're all fugitives, look at the way we live
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear, no
I said, which way do I turn?
Oh, I forget everything I learn

And the spies came out of the water
But you're feelin' so bad 'cos you know
And the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them, no
'Cos they're all spies, they're all spies

And if we don't hide here, they're gonna find us
And if we don't hide now
They're gonna catch us when we sleep
And if we don't hide here, they're gonna find us

The spies came out of the water
But you're feelin' so good 'cos you know
That those spies, hide out in every corner
They can't touch you, no
'Cos they're just spies, they're just spies

They're just spies
They're just spies
They're just spies

What is the meaning behind Spies lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, Coldplay's 'Spies' touches upon the idea of total surveillance and control, which is illustrated by the presence of spies everywhere. The song reflects on the absence of liberty and the anxiety of being caught or revealed, thus depicting a prevailing sense of paranoia and vulnerability among the people. The lyrics of the song 'Spies' place great importance on the themes of social commentary, angst, despair, reflection and solitude. Not to mention, it keeps provoking the aforementioned themes of fear and paranoia, surveillance and control and search for direction. The fear and surveillance that the lyrics are portraying might not be very appropriate for the very young. There is no bad language or graphic content, however, the whole idea of being watched and the image of fugitives might still require an adult to be present when children are listening.
