Question: Viva la vida-cold play!?
does anyone know the meaning of the songWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1ST VERSE
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 enemies' eyes
Listened 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
The first verse is talking about a decline from wealth and fame to a nobody


The first verse is talking about a decline from wealth and fame to a nobody!.

2ND VERSE
It was a 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!?


In the second verse, his mindset seems to have changed and he's accepted his lower status and now is questioning, "who would ever wanna be king!?" Well, he used to be the King and now that he sees what it looks like from an outsider's perspective, he realizes that he's glad to have left it behind!.
