JUPiTER Lyrics – Coldplay

[Verse 1]
In this section, the singer personifies Jupiter as someone who feels constrained and unable to be her true self. The metaphor of a planet symbolizes her distance from the freedom of self-expression, while the colors that only she can see represent her unique perspective. The lines express a deep-seated sense of inadequacy, as she wonders what is inherently wrong with her for feeling different.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer questions her identity and mental state, feeling isolated in her experiences while others remain oblivious. This reflects the internal struggle of feeling out of place and the confusion that often accompanies self-exploration. Despite these doubts, she continues to seek her path, symbolized by following the river, which leads her to a place of hope.

[Chorus]
The chorus presents a powerful declaration of love and acceptance. The repeated affirmation of loving who she loves highlights the theme of embracing one's feelings, regardless of external pressures. The phrase "message from above" suggests a divine or universal affirmation of love's significance, urging listeners to never give up on love.

[Verse 2]
