Meaning

“Hymn for the Weekend” grew out of a desire for Coldplay to have a club song that people could dance to. Usually club music doesn’t have a lot of depth, but Coldplay manages to pull off depth as well as “pop hit” in “Hymn for the Weekend.”

Lyrics

Oh angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up

Life is a drink and love’s a drug
Oh now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river dried up
You came to rain a flood

You said ‘drink from me, drink from me’
When I was so thirsty
Poured on a symphony
Now I just can’t get enough
Put your wings on me, on me
when I was so heavy
poured on a symphony
when I’m low low low low

I oh I oh I
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high so high
Oh I oh I oh I
Now I’m feeling drunk and high
So high so high

Oh angel sent from up above
I feel you coursing through my blood
Life is a drink and your love’s about
To make the stars come out

Put your wings on me, on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
When I’m low low low low

I oh I oh I
You got me feeling drunk and high
So high so high
Oh I oh I oh I
Now I’m feeling drunk and high
So high so high

I oh I oh I
La la la la la la la
So high so high

oh I oh I oh I
Now I’m feeling drunk and high
So high so high
That I shoot across the sky
That I shoot across the
That I shoot across the sky
Watch me shoot across the….
Play with the song, fill the gaps
