About Speed of Sound
"Speed of Sound" is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their 2005 third studio album X&Y. Constructed around a piano and guitar riff, the song builds into a huge, synthesiser-heavy chorus. It was released by Parlophone Records as the lead single from the album. "Speed of Sound" made its radio premiere on BBC Radio 1 with Lamacq on 19 April, then was serviced to US radio on 18 April 2005. The song was released physically in Japan on 11 May with two B-sides: "Things I Don't Understand" and "Proof". .
Speed of Sound Lyrics
[00:17.84] How long before I get in?
[00:21.73] Before it starts, before I begin
[00:25.48] How long before you decide?
[00:28.58] Before I know what it feels like
[00:33.41] Where to, where do I go?
[00:36.44] If you never try, then you'll never know
[00:41.01] How long do I have to climb
[00:45.58] Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
[01:04.26] Look up, I look up at night
[01:07.78] Planets are moving at the speed of light
[01:12.18] Climb up, up in the trees
[01:15.33] Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
[01:19.90] How long am I gonna stand
[01:23.54] With my head stuck under the sand?
[01:27.40] I'll start before I can stop
[01:30.52] Or before I see things the right way up
[01:36.73] All that noise, and all that sound
[01:44.44] All those places I got found
[01:51.24] And birds go flying at the speed of sound
[01:55.42] To show you how it all began
[02:00.06] Birds came flying from the underground
[02:02.89] If you could see it then you'd understand
[02:16.97] Ideas that you'll never find
[02:19.79] All the inventors could never design
[02:27.28] The buildings that you put up
[02:28.66] Japan and China, all lit up
[02:32.18] The sign that I couldn't read
[02:36.74] Or a light that I couldn't see
[02:39.53] Some things you have to believe
[02:43.32] But others are puzzles, puzzling me
[02:48.89] All that noise, and all that sound
[02:57.37] All those places I got found
[03:03.44] And birds go flying at the speed of sound
[03:07.37] To show you how it all began
[03:11.25] Birds came flying from the underground
[03:14.74] If you could see it then you'd understand
[03:18.81] Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
[03:33.86] All those signs, I knew what they meant
[03:37.61] Some things you can't invent
[03:41.47] Some get made, and some get sent
[03:45.83] Ooh-ooh
[03:48.38] Birds go flying at the speed of sound
[03:52.31] To show you how it all began
[03:55.85] Birds came flying from the underground
[03:59.72] If you could see it then you'd understand
[04:03.61] Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
[04:12.96]
