Als ich mir letzten Donnerstag im Media Markt in Landau die neue Coldplay-Platte zulegte, stach ein Lied schon beim ersten Hören heraus. "What If". Ohne zunächst mal auf den Text zu achten, kristallisierte es sich direkt heraus, und verzauberte meine Ohren.
Allerdings: Nach Freitag weiß ich nun auch, dass er textlich zu mir und meiner Situation passt. Schade...

What if there was no light?
Nothing wrong, nothing right.
What if there was no time?
And no reason or rhyme.
What if you should decide, that you don't want me there by your side.
That you don't want me there in your life.

What if I got it wrong, and no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide that you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life.

Oooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try
Oooh, that's right

Every step that you take could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side.

Oooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that's right
How can you know it when you don't even try
Oooh, that's right

Ohhhhh

Oooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Oooh, that's right

Dennoch kann ich nicht aufhören, das Lied zu mögen, auch wenn ich damit immer die Situation assoziiere, in welcher mein Herz zerstört wurde...
