Question: You know the song 'Viva la Vida', right!?
Ok so it's a great song and everything, but what is it really about!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
I really like this song!.
Coldplay seems to be throwing in a ton of Religious and Christian references into there newer songs!.
"Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever wanna be king!?"
-This could be a reference to John the Baptist of the New Testament!.
In The Book of Mark, John is noted as the one that comes before Jesus to announce His coming to Earth!. A lot of people thought he (John) was going to be their Messiah, however he corrected them and told them that it was the One after him that would fill that role!. I, also, argue that point because it is said somewhere that John's head was brought to king Herod on a Silver Platter!.
also, while on this subject - at the beginning:
"I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep [sleep!?] alone
Sweep the streets I used to own"
-The speaker used to be a king, now he is not!.!.!. and has turned over kingship!. Potential reference of someone giving God kingship over his life!.
"Never an honest word"
-I heard "work" instead of "word!."
"I know Saint Peter won't call my name"
-The speaker has doubts about going to heaven after he dies!?!?!? Maybe, he may just believe that good, "honest" works won't get him in to heaven!.
That is it for now!.
This is only my opinion, and would like to see if anyone agrees with me!.

Great song! I think it might be about a revolutionary leader like Castro!. Someone who thought he was doing the right thing to "free" his people and then became just as bad as his predecessors!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I agree with Couch spud!.!.!.I think it has the same meaning as Flobots' "Handlebars"!. The elections are coming up, and we have all these songs about people using their power for the wrong reasons!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
