On “JUPiTER”, the fourth track from their tenth studio album, Moon Music, Coldplay delivers an acoustic ballad that explores love, discovery and self-acceptance from the perspective of a girl named Jupiter, which is an obvious reference to both the largest planet in the Solar System and the Roman go...
[Verse 1]
Jupiter, named for a planet, wasn't free to be
To be exactly who she ought to be
She saw in colours others couldn't see
Jupiter, named for a planet, would pretend to be
Somebody way less extraordinary
"Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me"
[Pre-Chorus]
"Am I bad? Am I wrong? Am I weird in the head?
The only one awake, and everyone's in bed"
Still she followed the river where the river led
Right up to heaven where the billboard read
[Chorus]
"I love who I love (I love who I love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
I love who I love," the message from above
Is never give up, love who you love
[Verse 2]
Jupiter longed to be herself or die
"I wanna burst into a butterfly"
[Pre-Chorus]
"Am I bad? Am I wrong? Am I not okay?
Speaking only words that a girl can't say"
Still she followed the rain to where the rainbow lay
All of the angels singing "Come and say"
[Chorus]
"I love who I love (I love who I love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
I love who I love," the message from above
Is never give up, love who you love
[Bridge]
And it's a battle for your song
You had to hide away for so long
When they say, "Yourself is wrong"
(The orchestra of rainbows play)
[Chorus]
I love who I love (I love who I love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
I love who I love, I struggle with this stuff
Now all I wanna say
Is la-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
La-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
La-la-la-la-lay
Oh, I'm okay ('Kay, 'kay, 'kay)
Oh, I'm okay (He-hey, hey)
[Post-Chorus]
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Yam yonke sithandwa sami ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Yam yonke sithandwa sami ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
[Outro]
…who you love (Love, love)
Love (Love) who you love
Love (Love) who you love
(Love, love)
