"O" karya Coldplay mengisahkan tentang kerinduan terhadap kebebasan dan transendensi. Lagu ini menggunakan metafora burung untuk mewakili aspirasi tersebut. Pembicara yang kagum dan terinspirasi oleh burung, yang terbang dengan bebas dan tanpa hambatan, mendambakan untuk mengalami kebebasan yang sama.
O Lyrics
Coldplay
Flock of birds
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
It's how you think of love
And I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly always
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
They fly on
Flock of birds
Hovering above
Into smoke I'm turned
And rise following them up
Still I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly away
One minute they arrive,
Next you know they're gone
They fly on
Fly on
[2x]
So fly on
Ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
[3x]
Fly on
O
Don't ever let go
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
It's how you think of love
And I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly always
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
They fly on
Flock of birds
Hovering above
Into smoke I'm turned
And rise following them up
Still I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
'Cause they fly away
One minute they arrive,
Next you know they're gone
They fly on
Fly on
[2x]
So fly on
Ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
[3x]
Fly on
O
Don't ever let go
