Coldplay的这首《Warning Sign》是一首充满悔意和渴望挽回情感的歌曲。歌词中充满了对过去的反思和对未来的不确定。
“A warning sign”
歌曲开篇便以“一个预兆”引出，暗示了主人公对某段关系或某个时刻的警觉。
“I missed the good part”
主人公承认自己错过了美好的时光，表达了遗憾之情。
“Then I realised I started looking And the bubble burst”
随着故事的发展，主人公逐渐意识到自己的失误，并且这种认识如同泡沫破裂般突然且真实。
“I started looking for excuses Come on in I’ve gotta tell you What I state I’m in I’ve gotta tell you In my loudest tones That I started looking For a warning sign”
主人公开始为自己找借口，试图解释自己的行为，并且以最响亮的声音表达自己的悔意，表明他已经开始寻找那个曾经被忽略的预兆。
“When the truth is I miss you Yeah the truth is That I miss you so”
然而，最终他意识到真正的原因是他想念对方，这是他内心深处最真实的感受。
“You came back to haunt me And I realised That you were an island And I passed you by You were an island to discover”
进一步描述了对方在他心中的地位，就像一座孤岛一样独特，但遗憾的是，当时他并没有珍惜这段关系，而是选择错过。
“And I’m tired I should not have let you go So I crawl back into your open arms Yes I crawl back into your open arms And I crawl back into your open arms Yes I crawl back into your open arms”
结尾部分则表达了主人公内心的疲惫感以及强烈的愿望，希望能够回到对方的怀抱中，重新找回那段失去的情感。
