I'm not sure what Coldplay's intentions were when they wrote this song, as far as the message they were conveying, but I do know a beautifully written song when I hear one. The way he describes one in power crashing down from his throne is enough to give me chills. Yeah, sure, you can apply it to anyone if you are looking at it from a metaphorical stand-point. But I am simply taking it as I hear it: Someone in a position of power being consumed by it and then being knocked down from that position. The pictures he paints with his words and his voice are breath-taking.
