Coldplay and God
Most of you know that I was at a Coldplay concert at this very time one week ago. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. In case, for some freakish reason you missed my 80 blogs or tweets about it, you can catch up on some vids and pics here.
Anyways, I have been listening to Coldplay like crazy and part of what spurred my 3-day silence was the song Warning Sign from A Rush of Blood to the Head. Read these lyrics:
A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.
Come on in,
I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in,
I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.
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…
Sometimes I start looking and miss the good part. God is everything in my life. My life is only fully present when I am intimately close to God, but sometimes I start looking around for fulfillment elsewhere and the bubble bursts.
I missed all the warning signs. Well, I didn’t really miss them, I just made excuses and acted like they were not there. Then I start to see what state I’m in, and I have to yell out the realization of the truth: I miss Him. Then I crawl back into His open arms….
Are there warning signs in your life?
