“Liberty Leading the People”

"She went through a lot of pain, of course, and then she started a big painting in her house that said 'Viva la Vida', I just loved the boldness of it."

CHRIS MARTIN

MEANING BEHIND THE SONG

Coldplay’s song “Viva La Vida” is an interpretation of King Louis’s lost last speech before his death. The song is written through King Louis point of view, as he apologizes to his people, accepting his fate.

CHORUS 2

The song demands sympathy

TO CONCLUDE

for the overthrown king.

Coldplay depicts the King’s final speech as not a plea for help, but an admittance of regret.

A man who once promised so much more but delivered none

is what Coldplay tries to show.

THANK YOU!

VIVA LA VIDA!
