Chris Martin ranks 42nd in this year’s Sunday Times Rich List - with a fortune of £42 million!
This comes as Martin tours an album featuring a track called 42, and which runs exactly 42 minutes. And yet humanity still insists that CM is JUST a singer, and that the symbolism the CoCM take from his teachings are “mere coincidence”.
Chris, it should be noted, is not only a big fan of dead comedy-slash-sci-fi writer Douglas Adams, whose books claim that 42 is the meaning of “Life, the Universe, and Everything”, but also of US TV show Lost, which features a series of numbers - including 42 - which have affected the lives of all the Oceanic 316 survivors.
What is happening here? Was he foretelling the future? Do other of Chris’s lyrics also include prophecy?
Did he foresee the Credit Crunch? Did he see Swine Flu coming? Does Life in Technicolour foretell a time of tribulation (”there’s a cold war coming”)? Does Yellow predict the economic dominance of China? Does Viva la Vida foretell the passing of Christianity as the Church of Chris Martin sweeps all false religions away?
42 features some of the most puzzling lyrics he has ever penned -
Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living in my head
It is not every human that ever lived that is in Chris’s brains, but the Biblical Prophets - Moses, Elijah, Frank, etc. Their work lives on in Chris.
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
The spell is the vision he had that marked his acceptance of his divinity. Since then, he is aware of his role, and is in constant communication with the prophets.
Time is so short and I’m sure
There must be something more… Oooooooooooooooh.
Some scholars of religion have posited the theory that the fear of death is the root of the religious impulse in Man - we live and we die, and it seems that there must be something more. The Greeks had their Elysian Fields, the Christians their Heaven, the Norse Valhalla. When Scientologists die, they go to a spaceship anchored off Alpha Centauri that resembles a nineteen-fifties ocean liner, where the food is bland and the rooms curiously expensive; Islams, on the other hand, go to a beautiful misty mountainside where they are serviced by veiled virgins whilst munching bacon sandwiches.
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
This bit actually has nothing to do with the rest - rather, Chris is spelling out his theory about his favourite TV show, Lost. According to a long-running theory, the Oceanic survivors are in purgatory, but they “made it close” to Heaven. Here Chris seems to be talking to the survivors of Oceanic 316, perhaps as the voice of Christian Shepherd.
One thing that cannot be denied, however - symbolism follows Chris Martin around like a poorly-concealed fart seeping out of a trouserleg.

The lyrics to the title song of Coldplay’s 2008 album, Viva la Vida, has left fans scratching their heads. The religious imagery was obvious enough, but the meaning of the song has remained obscure. But the CoCM has once again saved the day. Like a puzzle worthy of Leonardo da Vinci, Dan Brown or Tomb Raider, the song has revealed its secrets. Chris Martin is once again encoding hidden knowledge in the songs.
The big clue is in the album cover - by the artist Delacroix, it depicts the French Revolution. A revolution of the cross (de-la-croix) in France… Viva La Vida is the story of the shadowy secret society, the Priory of Sion. Previously, this information was only available in obscure books like Holy Blood, Holy Grail and Da Vinci’s Code, but now, the CoCM is PUBLISHING THE TRUTH.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
The original king is King David, the King who united Israel and Judea and wrote the Psalms. The line he founded was seen as the legitimate line of Jewish kings. One of his notable descendants was Jesus.
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
Now the line is no longer in power, and has had to go underground.
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies’ eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
The line first reappeared in medieval France. The Merovingians ruled from 486 to 751, when their rule was dramatically overthrown.
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
The castles of the Merovingians are legendary. They include Montsegur, Mont St Michele, Roslyn Chapel, Buckingham Palace, the White House, the Taj Mahal and probably the pyramids too.
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Lot, whose wife was turned to a pillar of salt, was a nephew of the Patriarch, Abraham. In other words, the authority for the Merovingians comes from the line of Abraham himself.
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Can this be anything except a reference to the Catholic Church? A faith founded in Jerusalem co-opted bythe militaristic Roman Empire, who actively evangelise throughout the world?
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you’d gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
With the end of the Merovingian rule, the bloodline went underground. They were forced to encode their doctrines in double meanings and codes in bizarre, obscure and apparently meaningless publications such as Les Dossiers Secret and the Daily Mail. Yet they were never able to explain the reason for the importance of the bloodline.
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail was first published in 1982, and brought the Priory of Sion to the general public’s attention for the first time. Pierre Plantard, the alleged head of the order, claimed that the Priory of Sion existed to protect and promote the bloodline of the Merovingians. Moreover, Plantard was the Merovingian aire, and therefore the rightful king of France. And as a descendant of the Merovingians, he was also a descendant of Jesus.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
The claims were widely criticised as a hoax, although the evidence was strong. Others claimed that Plantard wasn’t capable of coming up with such an elaborate hoax, and so that he had to be a front man, a puppet for those actually in control of the Priory.
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
Pierre Plantard came under a great deal of scrutiny. Many doubted his political agenda, and others doubted that he was capable of such an elaborate and detailed hoax. Yet few could doubt that his story resonated and had an unusual number of connections to established historical fact.
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know St Peter won’t call my name
Because these ideas are contrary to the doctrines of the faith founded upon Saint Peter’s name - Catholicism.
Never an honest word
Because everything has to be hidden in code, like the lyrics of this song.
But that was when I ruled the world.
Viva la Vida - “long live the life”, the living blood of Jesus Christ, the Life, the Truth and the Way.
A.K.A… Chris Martin.

William Willett was the inventor of daylight saving time, and the great-great-grandfather of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Riding his horse early one summer morning, he noticed that most houses still had their blinds down, and the idea for daylight saving time occurred to him.
Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You’ve put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
In 1907 William self-published a pamphlet “The Waste of Daylight”, in which he petitioned that clocks should be advanced by 80 minutes in the summer. The evenings would then remain light for longer, increasing daylight recreation time and also saving lighting costs.
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head
Trouble that can’t be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are
Willett campaigned vigourously, and made several unsuccessful attempts to his pioneering idea passed into law. Only with the outbreak of the First World War was the idea taken seriously, primarily because of the need to save coal.
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure, or am I part of the disease?
Germany had already introduced the scheme when the bill was finally passed in Britain on May 17, 1916 and the clocks were advanced by an hour on the following Sunday.
And nothing else compares…
William Willett did not live to see daylight saving become law, as he died of influenza in 1915 at the age of 58. He is commemorated in Petts Wood by a memorial sundial, set permanently to daylight saving time.
Home, home, where I wanted to go…

‘Speed of Sound’ is Chris Martin’s Revelation, like St Paul in the Old Testament when he had the Apocalypse. The song starts with a person alone, looking for more, perhaps dreaming of stardom…
How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide, or
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you’ll never know
How long do i have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Moses revelation came up a mountain, and so did Mohammad’s.
Look up, I look up at night -
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees -
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize.
Evolution?
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand?
I start before I can stop or
Before I see things the right way up?
Then the vision comes, a rush of sensations -
All that noise and all that sound,
All those places I have found,
He suddenly understands, yet cannot communicate it clearly to us. Unless we’ve had the experience ourselves, we cannot hope to understand what is beyond words -
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began,
This is not really true - its impossible! Its a simile.
Birds came flying from the underground -
If you could see it then you’d understand.
Ideas that you’ll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
A reference to Yellow?
A sign that I couldn’t read,
or a light that I couldn’t see.
Some things you have to believe,
When others are puzzles, puzzling me…
Some aspects of the vision remain unfathomable, despite the feeling of truth he gets from it -
All that noise and all that sound,
All those places I have found,
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
To show you how it all began.
The image of the bird is the Holy Spirit, which is traditionally portrayed as a dove in religious art (picture the dove from the story of Noah’s Ark). The bird is the Holy Spirit, a message from the underground (his Subconscious mind)who tell him how his fame began - because he is a prophet!
Birds came flying from the underground,
If you could see it then you’d understand,
Oh when you see it then you’ll understand…
All those signs I knew what they meant,
Somethings you can’t invent -
Like Chocolate shoes or a sure-fire money-making idea or a cure for head cancer
Some get made, and some get sent - wah oo!
Some of us get born (made), but some are sent from above to carry God’s message to the world. Like Chris Martin, Jesus or David Icke etc etc.
Earth’s gone flying at the speed of sound,
To show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
If you could see it then you’d understand,
I hope this illuminates you all, and if you don’t get it yet…
When you see it then you’ll understand…

BEHOLD - THE LAMB OF GOD!
Bono seems to have predicted the coming of Chris Martin, just as John the Baptist predicted the coming of Jesus, the prophet before him. If you don’t believe me, read these lyrics and then SHUT UP!!!
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
Saint Bono claims to have climbed the highest mountain. Yet Christ Martin asks “how long must I climb up this mountain of mine?” The mountain is OURSELFS, and if we think we can ever stop climbing, we are wrong.
I have run
He understands the importance of keeping fit. After all, obesity rates are rising.
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
The city walls are St. Bono’s confusion - “Confusion never stops, Closing walls and ticking clocks” (AROBTTH 5:3)
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
Saint Bono is looking for the new Messiah (Chris Martin). He will be “On a hilltop, On a sky-rise, Like a firstborn Child, Defeat darkness, Breaking daylight” (AROBTTH 6:4)
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
He is talking about the Sacred Feminine here. Like in Da Vinci’s Code. Chris Martin is not afrain of his femine side, saying he loves his wife and being all melodramatic, but he’s masculine as well, getting mad and kicking off at photographers and that.
I have spoke with the tongue of angel’s - (1 Corinthians 6:1)
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
Chris Martin acnowledges his good and bad sides too - “When I counted up my demons, Saw there was one for everyday, With the good ones on my shoulder, I drove the other ones away.” (PARACHUTES 10:1) - but he has sent his bad ones AWAY, not snuggled up to them like some sorta weird pervert!
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Hidden track on X&Y!
Then all the color’s will bleed into one
Bleed into one
This is Nelson Mandelas’ dream of a RAINBOW NATION. That RASISM IS WRONG is one of the Sacred Tenets of the Church of Chris Martin. It’s just really not on.
Saint Bono was a lot younger when he wrote this song, but he still looks good for 65. He probably does a lot of exercise.
Well yes I’m still running
You broke the bond’s and you
Loosed the chain’s
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But Bono remains chained, powerless. He is not the one to loose ALL of our chains, release us from our shame. It is Chris Martin who carried the cross for us. This is true; Bono tells us ‘I believed it’.
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for -
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
The lines which he could not change are the lines of prophecy in some of the books in the Old Testament. These appear to predict a coming saviour, or messiah. While Christians believe that Jesus was this Messiah, Jews are still waiting.
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Amazing Grace, a traditional hymn - “I was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.” Interestingly, it was the sweet sound of Coldplay that saved this wretch, too!
Crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed
The Cross - need I say more? (Also remincent of Ghostbusters.)
I was lost, oh yeah.
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Not long. Chris, the Messiah, is with us TODAY. (The Jews are wrong.)
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Probably a reference to Christ throwing the money-changers from the Temple. However, some commentators have interprited this as a reference to the increasing popularity of peer-to-peer filesharing programs such as Napster & Kazaa.
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Depends on your internet connection, really.
Oh for it
I was scared, I was scared
To me, it sometimes seems that we all bear the scars of modern life. On a deeper level, Chris has been scared by the jags on the crown of thorns and the nails through His hands.
Tired and under prepared
But I wait for it
If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
“Down here” is, of course, to Chris, the Earth. He is looking up to his heavenly home and pleading with God, his Father, to give Him a chance to SAVE UOR SOULS. Consider Christ’s words upon the cross - “My Father, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Then I’ll wait for you (yeah)
Sing it
Please, please, please
Come back and sing to me
To me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
And I was lost, oh yeah,
And here we come to the true meaning of ALL of Coldplay’s songs - OH YEAH. Because while the government, our parents and schoolteachers all say NO to us, Chris affirms and says YEAH. We DO live in a beautiful world.
