%%* "See You Soon" is heartbreaking.
%%* "Death And All His Friends".



* New song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjONy_4Bz08 "Us Against The World"]]. ''Parachutes''-style acoustics + desperate, yet hopeful lyrics + ''beautiful'' vocal harmonies near the end = ManlyTears.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-KsutWy3UU "Moving To Mars"]]. "We won't see the earth again..."
* "Yellow" can range from being a pretty depressing song to the happiest song you've ever heard, depending on who you are and how you interpret it.

* Their tribute to the Music/BeastieBoys. The first time they covered [[Music/LicensedToIll "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party)"]] was a light-hearted get-well-soon tribute, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVr4UP9ntLs when they covered it after Adam "MCA" Yauch's death]], they managed to turn it into a heartbreaking performance. Even those who feel that a party song performed as a piano ballad is silly feel it's a sweet tribute.

* "Warning Sign" from ''Music/ARushOfBloodToTheHead'' is another one, describing a broken relationship. The ending is especially heartbreaking. Also, making this worse is that according to a YouTube comment it was Paul Walker's favourite song.

** Given its tone, it's not difficult to see the song as a crossing of the DespairEventHorizon. Which naturally leads into...



** Some of the lyrics get a lot heavier if you're someone in a depressive mood.

** Some of the lyrics get a lot heavier if you're someone in a depressive mood. Not helped by the fact that it immediately follows "A Rush of Blood to the Head" and is about someone attempting suicide (and, thankfully, failing due to external intervention).

** "Fun" might be about Chris' disappointingly brief relationship with Main/JenniferLawrence, which was supposedly interrupted by Gwenth Paltrow. Even with Tove Lo being featured on the track it's still hard to listen to.

** It can also be read in a heartbreaking sense, as well. The lyrics seem to refer to the disappointment we all feel when our childhood dreams end up never coming true, and how we rely on fantasy to escape from the depressing mundanity of our lives.

* "Viva La Vida" tells the story of a man who overthrew a corrupt king and took his place. He had money, power, and an admiring kingdom, but he soon became corrupt just like the first king. Upon realizing how far he had fallen, he became disillusioned with his position of power and allowed himself to be removed from the throne and [assumedly] spent the rest of his days looking back on his reign and laments his fate.
