Coldplay - Viva La Vida

The song describes falling from a position of power and rule over the world. The singer used to hold great power as king but has now lost their throne, kingdom, and subjects. They sweep the streets alone that they used to own and rule from, reflecting on how they once commanded the seas and people but now have nothing.

"Now the old king is dead!

Revolutionaries wait

Long live life the king!"

For my head on a silver big plate


Just a puppet on a lonely sad string

One minute I used to held the key

Oh who would ever want to be king?

Next the walls closed on me
