About This Track

'1.36' by Coldplay is an alternative track from the album 'The Scientist - Single' released in 2002. The lyrics cast people as trapped and competing in a constrained space, with images of cages, blindness, and a question of how long they can endure. It moves from desperate recovery and attempts to climb upward to a bleak exchange of perspective, ending on a pointed observation about those who believe they are seeing clearly.

Lyrics

1.36

Stuck in a corner
Like monkeys in cages
That don't have a number
And fight one another
Try to recover

Climb up a ladder
Look up and you see birds
Blind as each other
How long can we suffer?
We're as blind as each other

On the cloud that you're sitting
There's one born every minute
So much to discover
I've become a believer

Sisters and brothers
Who fight one another
Will mourn and deceive us
Will find us and keep us
Take us or leave us

How soon is now? Yeah
How long is never?
I'm nothing but normal
We're something together
Come on, stick together

On the cloud that you're sitting
There's one born every minute
So much to discover
I've become a believer

Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
