Fix You
I have this crazy idea for an awesome music video to go with Coldplay's "Fix You" song. If I had the means, these are the scenes I would pair with the lyrics.
(Eden, the tree of Life)
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
(Adam and Eve in the garden)
When you get what you want, but not what you need
(Adam and Eve realize their nakedness)
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
(God stirs from his rest on the seventh day, sensing something wrong)
Stuck in reverse
(Man blames woman)
And the tears come streaming down your face
(God's tears for humanity fallen)
When you lose something you can't replace
(Adam and Eve's tears for innocence lost)
When you love someone but it goes to waste
(God's love for creation)
Could it be worse?
(Cast from Eden, cherubim and flaming sword now bar the gate)
Lights will guide you home,
(the Angel of the LORD points Abraham to the stars)
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,
(Abraham and Sarah travel at the command of the LORD)
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
(God in the burning Bush)
But if you never try you'll never know
(Moses parts the Red Sea)
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
(Three magi following the star of Bethlehem)
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
(Infant Christ in Mary's arms, shepherds and kings adoring)
(Episodes from the life of Christ during the interlude)
Tears stream down your face
(Mary's tears as Jesus suffers on the road to Calvary)
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
(Jesus' tears on the cross)
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
(It is finished)
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
(Way to Eden is opened again. The Tree of Life. Christ is the everlasting light)
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
(Eden, the tree of Life)
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
(Adam and Eve in the garden)
When you get what you want, but not what you need
(Adam and Eve realize their nakedness)
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
(God stirs from his rest on the seventh day, sensing something wrong)
Stuck in reverse
(Man blames woman)
And the tears come streaming down your face
(God's tears for humanity fallen)
When you lose something you can't replace
(Adam and Eve's tears for innocence lost)
When you love someone but it goes to waste
(God's love for creation)
Could it be worse?
(Cast from Eden, cherubim and flaming sword now bar the gate)
Lights will guide you home,
(the Angel of the LORD points Abraham to the stars)
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,
(Abraham and Sarah travel at the command of the LORD)
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
(God in the burning Bush)
But if you never try you'll never know
(Moses parts the Red Sea)

(Three magi following the star of Bethlehem)

And I

(Way to Eden is opened again. The Tree of Life. Christ is the everlasting light)
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
