Coldplay: Violet Hill, which war is it protesting against? Also, why is it called violet hill?

Question

:)

Answer 1

The name i have no idea? it's really hard to say look into it. and btw IT isnt about a certain war lol it's simply a depiction of a soldier going into war and how its pointless it is protesting against war but its protesting against ALL war. When he says "if you love me wont you let me know?" he means he's heading into war and he wants to know she loves him before he does. When he says "I don't want to be a soldier Of Who the captain of some sinking ship would stow/far below."

" he means hes having second thoughts about the army and is gonna desert the army. That is why at the closing he says "i took my love down to violet hill there we sat in the snow all that time she was silent still so if you love me wont you let me know?" he means he once again was reunited with his love and but the army is after him for deserting them and so thats why he asks her again if you love me wont you let me know because she may never see him again. understand? if not think about it lol.

Answer 2

most anti war songs are protesting against one war, just war in general. Meaningless, petty wars fought for selfish reasons. Just like Coldplay's other song Viva la Vida is talking about a revolution or revolutions in general, but not a specific one.



I think whoever wrote the lyrics made up Violet Hill randomly as a place where the singer spends time with his lover.

Answer 3

Violet Hill is basically an all-around protest song. I think that it talks about how those in positions of power try to control other people, and also how one person in a relationship can be controlling and not caring enough for the other person. As for the name, it was taken from the name of a street in London.
