“Yellow” is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. The band wrote the song and co-produced it with British record producer Ken Nelson for their debut album, Parachutes (2000). The song was recorded in March 2000 and released on 26 June that same year as the second UK single from Parachutes, following “Shiver“, and as the lead single in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_(Coldplay_song)
Even though the title color (“Yellow”) is used to compare the addressee to the stars, it ultimately serves as a symbol rather than having any specific meaning. And it represents the vocalist’s deep love and appreciation for the addressee.
Furthermore, while metaphors like comparing a person to an astronomical body are commonly used in romantic pieces or whatever, this is not the case in this case.
Yes, Chris Martin and company are speaking to a true love, the kind that makes you want to ‘bleed yourself dry’ for someone. Of course, such feelings are not limited to romance and can, for example, apply to a brother. As a result, Martin has clarified that this piece is not in honor of a specific person – such as a lover – or a specific type of relationship, but rather (based on the vocalist) speaks to true interpersonal love in all types of relationships.
