"Viva La Vida" is a Coldplay song about a deposed king, narrated from his perspective as he reflects on his fallen reign and impending death. The lyrics are a story of regret and the fleeting nature of power, often interpreted as being inspired by historical events like the French Revolution and King Louis XVI. The title itself, which means "Long Live Life" in Spanish, emphasizes themes of life, death, and transformation despite the protagonist's downfall.
