Coldplay: Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Song Meaning

I think you really get to understand what the song means towards the end.

" So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I raise the flag "

It's definitely a very you-are-better-than-this song. and how he sings about growing as a person and growing from the problems and becoming better. singing about how much potential he has. And the line "i'd rather be a comma than a fullstop"....love it!!!!

I think the title "every teardrop is a waterfall" taking it literally apart, teardrop is usually what we associate with sadness. when you think of waterfall we usually think of how nature's so beautiful, and all that, so i guess every teardrop is a waterfall would probably mean there's also beauty within the ugly????
