When Chris Martin was asked by the same magazine about the line “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name,” he gave one of the most revealing interpretations of the song. He said it is about the idea that when your life ends, someone will analyze it, weigh you, look at what you did. He connected it to the logic present in many religions, to that anxiety of final judgment, of the list you are either on or not on. He put it bluntly, that here the phrase basically means “you’re not on the list,” “I was a naughty boy.”
