Coldplay: Oracle - Ok, so music related question, I was listen to The Libertines, precisely Last Post On The Bugle and I noticed that there's a verse that goes: Inside I felt So, so alone Locked in a room Waiting til kingdom come Although I felt elated I felt like I was scum. So I thought that maybe Coldplay were inspired by this to make their song Til Kingdom Comes. So did they took inspiration from The Libertines?

Q. Ok, so music related question, I was listen to The Libertines, precisely Last Post On The Bugle and I noticed that there's a verse that goes:
Inside I felt
So, so alone
Locked in a room
Waiting til kingdom come
Although I felt elated
I felt like I was scum.

So I thought that maybe Coldplay were inspired by this to make their song Til Kingdom Comes.
So did they took inspiration from The Libertines?

The Oracle replies:

No, "until kingdom come" is a well known phrase from a prayer and basically it means until the end of the world / forever.
