Ya, I agree totally. Perhaps alt music fans, if they choose to listen to Coldplay, do not do so for the lyrics, but mainstream fans from the general public probably do feel that they resonate with the lyrics and have them as part of the appeal. They're simple, easy to remember, easy to sing along to, and undemanding requiring very little reflection or thought. Basically, the perfect recipe for commercial success.
