The "long live" theme really seems strong lately. But it refers to a replacement of power - one had a good, long life, now it's someone else's turn to take power. At least, this is the way I see it and is at least partly the meaning of the Coldplay song, Viva la Vida.
The bells theme fits perfectly with this as well. As do drownings, ships/boat, Queen Elizabeth etc.

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Yesterday, I said these two matched up well together and I had no idea why I thought so, since they really don't look *that* similar... but to me, they went together.
Today, I see this...

There was a choir to accompany Madonna also...
The single, Viva la Vida (Coldplay) is all about a new king taking over...
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
My mind was telling me about this song...
Now it all seems to make sense.

Smash comparisons
But this is not the first thing that struck me. The first thing my mind thought of was this... although I'm not really sure why...
