I heard it on NRJ Berlin once. So far, they are not really playing it on the radio here.

Check out the Annie Mac interview around 3:30 where Chris talks about the background vocals we are trying to figure out. If I'm understanding it correctly, it might not be meant to be understood. Chris sings some sort of jibberish and said that Stargate "took some vocals of mine and turned it into that riff." That's just how I took it anyway. What do you think? I love how he always wants people to interpret the lyrics in their own way.

yes, i too think it's not meant to mean anything, rather vocal effects. the oracle said so on twitter as well.
now about the lyrics, this is as close as it gets i think. from coldplaying:
i love a couple of snippets there.
"Under this pressure, under this weight We are diamonds"
and after the radio x interview:
"Said I can't go on, not in this way I'm a dream, I die by light of day Gonna hold up half the sky and say, "Only I own me""
that's a fantastic verse! way to support girl power chris!

Unfortunately he SAYS underneath. Take a gander at the NRJ awards missy, and I know it's very difficult but watch his mouth. :p
And I think the last word of the first paragraph is 'me' not 'him' because I think he said that too and it just makes sense.
In the 'I can't go on' paragraph, I also think it's 'I'm a dreamer, die by light of day."
Just my input! :-)

@row: "only you/ya own me" ?? I was close, but I agree: 'only I own me' is what we where looking for!

Oh clever you.. I guess we need the 'official lyrics' to actually prove it, but I think we are pretty damn close.

Yeah interesting...quick google search says it means "mother" in Arabic, "ocean" in Japanese and it's also an Egyptian boy's name meaning "life".

yeah, since it is the only word capitalized, i take it as a name. maybe the protagonist here?

A name, yes looks like it. Protagonist, yes, good suggestion! Aaah this is tricky. WHY did they not publish the lyrics before all the interviews?! Then we might have got an answer
