Clocks
Navigating Life's Turmoil: Clocks by Northern Lite
Lyrics
The lights go out and I can't be saved
The situation is bleak, and I feel helpless as if there's no way to be rescued.
Tides that I tried to swim against
Struggling against powerful forces, attempting to overcome challenges.
Have put me down upon my knees
I've been defeated and brought to a position of vulnerability or submission.
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
Desperately pleading and asking for mercy or assistance.
Singin', come out of things unsaid
Expressing hidden thoughts or emotions, revealing secrets.
Shoot an apple off my head
An exaggerated way of showcasing risk or the pressure of a difficult situation.
And a trouble that can't be named
A problem that's challenging to identify or define.
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singin'
A metaphorical representation of an untamed or unrestrained aspect of life.
You are you are
Repetition for emphasis, possibly signifying identity or affirmation.
Confusion never stops
A state of continual uncertainty or chaos.
Closing walls and tickin' clocks
Feeling trapped or restricted by time passing.
Gonna come back and take you home
The anticipation of returning to a place of safety or comfort.
I could not stop that you now know
An inability to prevent a certain outcome that's now evident.
Singin', come out upon my seas
Inviting someone to join in the experiences or challenges faced.
Cursed missed opportunities
Regret over missed chances or possibilities.
Am I a part of the cure?
Questioning whether one contributes positively or negatively to a situation.
Or am I part of the disease? Singin'
Pondering if one's actions are beneficial or harmful.
You are you are
Repetition for emphasis, possibly signifying identity or affirmation.
You are you are
-And nothing else compares
Expressing that nothing else can match or compare to a particular feeling or state.
Oh, nothing else compares
Reiteration emphasizing that nothing else can compare to a specific experience.
And nothing else compares
Repetition emphasizing the unmatched nature of a particular feeling or state.
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Expressing a strong desire to return to a place that feels like home, symbolizing comfort, safety, or belonging.
Home, home, where I wanted to go
-Home, home, where I wanted to go
-Home, home, where I wanted to go
