Clockwork
Embracing Life's Clockwork Symphony
Lyrics
It feels good to be alive
Expressing the joy of being alive.
Gravity is my demise
Feeling weighed down by gravity, suggesting challenges or struggles.
They say as you age you get wise
Reflecting on the idea that aging brings wisdom.
But I only feel sleep deprived
Feeling consistently tired despite the expectation of increased wisdom with age.
Not enough hours in the week
Expressing a sense of time scarcity, not enough hours for all tasks.
When a third of my hours I'm asleep
Highlighting the significant time spent sleeping, impacting productivity.
Eyes wide open when I dream most vividly
Experiencing vivid dreams, potentially indicating a desire for a more awake state.
I just wanna be wide awake
Expressing a desire to be fully awake and present.
And wipe those sleepy eyes and day think
Encouraging oneself to stay awake and engage with the day.
We got a lot to do in a little time
Acknowledging a sense of urgency and a busy schedule.
Gotta speed up the timeline
Expressing a need to accelerate progress or achieve goals faster.
Moving forward then I go back
Describing a pattern of moving forward and then regressing.
Seems more like a circle than a path
Suggesting that life's journey feels circular rather than linear.
Midnight chimes reverse the spell
Imagery of midnight chimes indicating a reset or fresh start.
Start over, might as well
Embracing the idea of starting over at midnight.
Midnight chimes reverse the spell
Repeating the concept of midnight chimes and starting anew.
Is it a clock or a wishing well
Raising the question of whether time is a clock or a source of wishes.
Always racing the sunset
Continuously trying to outrun challenges or limitations.
Riding faster, not quite there yet
Expressing the pursuit of goals with a sense of urgency.
I never liked to go to sleep
Disliking the idea of going to sleep, preferring wakefulness.
So I stay awake until my eyes betray me
Staying awake until exhaustion, resisting the need for sleep.
Life is full of little games
Viewing life as a series of games with opportunities and challenges.
So much to win, so much to blame
Highlighting the complexity of life with both victories and regrets.
Maybe you're not seeking change
Considering whether change is actively sought after.
But there's so many things to try
Encouraging exploration and trying new experiences before the end.
Before you close your eyes
Emphasizing the importance of experiencing life before it ends.
And end your numbered days
Reflecting on the finite nature of life and the numbered days.
We got a lot to do in a little time
Reiterating the sense of urgency and a busy schedule.
Gotta speed up the timeline
Repeating the need to accelerate progress or achieve goals faster.
Moving forward then I go back
Describing the cyclical nature of progress and regression.
Seems more like a circle than a path
Reiterating the feeling that life's journey is more circular than linear.
Midnight chimes reverse the spell
Repeating the imagery of midnight chimes and a reset.
Start over, might as well
Embracing the idea of starting over at midnight again.
Midnight chimes reverse the spell
Repeating the concept of midnight chimes and a fresh start.
Is it a clock or a wishing well
Reiterating the question of whether time is a clock or a source of wishes.
Is it a clock or a wishing well
Posing the question again, emphasizing the uncertainty of time.
Is it a clock or a wishing well
Repeating the question, leaving the interpretation open-ended.
