Clocks
Navigating Life's Maze: Clocks by Tom Bailey Unveils a Journey of Choices
Lyrics
The lights go out and I can't be saved
The speaker feels powerless or unable to change their situation as things have become dire.
Tides that I tried to swim against
Struggling against natural forces or circumstances that are difficult to overcome.
Have brought me down upon my knees
Feeling defeated, brought down to a position of vulnerability.
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
The speaker desperately pleads for something, possibly for help or understanding.
Singin' come out of things un said
Referencing unspoken thoughts or unsaid words that need to be expressed.
Shoot an apple off my head
An extreme challenge or risk, metaphorically represented by shooting an apple off someone's head.
And a trouble that can't be named
Refers to an unnamed but significant trouble or problem.
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singin'
A metaphorical comparison of something challenging to a tiger waiting to be controlled or managed.
You are
Repetition emphasizing a state of confusion or uncertainty about identity or role.
You are
-Confusion that never stops
-Closing walls and ticking clocks
-Gonna come back and take you home
-I could not stop that you now know
-Singin' come out upon my seas
-Cursed missed opportunities
-Am I a part of the cure
-Or am I part of the disease? Singin'
-You are
-You are
-You are
-You are
-You are
-You are
-And nothing else compares
Emphasizing the uniqueness and significance of a particular person or entity.
Oh, no, nothing else compares
-And nothing else compares
-You are
Reiterating the identity of a significant entity amidst confusion or doubt.
You are
-Home, home, where I wanted to go
Expressing a strong desire or yearning to return to a place of comfort or belonging.
Home, home, where I wanted to go
-Home, home, where I wanted to go
-Home, home, where I wanted to go
