Broken Clocks
SZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Runnin' fast from the way it was
Jump quick to a pay check
Runnin' back to the strip club
I'm never going back, never going back
No, you can't make me
Never going back, never going back (nah)
They'd never take me
I've paid enough of petty dues
I've had enough of shitty news
I've had a thing for dirty shoes since I was 10
Love dirty men alike
Ooh
Better day than yesterday (keep cuttin' up)
Ooh
I just take it day by day
Ooh-oh-oh
Never hearing what they say
Ooh-ooh
I just do it my way
All I got is these broken clocks
I ain't got no time
Just burning daylight
Still love and it's still love, and it's still love
It's still love, still love (still love), still love
It's still love, but it's still love
Nothin' but love for you (nothin' but)
Nothin' but love (nothin' but)
Nothin' but love
All that I've got, pieces and pages
Talking a lot, sorry I'm faded
Think I forgot, you love me
You love me
You love me
Got a shift at 10 AM
Gotta dip at 10 PM
Gotta get that cash
Won't get past the lunch break
I ain't had a smoke break
In about two days don't break
Been about three years since I dated you
Why you still talking 'bout me like we together?
I moved on for the better
You moved on to whoever
I was down for whatever and then some
You gon' make me late to work again
Ooh
Better day than yesterday
Ooh
I just take it day by day
Ooh-oh-oh
Never hearing what they say
Ooh-ooh
I just do it my way
All I got is these broken clocks
I ain't got no time
Just burning daylight
Still love and it's still love, and it's still love
It's still love, still love, still love (still love)
It's still love, but it's still love (still love)
Nothin' but love for you
Nothin' but love (nothin' but)
Nothin' but love
I don't eat, can't sleep past 9 AM
Heartbeat make me feel young again (like I feel, like I)
Can't beat 'em just join the party (come and join the party)
I don't wanna, don't need nobody
All that I've got, pieces and pages
Talking a lot, sorry, I'm faded
Think I've forgot, you love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
(You love me)
The lyrics to SZA's song Broken Clocks depict a woman who is determined to break away from her past and move forward in her life. She is running away from her previous day job and the way things used to be. She is now working in a strip club and is adamant that she is never going back. She has paid her dues and had enough of the negativity in her life. She has a love for dirty men and continues to live her life the way she chooses to.
Despite the challenges she faces, she takes it day by day and does things her way. She has broken clocks and no time but still has love for those around her. She talks about how she has forgotten that people still love her and, even though she is faded, she acknowledges the love she has received. She contemplates her current job and the time she has left until she gets off work. She doesn't want anyone to join her in her life but is open to people joining her party.
The song touches on themes of breaking free, self-love, and making choices for oneself. It is an expression of the singer’s defiance towards her past and moving forward with her life.
