Clockwork
Ashley Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An old familiar place, but your face isn't there
I didn't want to call since we've crossed all the wires
But you know I don't mind that you're taking your time
It's in my head
It's in my heart
It's taking over like clockwork
It's in my heart
And it won't stop, it's like
Oh oh I don't wanna fight it
Oh oh, you know that it's in my head
It's in my heart
It's taking over like clockwork
I love how you survive when you're losing a fight
There's no need, no regrets
We don't play to rewind!
And we stay still standing when we're standing still
And you know I don't mind when we got time to kill
It's in my head
It's in my heart
It's taking over like clockwork
It's in my head,
It's in my heart
And it won't stop, it's like clockwork
Oh oh I don't wanna fight it
Oh oh, you know that it's in my head
It's in my heart,
It's taking over like clockwork
In my head,
It's ticking in my heart
And it won't stop like clockwork
In my head,
It's ticking in my heart
And it won't stop like clockwork
In my head,
It's ticking in my heart
And it won't stop like clockwork
You know it's always taking over,
In my head, in my heart
It's in my head,
It's in my heart
It's taking over like clockwork
It's in my head,
It's in my heart
And it won't stop, it's like clockwork
Oh oh I don't wanna fight it
Oh oh, you know that it's in my head
It's in my heart,
It's taking over like clockwork
It's in my head,
It's in my heart
It's taking over like clockwork
It's in my head,
It's in my heart
And it won't stop, it's like clockwork
In Ashley Roberts's song "Clockwork," she describes her persistent feelings of love and affection towards someone who may not reciprocate them. She walked across town to a familiar place, but doesn't see the person she's looking for. Despite crossing all the wires and feeling uncertain about reaching out to them, Ashley's heart and mind are consumed by her feelings, which are dominating her like clockwork. She admires and appreciates how the other person remains strong and resilient despite losing certain battles, and how they can stand together even when they have nothing to do but wait. Nevertheless, the urgent and unstoppable force of her emotions remains a constant presence in her thoughts and feelings, ticking away like clockwork in her head and heart.
Line by Line Meaning
I walked across town just to show you I care
I made the effort to go out of my way and travel far to express my feelings for you
An old familiar place, but your face isn't there
I went to a place that reminds me of you, but you were not present
I didn't want to call since we've crossed all the wires
I hesitated to reach out because our communication has been complicated
But you know I don't mind that you're taking your time
I understand if you need space and I'm willing to be patient
It's in my head
These thoughts and feelings are constantly on my mind
It's in my heart
These emotions are deeply felt within me
It's taking over like clockwork
These feelings are consuming me in a regular and predictable way
And it won't stop, it's like
These strong feelings are persistent and unrelenting
Oh oh I don't wanna fight it
I don't want to resist or deny these emotions
I love how you survive when you're losing a fight
I admire your resilience in the face of adversity
There's no need, no regrets
We don't have to second-guess ourselves or have any doubts
We don't play to rewind!
We don't try to go back in time or relive the past
And we stay still standing when we're standing still
We remain strong even when we're not actively moving
And you know I don't mind when we got time to kill
I'm okay with spending time together without any particular purpose or agenda
In my head, it's ticking in my heart
These feelings are constant and present, like the ticking of a clock
You know it's always taking over, in my head, in my heart
You should know that my feelings for you never fade or weaken

Ashley was always my favourite Pussycat Dolls member and I knew she could sing but WHOA she sounds so good here! It makes me even more frustrated that she didn't get an opportunity to really showcase her vocal talent for all those years she was in the Pussycat Dolls. I'm glad she's getting the chance to do so now though.

She was the only one I ever really liked from Pussycat Dolls. I'm glad she continues to do music :)
