Ultimately forming into a live band in 1996, Clock Strikes Thirteen would soon forgo a number of line-up changes over the years with Kim remaining as the only original member. Drive-In Records first captured Thirteen's sound of pensive, melodic indie through two 1997 singles. Resulting in several critical comparisons to Northern Soul and Orchids, the Kim and company would follow with the 1999 EP When We Were Together. Their first full-length Ever Decreasing Circles resulted a year later through Drive-In and Liquefaction Empire.

Clock Strikes Thirteen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby let's cruise, away from here
Don't be confused baby, the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
Just for a one night stand in bed
Let the music take your mind
And, just release and you would find

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way

I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

Baby tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
And inch by inch we get closer and closer oh
Every little part is in touch
Oh baby, baby oh
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you would find, baby
I love it I love it

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way

Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

Oh oh, cruise for me babe

Oh baby let's cruise
Let's flow, let's glide
Oh let's open up, and go inside
And if you want it you got it forever
I can just stay there inside you
And love you baby, oh
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you would find, baby

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way

Music was made for love, cruising is made for love

Overall Meaning

Clock Strikes Thirteen's song "Cruisin" is a romantic, upbeat and very enticing song that encapsulates the desire and enthusiasm of young love. The song invites a partner to take a break from the mundanity of everyday life and join the singer on a journey of love and escape. The lyrics suggest a desire to indulge in the pleasures of the present moment and to leave all worries and doubts behind. The implicit notion of, "let's not think too much, let's just enjoy each other's company," prevails throughout the song.

The opening lines, "Baby let's cruise, away from here; Don't be confused baby, the way is clear," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer wants to cruise with his lover, and he convinces her that the way is clear and there is nothing to be confused about. He assures her that they can have a one-night stand but also says, "if you want it, you got it forever," leaving the duration of their relationship ambiguous.

The chorus emphasizes the joy of cruising and how music is an integral part of this experience. The chorus goes, "We gonna fly away, plan to go my way; I love it when we're cruising together; Music was made for love, cruising is made for love." The repetition of the phrase, "I love it when we're cruising together," illustrates how much the singer revels in this experience.

The lyrics of "Cruisin" suggest that the singers are on a journey of love and adventure, where the present is more important than the future. The song is delightful and joyful, with its cheesy lyrics and catchy tune, and it is guaranteed to make you feel good.

Line by Line Meaning

Baby let's cruise, away from here
Let's go on a romantic road trip, away from our current location

Don't be confused baby, the way is clear
There's no need to be lost or uncertain, the path is straightforward

And if you want it you got it forever
If you desire a long-term commitment, I can give it to you

Just for a one night stand in bed
But if you only want a brief encounter, I'm also willing

Let the music take your mind
Focus on the melody and let your cares slip away

And, just release and you would find
Relax and you'll discover inner freedom

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
We're going to embark on an adventure according to my vision

I love it when we're cruising together
I enjoy being with you while traveling in a casual, leisurely manner

Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
Songs and journeys were created to enhance romance

Baby tonight belongs to us
This evening belongs entirely to our shared experience

Everything's right, do what you must
Everything feels perfect, so follow your heart's desires

And inch by inch we get closer and closer oh
We gradually become more intimate and affectionate

Every little part is in touch
We feel connected in every possible way

Let the music take your mind
Let the rhythm carry you away emotionally

Just release and you would find, baby
If you relax your grip on reality, you'll discover something extraordinary

Oh baby, baby oh
You are my beloved and I'm thrilled to be with you

Oh oh, cruise for me babe
Enjoy the moment with me, my love

Let's flow, let's glide
Let's move forward fluidly and effortlessly

Oh let's open up, and go inside
Let's be vulnerable and explore each other a little deeper

I can just stay there inside you
I want to remain close to you, physically and emotionally

And love you baby, oh
I am deeply in love with you

Oh, we gonna fly
We're going to travel in a joyful and carefree manner

I love this song and I translated it into Japanese even though there aren't many japanese comments. I hope you like it.

かつて俺は音速のヒーローだった。
なのに、過去の栄光に足を取られて今じゃ音速なんて出せやしない。
ウィキペディアでは未だに15歳なんて書かれているけど、グリーンヒルってどんなだったっけ。
録音テープのように、時を巻き戻すことなんて出来ない。
リングが無くなったのはいつからだろう。
ブルーな毎日。世界を救ったところで家賃が払えなけりゃ意味がない。
痛みから逃げるように全速力で走る。
けれど囁きが聞こえるんだ。
もうすぐ30になる。もうすぐ30になる。
簡単なカーブすら曲がりきれない。
生きて学べだって？
30になっちまう。30になっちまう。
ま、ぼちぼちやっていこうぜ。

あいつらともすっかりご無沙汰してる。一人は子どもの世話で連絡をよこしやしないし、もう一人は「仕事でそれどころじゃない」だとさ。
ドリームキャストの埃を払って冒険に出かけよう。カエルくんを探して胸焼けするくらいチリドッグを食べて。
ああ、そろそろハンマーを掲げて妻が帰ってくる。
ブーストをかけてボーナスポイントを稼ぐんだ。
だけど医者が言ったんだ。「あまり関節に負担をかけないように。」
痛みから逃げるように全速力で走る。
けれど囁きが聞こえるんだ。
もうすぐ30になる。もうすぐ30になる。
昔はオープンな心の持ち主、今じゃ開胸手術を受ける患者。
30になっちまう。30になっちまう。
ま、ぼちぼちやっていこうぜ。
レールを変えたところで何も振り切れやしない。
30になっちまうんだ。
現実はあの時の暴走トラックのように追いかけてくる。
でももう運は使い切った。
30になっちまうんだ。
もはやエスケイプする場所もない。

かつての失敗が俺を苦しめる。
今さら気づいた。人生は終わりのない挑戦なんかじゃないってことを。
それでも変化を受け入れて、俺は俺らしく、自分のペースで進むんだ。
MRIの結果が来たけど怖くて見れない。なんたって
もう30になっちまうんだ。
痛みから逃げるように全速力で走る。
けれど囁きが聞こえるんだ。
もうすぐ30になる。もうすぐ30になる。
簡単なカーブすら曲がりきれない。
生きて学べだって？
30になっちまう。30になっちまう。
ま、ぼちぼちやっていこうぜ。
30になっちまう。30になっちまう。
ま、ぼちぼちやっていこうぜ。
30になっちまう。30になっちまう。
全力で突っ切れ。

0:38 Scrap Brain(?) in the background producing pollution
0:40 Doge with... an interesting brand name. The text was grafitti'd over with "Epic Fail" at the bottom. And of course, Sonic is delivering Chilli Dogs. Also, That Bird Dude from the Sonic OVA (I tried finding their name, no dice since he's mostly called "mister", "sir" or "old man")
0:44 San Fransisco's Bridge from the SA2 concept art, found in Generations I believe? The cars are from another game, but I don't remember which.
0:46 Knuckles coming out of the pothole like in SA2's post-Aquatic Mine cutscene. This one might be a bit of a stretch, but his favourite food is grapes, and he's holding a wine bottle. Also, Tails recreating the Dad from Coraline.

0:47 Evolved Cheese holding a cheese sandwich.

1:33 Posessed Amy from that one Sonic X scene, Eggman recreates his Sonic 2/3K run
1:35 Another... reference.
1:39 Sticks the Badger lookalike on the far right, and I believe in the pool on the left is a character from the IDW comics? Again, couldn't find 'em.

1:43 Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam plushies. The Chao Doctor from SA2, "It's No Use" on the paper, Spiritual Blaze image in reference to her "death" in '06.
I feel like the "Chao Therapy" image is in reference to that one meme image with the zoomed-in birdseye perspective, but I don't know the name nor origin.
1:44 The donkey and cats from Lone Digger's 'Caravan Palace' thanks to @James Hughes and @Bart Plays Stuff for pointing it out.
1:45 Sonic and Shadow being served by Fallout Guy.
1:46 "Egg Casino" being styled after Casinopolis from Sonic Adventure, and the Hint Box from Knuckles'/Rouge's SA levels saying "LOL"
1:49 Ecco the Dolphin poster on Big's wall, underneath it being a Dreamcast VMU. I think, since it looks more like a Tamagotchi. Underneath those is a Mega Drive/Genesis and a bunch of games. Also he drinks coke....

References in the Lyrics:
"Crushing 30s" like Crush 40. Kinda obvious, but...
0:23 "At the speed of sound" referencing "Rolling around at the speed of sound" from City Escape.
0:38 "Green Hill is..." yeah.
0:48 "A hero with no rings in his hand?" referencing Seven Rings in Hand from Secret Rings.
1:04 "Scraping your brain" like Scrap Brain? Is this one a stretch?
1:14 "No time to live, no time to learn" referencing Live and Learn.
1:23 "Grind another rail" obvious, but the several grinding mechanics.
1:30 "Like a truck" referencing the Truck Chase from SA2.
1:35 "A city from whith there's no escape" referencing City Escape.

Posting this here since most see this version first, the Animation is Stellar, but because of how the song works it misses the Second part, the Part that challenges the first leaving you with a hopeful outlook at the end.
Timestamps for the original song

2:41 here to really expand on sonic's now lost of he used to be, theres another speed demon Born with his power, Another Sonic you may say, Young and imature and a Fan of the same character.
I originally wanted to also make him a Hedgehog to expand on that front, like his past not only him choosing to be affected by it but also being faced litterally by someone who has what he cosidered his. an armadillo would work better now I think, putting into reference how Mighty was a Sonic Pallate swap, and just way more niche, I'd imgine in the this future he's working with knuckles in conctruction, doesn't need a hat because of his hard shell.

So in these scene both are going into their own destenations, Sonic delevring his Chillidogs for Rings Paid, and our oc(Do not Steal) that represents sonic's past self going to school, they hit a crossing point 3:03 where sonic Surpsried in meeting someone else who can match his speed, like Shadow, but is way Younger.
and (I'll call him T) T Surprised in meeting his Favorite Hedgehog, Both fall but T is able to cacth himself, while sonic Springs from car to car until hitting the Ground 3:06. T comes to his aid above him, while sonic's crushed most of his Chillidog deliveries and Soul crying on the floor 3:09.

T helps Sonic get Up, holding hand and grining while sonic is still in desmay 3:16, sonic looks at the sky to see stars then stares down at T 3:17, he grins, packs up whatever chilidog wasn't destroyed, and prepares with T, to go at his pace arms together 3:21-3:25
3:31 overtime moves through faster and faster slowly gaining speed, failing first order, then moving on to the next getting better and better, while T is Scraficing his school to bring Sonic from his Lowest.
overtime sonic starts excerising, eating what AMY cooks and Giving her more affection, and gains higher Ranks for stages(He gained a C Rank thats a 1/1000 he's getting better!) has a happier Attetude like he used to, a Smile against the Harsh World. his friends can feel this while he passes, pushing them to find what they want out of their own Lives 4:14 until sonic and T meet paths again and see two people about to get his by a two cars, they do what they do best, Save their World.

An action-comedy adult movie where Eggman decides to take over the world again, Sonic has to actually do something that isn't food delivery to make money, maybe Tails even joining in, excited to do something that isn't office work, and at the end of it all Eggman and Sonic have this funny little moment where they both just go "I miss the good old days" and that was Eggman's motive the entire time

You know, this would unironically make a great premise for a Sonic game, with maybe the cynicism toned back a little. You start off with an intro stage, with all the usual Sonic stuff going on with the colors and the speed and the attitude, but after reaching the end off the stage and defeating the intro boss (potentially Eggman), we skip thirty years into the future. All the Sonic characters are the same, and haven't aged a day, but the world around them changed. Eggman stopped being a world-conquering nuisance and became a businessman. His robotics made life easier for everyone, the animals moved into the city, everybody is mostly content, but the main cast had grown apart, and there are no more adventured to be had, so they live mundane, boring lives (though maybe not as depressing ones as depicted here).

Then suddenly, a new group of robotic villains show up out of the blue, take control of Eggman's robotic "helpers", and now the main characters have to come out of retirement for one last big adventure. Then, during the story, Sonic gets more and more fretful, fearing that once the threat is taken care of, it really will be the last adventure. The characters can discuss this, it could lead to friction and conflicts, and in the end it would turn out that the villains were actually side-characters from the old games who conspired in order to bring back the old status quo of a fast blue hedgehog chasing a fat man on a weird helicopter, just so that they could go back to their glory days, the rest of their peaceful society be damned.

Sonic and company could once again reflect on this reveal, how time waits for no one and change is natural, and after defeating the bad guys and restoring peace, it could end with some kind of uplifting note about not clinging to one's nostalgia, looking forward, and living a fulfilling life in the now instead of trying to return to their youth when everything seemed simpler. But then we'd have a post-credits scene about Sonic and co. in their daily lives, more lively and balanced than they were at the beginning, and just when you'd think it's an aesop about accepting boring middle-class life, they come together at the end of the day to plan some kind of expedition with the motto, "The world is a big place. If adventure doesn't come to you, go outside and find it!". Wink to the camera, end scene.

I might be wrong, but I think Crush 40 got it's name because when they first founded the band, the dudes were starting their forties and they wanted to "crush it", as in start off strong.

Hate to be 'that guy', but if you look real hard in the details of Sonic living with Amy... They're not married.

She has a ring, he doesn't.
She gets on his case because he's the bread winner of the apartment.
And he still acts a bit immature cause he loves to be adventurous while she's growing up to be serious

@hiddenflare6169

2y↑116

@@snakejesus Hmm Issue with that. If you listen to the full song, one lyric goes "Until your wife pulls out her hammer!" Funny and questionable stuff aside, Amy is the only girl in the series who is known with a hammer and the song seems to be meant to be sung from Sonic's perceptive.

Unless the animation and song are meaning different things, it's likely not what you think. Your argument are they are not married, the only real idea of that is the missing ring on Sonic's finger... That can be that Sonic is too lazy or uncaring to wear it or something. Like "I didn't wear a ring when I was young" type of thing possibly.

I always thought that Sonic would have some semblance of 4th wall breaking self awareness when it comes to his age. Mario hasn't changed really at all, but Sonic literally has eras of his life portrayed in games and comics and now movies. I think seeing Sonic still persist and be as carefree as he can, as adventurous as always with a tad more wisdom is actually really cool. Very nice video.

Especially when you factor in what reflections of real-life situations are depicted here:
* Sonic stuck broke and in an unhappy marriage with Amy, who's "tsundere" attitude only seems to have gotten rougher as she's gotten older.
* Knuckles is a drunk construction worker. (Seriously, why won't ANYONE pay him enough to just let him keep an eye on that Master Emerald and Angel Island?!)
* Tails stuck in a dead-end office job with Cream and Cheese (who appears to have evolved into a regular Hero Chao by this point) as his secretaries.
* Big the Cat is some kind of corporate bigwig (pun intended?) who spends his downtime playing the classic Sonic games.
* Silver seems to be in some kind of therapy session with the Chao Doctor from SA2 (and only hanging onto his sanity by his fingertips?)
* Shadow is Sonic's drinking buddy (and judging from the nametag on his shirt seems to have employment of some kind).
* Eggman is in semi-retirement as a casino magnate and possibly with a gambling addiction, all those years of failed plans and frustrations finally having broken his will to conquer the world.
