Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
Singin' come out of things un said
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singin'
You are
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
Oh, no, nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are
You are
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Clocks by Coldplay is a song that deals with themes of confusion, missed opportunities, and the search for meaning in life. The opening line "The lights go out and I can't be saved" is a metaphor for being lost and feeling hopeless. The singer is struggling against a greater force, represented by the "tides" that he has tried to swim against, but which have ultimately "brought him down upon his knees". Despite his desperation, he begs and pleads for a way out of the situation.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency conveyed through the imagery of "closing walls and ticking clocks" that surround the singer. He feels as though time is running out and that he must act quickly to avoid the curse of missed opportunities. In the lines "Am I a part of the cure, or am I part of the disease?" the singer is questioning his own role in the situation. Is he a force for good, or is he contributing to the problem?
The repeated refrain of "You are" is a reminder that the singer is not alone in his struggle. Whether this is directed towards a specific person, or to a higher power, is left to the interpretation of the listener. At its core, Clocks is a song that deals with the search for meaning and purpose in a confusing and sometimes overwhelming world.
Line by Line Meaning
The lights go out and I can't be saved
I feel helpless as I am engulfed by darkness
Tides that I tried to swim against
I fought hard against the forces that pulled me down
Have brought me down upon my knees
I have suffered defeat and am now humbled
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
I implore desperately for help and salvation
Singin' come out of things un said
I wish for a release from the unspoken secrets that haunt me
Shoot an apple off my head
I am willing to take risks to prove my devotion
And a trouble that can't be named
There is an unnamed problem that is causing me unrest
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singin'
I am ready to face the challenges that lie ahead
You are
You are the only thing that matters to me
Confusion that never stops
My mind is in a perpetual state of confusion
Closing walls and ticking clocks
I feel trapped by time and circumstance
Gonna come back and take you home
I will return to where you are
I could not stop that you now know
You now know the truth that I could not hide
Singin' come out upon my seas
I want you to confront the challenges I face with me
Cursed missed opportunities
I have regrets about past missed chances
Am I a part of the cure
I wonder if I am a solution to the problems we face
Or am I part of the disease? Singin'
Or if I am the cause of the problems we face
And nothing else compares
You are the only thing that matters to me
Oh, no, nothing else compares
Nothing else can compare to my love for you
Home, home, where I wanted to go
I long to be where my heart is at peace
Home, home, where I wanted to go
I yearn to be in the place I belong
Home, home, where I wanted to go
I desire to be in my true home
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Where I find love, comfort and belonging

LYRICS : 🎵
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
