Clocks
DJ Style Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of the things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named

A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

You are, you are

Confusion that never stops
The closing walls and the ticking clocks gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities am I
A part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are

And nothing else compares
And 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 (You are)

Overall Meaning

The song "Clocks" by DJ Style is a hauntingly beautiful track that captures the feeling of being lost and at the mercy of fate. The lyrics speak of someone who has been brought down to their knees by the forces that they tried to go against. They are pleading and begging for help from anyone who will listen. The first verse talks about how the person feels helpless and overwhelmed by their situation, and how they are begging for someone to come to their aid.

The chorus of the song seemingly revolves around the idea of "you". It is not clear whether the singer is addressing someone specific, or whether they are using "you" as a way to express a feeling or emotion. They repeat the phrase "you are" multiple times, as if to emphasize the importance of this unknown entity in their life. The singer seems to be seeking a sense of purpose and belonging, and is searching for answers to deep questions about their life and the world around them.

The second verse of the song is more introspective, as the singer questions whether they are part of the solution or part of the problem. They grapple with feelings of guilt and pain, wondering if they are essentially a disease plaguing their own life. The chorus repeats once again, this time with a slight variation. The singer adds "And nothing else compares" to the end, emphasizing the importance of "you" in their life.

Overall, "Clocks" is a powerful song that captures the feelings of uncertainty and insecurity that many people experience at some point in their lives. The lyrics are open to interpretation, allowing listeners to relate to the song in their own unique way.
