Dynamite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I brought you fire.
I didn't think you'd mind.
I know it's not the same,
But I'm getting tired of listening to you whine.
Why should I pretend,
You see my friend,
The implications lie and the consensus
Says you wish I was dead.
I don't care much to talk your talk
Or be in the way when you decide to walk,
But something in you just ain't fucking right.
Fist in hand, you got a plan.
I see it's your way or no other way at all.
Let me tell you, you just ruined my night.
I don't care much to justify the way
You deal with the problems in your life,
If it's the only way that you can work things out.
Eye to eye.
What would they think?
The rats are in laughter cause they think you're slick.
Our consensus is that you're a dick.
The fools you follow are role models
To a head that's hollow.
The pride you'd swallow if you'd let it go.
Let it go. Let it go.
The lyrics to "Clocks" by Dynamite are about a disagreement between two friends. One friend seems to be very negative and in a bad mood. The other friend tries to cheer them up and bring some positivity, but the negative friend is resistant to their efforts. The lyrics speak to the frustration of trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped and the hurt feelings that can result when they reject our attempts to connect.
The first few lines set the tone for the song: "I know you asked for rain, but I brought you fire. I didn't think you'd mind. I know it's not the same, but I'm getting tired of listening to you whine." Here, the singer is trying to help their friend in some way, but the friend isn't pleased with their approach. The friend seems to want something specific (rain) but the singer offers something else (fire), thinking it might still be helpful. However, the friend is not open to this and continues to complain.
As the song goes on, we see that the friend's negative attitude is causing problems in their relationship. The singer is frustrated and hurt by their friend's rejection of their attempts to help. They say, "The implications lie and the consensus says you wish I was dead." This is a very strong statement, indicating that the friend's negative attitude is causing real harm to the relationship. The singer goes on to say that they don't want to be around the negative friend anymore: "I don't care much to talk your talk or be in the way when you decide to walk." They also express concern that something is wrong with their friend: "But something in you just ain't fucking right."
Overall, "Clocks" is a song about the frustrations of trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped. It speaks to the hurt feelings that can result when our attempts to connect are rejected, and the damage that a negative attitude can cause in a relationship.

I know you asked for rain,
I understand that you expected something different than what I brought.
But I brought you fire.
However, I brought something intense and passionate.
I didn't think you'd mind.
I assumed you would appreciate the change.
I know it's not the same,
Although I recognize it's not what you expected.
But I'm getting tired of listening to you whine.
I am growing weary of your complaining.
Why should I pretend,
Why should I feign interest or enthusiasm?
You see my friend,
In reality, you are not my friend.
I heard what you said.
I am aware of your negative comments.
The implications lie and the consensus
It's clear from context and discussion that
Says you wish I was dead.
You harbor ill-will towards me.
I don't care much to talk your talk
I have no interest in hearing what you have to say.
Or be in the way when you decide to walk,
Nor do I want to get in your way.
But something in you just ain't fucking right.
However, there seems to be something wrong with you.
Fist in hand, you got a plan.
You are determined and ready to act.
I see it's your way or no other way at all.
You are unwilling to compromise.
Let me tell you, you just ruined my night.
Your behavior and attitude have had a negative impact on me.
I don't care much to justify the way
I have no interest in rationalizing or excusing your approach to solving problems.
You deal with the problems in your life,
The challenges that arise in your life are your responsibility.
If it's the only way that you can work things out.
If your methods for dealing with issues are effective, then fine.
Eye to eye.
Let's confront each other directly.
What would they think?
What would others think of you?
The rats are in laughter cause they think you're slick.
Other people are laughing at you behind your back because they see through your facade.
Our consensus is that you're a dick.
A general agreement has been reached that you are unpleasant.
The fools you follow are role models
The people you admire are not worth emulating.
To a head that's hollow.
Your mind is empty and shallow.
The pride you'd swallow if you'd let it go.
If you could let go of your ego, you might be able to learn something.
Let it go. Let it go.
Relax and release your negative thoughts and feelings.
