The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop

The clock don't stop
Absorbs to the core
I wish I fall
I sink to the floor
Unless I lost
I lose nothing more
The more I want
The more loses all

The will is lost
I will kiss the Gods
I kill my Gods
And play God of war
I talk to walls
And walk through the doors
I kiss my forehead
And dance on my corpse

The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop

The clock don't stop
Absorbs to the core
I wish I fall
I sink to the floor
Unless I lost
I lose nothing more
The more I want
The more loses all

The will is lost
I will kiss the Gods
I kill my Gods
And play God of war
I talk to walls
And dance through the doors
I kiss my forehead
And dance on my corpse

The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop

The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop
The clock don't stop

Uh uh, hey, wake up
Get up, stand up
Hey, wake up
Get up, stand up
Hey, wake up
Get up, stand up

Hey, wake up
Get up, stand up

Overall Meaning

The next verse suggests a rebellion against this cycle of time. The lines "I will kiss the Gods / I kill my Gods / And play God of war" indicate a desire to assert power over time, possibly through achieving a godlike status. The following lines "I talk to walls / And walk through the doors / I kiss my forehead / And dance on my corpse" suggest a detachment from reality and a willingness to abandon oneself to the whims of time. Overall, the lyrics of Time convey a feeling of being trapped and helpless in the face of the unstoppable force of time.
