He's got no mouth but talks

Tick tack, click clack

My time, your time is under attack

We run on a circle track
The cycle of daily life, work, and repetition is monotonous and limiting.

A bossy three-handed man

Who gives me a triple slap in my face

Years of tension, a second of slack

He is so tiny but hard to embrace

From the top of the world he shows you

No respect, don't regret, we're screwed

If time is gold, we are broke for good

Hopeless beggars, dance to this beatific flute

By towers supported, on a human wrist resorting

Phlegmatic eyes dilated, trickin' tick-tactics underrated

Time to eat, time to sleep, time to go back to your soil crib
Daily life is little more than a series of mundane routines, devoid of excitement or meaning.

Oh what a mechanical miracle, global dictator, massive superior
The person described is a technological marvel, a symbol of worldwide domination and near-omnipotence.

Like a winding toy that sits at the porch, this bull-headed boy is a watchman on the life-time verge
This person is both a toylike automaton and a formidable guardian, watching over the passage of time and humanity's fate.

The more we struggle, the more we lose our precious days
Attempts to resist or challenge the status quo only result in wasted time and failure.

Hearts are swinging to the rhythm of imminence
Everyone is absorbed in the present, with no regard for the future or long-term consequences.

Should we never grab a tail of what we cannot own?
Is it futile to chase after what we cannot possess or control?

Our time is a snail, running faster than any wind, any wind can blow
Time moves inexorably, and our attempts to keep pace with it will always fall short.

Striking, beating, sweeping our lives away
The passage of time is violent and harsh, leaving no opportunity for pause or rest.
