Tick tock
Heavy like a Brinks truck
Looking like I'm tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
Time will grab your wrist
Lock it down 'til the thing pop
Tick tock
Heavy like a Brinks truck
Looking like I'm tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
Time will grab your wrist
Lock it down 'til the thing pop
Can you stick around for a minute til' the ring stops? Please God (please God)
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in (the same)
Tick tock, gimme, gimme big bucks
That is all that I do, girl, I just hit the jackpot
I wish you were here with me now so I could feel some
I wish you were here to hold me down like a real one, real one
Live long, wanna be a big shot
Should've stayed away but always had a weak spot
I've been on the road, and I'm sorry for the mix up
If you still love me can you see me during liftoff, liftoff?
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in
As time keeps slippin' away (slipping away)
Girl, don't start feelin' a way (a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in (the same)
With my hands in the ocean
With my hands in the ocean
With my hands in the ocean, I pray
I pray, oh, I pray
The lyrics of "Tick Tock" by Joji in his album Nectar portray the relatable theme of time, love, and money. The song starts with Joji comparing himself to a Brinks truck, which is a high-security vehicle used to transport money. He's confident and looking "tip-top," shining like a wristwatch, metaphorically portraying himself as priceless. However, he's also aware that time is slipping away and could grab his wrist to lock him down until the thing pops. It's an anxious plea to God to stick around for a minute until the ring stops, meaning the ringing sound of an alarm or a clock. He's not ready for time to defeat him, and maybe he's trying to say that none of us is.
Joji then sings about love, stating that he and his partner are one in the same and loving in pain. The next few lines portray how Joji's fame affected his love life. He wishes his partner was with him to feel some; he's apologizing for the mix-up, which might have been caused because he's always on the road. However, he's still hoping that his partner loves him and can see him during liftoff.
Overall, "Tick Tock" is an insightful and reflective song about time management, priorities, love, and fame. It's a deep introspection of how we can juggle things in life, and sometimes, we end up favoring one thing over the other, and we may regret it. The song is a manifestation of Joji's artistry, and it's drawn a lot of attention to various groups of fans globally.

Tick tock
Time keeps moving forward
Heavy like a Brinks truck
My life is full of weight
Looking like I'm tip-top
I present myself as high-status
Shining like a wristwatch
I'm glimmering, catching attention
Time will grab your wrist
Time is unstoppable
Lock it down 'til the thing pop
Life has its own timeline, until it ends
Can you stick around for a minute til' the ring stop? Please God
Can you stick by me through tough times, hopefully with divine help?
Tick tock, gimme, gimme big bucks
Time is money, and I want more
That is all that I do, girl, I just hit the jackpot
Making money is my priority
I wish you were here with me now so I could feel some
I miss you and want to feel loved
I wish you were here to hold me down like a real one, real one
I want emotional support like a true friend would give
Live long, wanna be a big shot
I want to be successful and live a long life
Should've stayed away but always had a weak spot

With my hands in the ocean
I'm reaching out to a higher power
I pray, oh, I pray
I'm hoping for divine help
As time keeps slippin' away...
Despite my struggles and desires, life keeps moving forward
Girl, don't start feelin' a way
Don't let life's challenges get you down
You and I, we are one in the same
We are equally affected by life's ups and downs
Loving in pain, loving in...
We must have hope and love even through difficult times
