Tick-Tock
Mariya Yaremchuk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since the first time that I saw you
Bells rang angels sang
When the light of the night
fell on us we knew
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Now cover me, I'll buy us time, time
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh *2
Oh wait for me I'm worth your while
Tick-tock, can you hear me go tick tock
My heart is like a clock, I'm steady like a rock
Sch don't stop, kiss and kiss me till I drop
My heart is like a clock you wind it with your love
You wind and wind, it with your love
Now I know it's too hard to
go tick tock without the glimpse of you
If you cave in I break
I keep losing my pace
In this endless race
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
They all know that you're mine
They can see we belong
Shelter me, you'll do fine
Wait for me, I'll buy us time
Tick-tock, can you hear me go tick tock
My heart is like a clock, I'm steady like a rock
Sch don't stop, kiss and kiss me till I drop
My heart is like a clock, you wind it with your love
The song “Tick-Tock” by Mariya Yaremchuk is a love song about the intense and unwavering love felt by the singer. The opening lines state that the singer has loved the person since the first time they saw them. It was a moment of intense connection, where “bells rang angels sang,” indicating that it was a magical experience. The refrain, “oh oh oh,” emphasizes the enormity of the feeling that has taken hold of the singer. The second verse expresses the mutual understanding between the two, where they both know that the other person belongs to them. The singer asks the other person to wait for them, suggesting that they know that they are worth the wait. The metaphor of a clock is used to indicate that the singer’s heart is steady and true, but it also emphasizes the passing of time.
The song’s chorus continues with the clock metaphor, stating that the singer’s heart is “like a clock, [steady] like a rock.” They repeat the refrain “tick-tock” to illustrate time passing by, and the singer’s willing surrender to the other person’s love. Another metaphor of winding the clock with love implies that the singer’s heart needs the other person’s love to keep going. The second verse emphasizes how much the singer needs the other person’s presence, as they cannot keep steady without them. The song ends with the emphasis on waiting and that they will buy time to be together.

Believe it or not, I used this song as my performance in my English class. Teacher assigned students to record video of ourselves singing in English. I was too shy to record a video but brave enough to perform in front of the classroom loll. I learned her dance move for 12 hours, using a blue fabric as copy version of her dress. And I got 10 point!!! Thank you Mariya.
