Clocktower
Noosa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to run away to the left coast
Haven't met the summer any time
Fill the air with a new home, a new home, oh, oh
Just let it be, cut the chords around me
Ever wanna hold me back!
Give me that one sun, let me reach out
It's where eleven years I've lost hope
Found the garden of Eden
Dying of the homeland
Searching for the day I was born
I'm starting to forget how beautiful you are.

What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
Maybe you and I could fly the distance
Oh, but I have been way too long.
What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
What we have is not enough,
What we had was meant for luck
We can't give up!

I have listened close to the voices
Singing to the rhythm of my blood
And they're begging me to follow myself home.
Where the air is clear, pure as diamonds
Near the waters with the mermaids sing.
Show me the sunlight burning my candle
Looking in the flames of gold!

What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
Maybe you and I could fly the distance
Oh, but I have been way too long.
What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
What we have is not enough,
What we had was meant for luck
We can't give up!

I wanna run away
I wanna run away




I wanna run away
I wanna run away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Noosa's song Clocktower speak to a deep desire to escape, to run away from the familiar and towards the unknown. The first verse sets the scene for a move to the "left coast," a reference to the west coast of the United States, where the singer hopes to find a new home and a new start. The line "just let it be, cut the chords around me" suggests a desire to break free of the ties that bind and to start fresh with a clean slate. The second half of the verse speaks to a longing for warmth and the hope that by reaching out for it, the singer can recapture lost time.


The chorus reinforces the idea that what the singer has is not enough, and that more is needed to truly create a fulfilling life. The repetition of the line "what we have is not enough" emphasizes the frustration and longing that the singer is feeling, and the final line "we can't give up" suggests a determination to keep pushing forward, even when the path is difficult.


The second verse brings in more mythical elements, such as mermaids and diamonds, and speaks to a desire to follow one's own path, even when it goes against the norm. The repeated line "I wanna run away" reinforces the idea that escape is necessary for growth and change.


Overall, Clocktower is a song about the desire for something more, and the willingness to take risks and make big changes in order to achieve it.

The actual lyrics:I wanna run away to the left coast
Have an endless summer over me
Fill the air with some new hope, some new hope ooo-oo-ooo
Just let it be, cut the cords around me
Never wanna hold me back
Give me that one sun letting me reach out
Its been eleven years and Im still home
Found the garden of eden
Tired of the homeland
Searching from the day I was born
Im starting to forget how beautiful you are
What we have is not enough, is not enough
What we care to fight for love, to fight for love
What we hav-av-av
What we haveveveveve..... Is not enough
What we havavave (x3) .... Is not enough
I've listened close to the voices
Singin to the rhythm of my blood
And they're beggin me to follow
Myself home
Where the air is clear
Pure as diamonds
Near the waters were the mermaids sing
Show me the sunlight burning with candles
Looking in the flames of gold
Found the garden of eden
Tired of the homeland
Searching from the day I was born
Im starting to forget how beautiful you are
What we have is not enough, is not enough
What we care to fight for love, to fight for love
What we hav-av-av
What we haveveveveve..... Is not enough
What we havavave (x3) .... Is not enough
I wanna run away (x4)

Clocktower lyrics

I want to run away to the left coast
Haven't met the summer any time
Fill the air with a new home
A new home
Just let it be, cut the chords around me
Ever wanna hold me back
Give me that one sun let me reach out
It's where 11 years have lost
And I still hope

Found the garden of Eden
Dying of the homeland
Searching for the day I was born
I'm starting to forget how beautiful you are

What we have is not enough,
What we care to fight for love?
Maybe you & I could fly the distance
Ooh, but I've been way too long

What we have is not enough,
What we care to fight for love?
What we have is not enough,
What we had was meant for luck
WE CAN'T GIVE UP

I have listened close to the voices
Singing to the rhythm of my blood
And they're begging me to follow myself home
Where the air is clear, pure as diamonds
Where the waters with the mermaids sing
Show me the sunlight burning my candle
Looking in the flames of gold

What we have is not enough,
What we care to fight for love?
Maybe you & I could fly the distance
Ooh, but I've been way too long

What we have is not enough,
What we care to fight for love?
What we have is not enough,
What we had was meant for luck
WE CAN'T GIVE UP

I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna run away

Ok here we go :
[Verse 1]
I want to run away to the left coast
Have an endless summer running through me
Fill the air with a new hope, a new hope
Just let it be, cut the cords around me
Never want to hold me back
Give me that one song letting me reach out
It's been eleven years and I'm still [?]
Found the garden of Eden
Tired of the homeland
Searching from the day I was born
I'm starting to forget how beautiful you are

[Chorus]
What we had is not enough
But we care to fight for love
Maybe you and I could fly the distance
Oh but I've been away too long
What we have is not enough
But we care to fight for love
What we have is not enough
What we have is meant for love
We can't give up

[Verse 2]
I have listened close to the voices
Singing to the rhythm of my blood
And they're begging me to follow myself home
Where the air is clear, pure as diamonds
Near the waters where the mermaids sing
Show me the sign like burning the candles
Looking in the flames of gold

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I want to run away
I want to run away
I want to run away
I want to run away
We can't give up

To sing along:D

I want to run away to the left coast 
Haven't met the summer any time 
Fill the air with a new home, a new home, oh, oh 
Just let it be, cut the chords around me
Ever wanna hold me back!
Give me that one sun, let me reach out
It's where eleven years I've lost hope
Found the garden of Eden
Dying of the homeland
Searching for the day I was born
I'm starting to forget how beautiful you are.

What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
Maybe you and I could fly the distance
Oh, but I have been way too long.
What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
What we have is not enough,
What we had was meant for luck
We can't give up!

I have listened close to the voices
Singing to the rhythm of my blood
And they're begging me to follow myself home.
Where the air is clear, pure as diamonds
Near the waters with the mermaids sing.
Show me the sunlight burning my candle
Looking in the flames of gold!

What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
Maybe you and I could fly the distance
Oh, but I have been way too long.
What we have is not enough!
What we care to fight for love?
What we have is not enough,
What we had was meant for luck
We can't give up!

I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna run away

" I wanna run away...
I wanna run so far...
But will I ever run from Myself, where Everything is about You...?
I wanna run away...
Away from You, when You are Everywhere...?
Away...
Where...?
Where is that Place which would hide Me from us...? "
~Alluna~
