Rendez-Vous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tides that I tried to swim against
brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing
You are, you are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know, singing
Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities am I
A part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, You are
And nothing else compares
Oh nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are, you are
ta ta ra...
you are, you are
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
You Are
You Are
Clocks by Rendez-Vous is a song that explores the theme of confusion and isolation. The first verse starts with the lights going out which leaves the singer in a state of despair. The tides that the singer tried to swim against have eventually brought them down upon their knees. The singer begs and pleads for something to come out of things unsaid. The singer wants to break free from the trouble that can't be named, which is represented by the tiger waiting to be tamed in the lines. The chorus tells someone specific that "you are, you are" with nothing else to compare.
The second verse starts with confusion never stopping, represented here by the closing walls and ticking clocks. The singer sings of being taken back home, unable to stop what's about to happen. As the singer sets sail upon the seas, they ask themselves if they are a part of the cure or the disease. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that there is no comparison to the person that the artist is singing to. The song ends with a repetition of "You are" with the addition of the words "home, home, where I wanted to go."

Lights go out and I can't be saved
I feel helpless and stuck as darkness engulfs me
Tides that I tried to swim against brought me down upon my knees
I struggled against something seemingly impossible, and it defeated me
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
I am desperate for help, to the point of begging and pleading
Come out of things unsaid
Let's have an honest conversation and discuss things we've been avoiding
Shoot an apple off my head and a Trouble that can't be named
This is a risky action, and there is an unidentifiable problem that needs solving
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing
There is a challenge that awaits, and I am ready to tackle it
Confusion never stops
I feel lost and uncertain, and it never seems to end
Closing walls and ticking clocks gonna Come back and take you home
Time is running out, and you will eventually have to face the consequences of your actions
I could not stop, that you now know, singing
I was unable to prevent something from happening, and you need to understand that
Come out upon my seas
Explore something vast and unknown with me
Cursed missed opportunities am I
I regret the chances I didn't take, and it haunts me
A part of the cure Or am I part of the disease, singing
I am questioning whether I am part of the solution or the problem
Nothing else compares You are, you are
You are special and unique, and there is nothing else like you
Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
You are my desired destination and my sense of belonging
You Are
You are all that matters to me

Six o'clock in the morning wipe the sleep from my eyes
Felt just like an ordinary day
Just around the corner, such a surprise a beautiful angel materialized
Time stood still, face to face
I'm sure we'd meet in another time and place
Our eyes met as you passed me by
Two souls entwined in the blink of an eye
And I had to figure out what I'd be missing
So I turned to you and asked if you wanted to
Rendezvous went to my place say two and we can do anything you want to do
Hey, tonight is your night yeah
When you close your eyes, take a minute, take a moment, realize
Do you see me when you fantasize
Tonight'll be your night
I'm just sitting here daydreaming about you and all the things you do
Girl feels so right
And all I know is you're the one for me, that special kinda'lady
In my life, in my life
Well here I am writing you a love song
Holding back those years, its been so long
And I can't deny the way that I'm feeling
It's true, so girl that's why I'm asking you, can we
Rendezvous went to my place say two and we can do anything you want to do
Hey, tonight is your night yeah
When you close your eyes, take a minute, take a moment, realize
Do you see me when you fantasize
Tonight'll be your night
Darling tell me, what's on your mind?
What you thinking?
Hey what you thinking? what you thinking?
Darling tell me what's on your mind?
What's on your mind? yeah
Darling what are you thinking?
Now darling what are you thinking
Rendezvous went to my place say two and we can do anything you want to do
Hey, tonight is your night yeah
When you close your eyes, take a minute, take a moment, realize
Do you see me when you fantasize
Tonight'll be your night
I'm just sittin' here daydreaming about you and all the things you do
Girl feels so right
And all I know is you're the one for me, that special kinda'lady
In my life, in my life
