Clockwork
deadmau5 Lyrics

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
The continuous ticking of a clock representing the passage of time.

I'm not disconnected, I'm not unaware
I am fully present and engaged in my surroundings.

I'm in one place at one time
I am focused on the present moment and not distracted by the past or future.

I'm neither here nor there
I am not physically present in multiple places at once, but rather mentally focused on where I currently am.

I'm hooked to the mainstream
I am connected to society and popular culture.

Tuned into the world
I am aware of and paying attention to the world around me.

Plugged into my surroundings
I am fully present and engaged with my environment.

Not out on a limb
I am not taking any risks or making any radical decisions.

I'm thinking in a straight line
I am able to think clearly and logically without distractions or interruptions.

I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine
I believe that my thoughts and ideas are original and unique to me.

My heart is beating, oh so fast
I am feeling intense emotions and excitement.

I feel the hours crushing down
I am aware of the passing of time and the pressure to accomplish things within a certain timeframe.

And my mind feels time like clockwork
My mind is acutely aware of the passage of time and how it relates to my life and experiences.

And I think in sync like clockwork
My thoughts and beliefs are in alignment with the passage of time and the world around me.

She's done away with emotion
She has stopped feeling or expressing emotions and is now logical and analytical.

She sees things clearly now
She has gained a new perspective and is no longer clouded by emotions or biases.

She says she sees it all from her room
She is able to observe the world and gain a new perspective from a distance.

And it looks so small from her room
Her new perspective has made the world and its problems seem less overwhelming and more manageable.

It's alright, it's alright
Everything is going to be okay, there is no need to worry.

I'm on your side for a while
I am here to support and help you through a difficult time.

She thinks the time is a concept
She believes that time is a human construct and does not have inherent meaning or value.

Which we measure our age
We use time as a way to quantify or measure our lifespan and experiences.

She wants to say it again
She wants to express her beliefs or ideas one more time before time runs out.

But she don't have time
There is not enough time to express all of her thoughts and ideas.

Because her mind keeps time like clockwork
Her mind is acutely aware of the passage of time and how it relates to her life and experiences.

Count the hours, count the months and minutes
We often measure our lives by the passage of time, from hours to years.

You're born in the tears and you'll die in pain that's your limit
Human existence is marked by suffering and hardship from birth to death.

You're lookin' for some nasty reason
You are searching for a negative reason or explanation for something.

But there's no one there, why don't you admit?
There is no one else to blame or hold responsible, so accept responsibility for your own actions and thoughts.

We'll make the most of what we've got
We should focus on making the most of our current situation and resources rather than wishing for something else.

That's the ticket, my, my, my
That is the solution or way forward, and it is a good one.

I stayed in that room a long, long time
I spent a considerable amount of time in that room, observing and reflecting.

And watched the seasons gliding by
I observed the passage of time through the changing of the seasons.

And hey, what's the matter?
Why are you upset or distressed?

We've got time, lots of time
We have an abundance of time and should not feel rushed or pressured.

We'll wind up, we'll slow down
Our pace and speed will vary over time.

We'll speed up, we'll go down
Our progress and rate of change will be inconsistent.

And we'll maybe overwind
We might go too fast or try to accomplish too much, potentially causing harm or damage.

Because my mind feel time like clockwork
My mind is acutely aware of the passage of time and how it relates to my life and experiences.

And I think in sync like clockwork, oh, oh, oh
My thoughts and beliefs are in alignment with the passage of time and the world around me.

When the minds feel time like clockwork
When our minds are acutely aware of the passage of time and how it relates to our lives and experiences.

Oh, we'll think in sync like clockwork
Our thoughts and beliefs will be in alignment with the passage of time and the world around us.
