Lyrics of the song "Clocks" by Coldplay, complete with translation

There is a sense of urgency and confusion reflected in the lyrics, as if there is an important decision to be made.

Brilio.net - The song "Clocks" by Coldplay, released in 2002 as part of the album "A Rush of Blood to the Head," has become one of the most iconic songs from the British band. With its distinctive piano melody and meaningful lyrics, "Clocks" has managed to attract the attention of listeners around the world. This article will discuss the meaning behind the song in easy-to-understand language.

One of the main themes in "Clocks" is time. The song's title itself, "Clocks," directly refers to this element. Time is described as something that continues to move forward, no matter what happens. The lyrics reflect the feeling of being caught in the inescapable flow of time, where one feels as if one is running against a ticking clock.

Uncertainty is also an important element in this song. There is a sense of urgency and confusion reflected in the lyrics, as if there is an important decision to be made, but there is not enough time to think it through. This can be interpreted as a reflection of the fast-paced modern life, where the pressure to make quick decisions often clouds judgment.

The lights go out and I can't be saved
The lights went out and I couldn't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
The ups and downs I try to fight
Have brought me down upon my knees
Has brought me to my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
Oh, I beg you, I beg you and I beg you
Singin' come out of things unsaid
Singing out of things left unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
Shoot the apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
And the unnamable problem
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singin'
A tiger waiting to be tamed, singing

You are
You are
You are
You are

Confusion that never stops
The confusion that never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Closing the walls and the clock ticking
Gonna come back and take you home
Will come back and take you home
I couldn't stop that you now know
I can't stop that you now know
Singin' come out upon my seas
Sing over my ocean
Cursed missed opportunities
A wasted opportunity
Am I a part of the cure
Am I part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singin'
Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are
You are
You are
You are

You are
You are
You are
You are

You are
You are
You are
You are

And nothing else compares
And there is nothing to compare
Oh, no, nothing else compares
Oh no, there's nothing to compare it to.
And nothing else compares
And nothing can compare

You are
You are
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
Home, home, where I wanted to go
