| Coldplay – Clocks Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I am not a fan of Coldplay, however that being said, I stumbled across this song when I was having relationship problems with my wife. Everything he said in the song just was exactly what I was feeling. He is singing about being in a conflicted, but very intense relationship and time is ticking away. When he is singing about "Tides that I have tried to swim against have brought me down upon my knees." That is about trying to do your own thing, your own way and in the end it is not what makes you happy. Going and doing things for himself crushed him in the end, or brought him to his knees. "Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks." He is saying how niether of them are sure and that time is running out for them and he feels the pressure. Later he is questioning if he is a healthy part of the relationship or is he the problem with it. "Am I part of the cure or am I part of the disease." I think that anyone who has been in love and had rough times and doubt can relate to this song. It is definatly one of my all time favorites! | |
