“ Clocks ” is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It was written and composed as a collaboration among all the members of the band for their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Built around a piano riff, the song features cryptic lyrics concerning themes of contrast and urgency. Several remixes of the track exist, and its riff has been widely sampled. Considered to be one of Coldplay’s signature songs, “Clocks” continues to garner critical acclaim and is often placed on lists ranking the greatest songs of the 2000s and of all time, including being ranked 490th on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list in 2010.

Lyrics


Clocks

The lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
Singin’ come out of things un said
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can’t be named
A tiger’s waiting to be tamed, singin’

You are
You are

Confusion that never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know
Singin’ come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease? Singin’

You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are

And nothing else compares
Oh, no, nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

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
