Lyrics of Clocks by Coldplay
verse
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, 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
chorus
You are
You are
verse
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
chorus
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
bridge
And nothing else compares
Oh, nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
chorus
You are
You are
outro
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home (you), home, where I wanted to go (are)
Home (you), home, where I wanted to go (are)

Meaning
The song 'Clocks' by Coldplay delves into feelings of confusion, missed opportunities, and the desire for clarity and direction in life. The lyrics use metaphors like 'closing walls and ticking clocks' to convey a sense of being trapped or running out of time, while the repetition of 'You are' emphasizes the search for identity and purpose amidst uncertainty.
