Original Lyrics
Translation in Italian

verse

The lights go out, and I can′t be saved
Le luci si spengono e non posso essere salvato
Tides that I tried to swim against
Le maree contro le quali ho provato a nuotare
Have brought me down upon my knees
Mi hanno messo in ginocchio
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Oh imploro, imploro e supplico, cantando
Come out of things unsaid
Vien fuori dalle cose non dette
Shoot an apple off my head, and a
Spara via una mela dalla mia testa ed un
Trouble that can't be named
Problema che non può essere nominato
A tiger′s waiting to be tamed, singing
Una tigre aspetta di essere domata, cantando

chorus

You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei

verse

Confusion never stops
Una confusione non si ferma mai
Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna
Muri che si chiudono e orologi che ticchettano, vanno
Come back and take you home
Torna e ti porto a casa
I could not stop that you now know, singing
Non potrei fermarmi quello che ora conosci, cantando
Come out upon my seas
Esco sui miei mari
Cursed missed opportunities
Ho maledetto opportunità mancate
Am I a part of the cure?
Sono parte della cura
Or am I part of the disease? Singing
O sono parte della malattia? Cantando

chorus

You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei

bridge

And nothing else compares
E nient'altro è paragonabile
Oh, nothing else compares
Oh no, niente si può comparare
And nothing else compares
E nient'altro è paragonabile

chorus

You are
Tu sei
You are
Tu sei

outro

Home, home, where I wanted to go
A casa, a casa è dove voglio andare
Home, home, where I wanted to go
A casa, a casa è dove voglio andare
Home (you), home, where I wanted to go (are)
A casa, (tu) a casa e' dove voglio andare (sei)
Home (you), home, where I wanted to go (are)
A casa, (tu) a casa e' dove voglio andare (sei)

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.
