The song begins with the lyrics “lights go out and I can’t be saved”, which means he recognizes that one day he will die and there is no escaping it. The song title clocks even evokes the structured and limited time we have as humans to live. The two central themes within this story is living life to the fullest and time. However, I think the song is meant to be sung and thought about as if you are the first person in order to full grasp what the artist wanted to portray about human life and taking full advantage of that life. It is important to note that the song is first person and the speaker is singing about himself. To delve deeper in to the meaning of Clocks by Coldplay. Clocks I think is a primer example of a “classic” in that it’s lyrics tell a story of human life and living life to the fullest which is intertwined with an absolutely memorable piano melody that is hard to forget. “Classic” songs should have a story that is relevant to may situations and over time can still be be relatable. To me a “classic” song should be something of a timeless nature that evokes a sense of nostalgia and stands the test of time. The song sounded hopeful like one could defeat all the odds just by listening to the song. It was on ride to my first day of middle school and the song’s infectious piano melody and strong vocals were etched into my brain the entire day. I remember distinctly the first time this song played on the radio. One song in particular by the this band that I feel strongly is a “classic” is Clocks. Coldplay’s mellow tunes and heart-wrenching lyrics speak dearly to a lot of human sadness as well as love and triumph. “Classics” Reflection – “Clocks” by ColdplayĬoldplay to me screams of a band that is essentially an iconic and well known symbol of great music in the alternative rock/rock scene.
