In one sense, he could be referring to the fact that you just can't stop living because you know that you are going to die. The line "I could not stop that you now know" is kinda tricky in my opinion. The begining of the second stanza refers to the fact it's only a matter of time before the walls "close in" on us(death) and take us back home(heaven, reincarnation, whatever you believe in). However, this realization of his own mortality forces him to try and do great things(the tiger's waiting to be tamed). I believe in the opening stanza the writer of the song realizes that he is mortal and that the one truth in his life is that he will die(tides that i tried to swim against). Clcoks is an incredible title because if you think about it, time is very difficult to measure without clocks(and sometimes still difficult to measure). The central theme of this song is time, no doubt. Not to be totally unoriginal, but the lyrics to this song are incredible. He concludes with saying how he misses her, how nothing else can compare to her, and how much he wants to be back with her.īut this of course is just my interpretation lol and i know there are loads of others. He regrets what he did which must have caused the breakupĪnd wishes she would come and take away these waves of misery and regret that are affecting him so badly.Īm i a part of the cure or the disease could be him wondering if he would do any good for her, or if he were to enter her life again would he just make the situation worse. The next part shows more about his discomfort without her, the ticking clocks could just represent how aware he is of the time he is without her. either he just doesnt need words to describe what she means to him, or he in unable to find ones that could ever do her justice. The 'you are' part of the song is quite profound, and quite a philosophical statement (descartes? ) about the existance of man. The trouble that cant be named, are his inexpressible emotions and the tigers that need to be tamed could possibly symbolise the ferocity of his love for which he needs to deal with. 'Tides that I tried to swim against, have put me down upon my knees' The first few lines describe that horrible, unavoidable ( 'i cant be saved' ) time at night, when all the defences you put up during the day, about not thinking about that person, come down. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.I think its a description of how he is left missing his ex after a breakup. Watch Martin’s nostalgic “Clocks” performance on Kimmel above.Ĭoldplay is a Warner Music artist. That will mark Coldplay’s seventh time performing on SNL, among the most appearances of any musical guest in SNL history. Also on Thursday, Saturday Night Live announced that Coldplay will serve as the musical guest on February 4 episode hosted by Pedro Pascal. It’s just one stop on Coldplay’s trip down memory lane in the coming weeks. You guessed it: Martin launched into another performance of “Clocks,” 20 years later. After Kimmel wound it, it started playing “Clocks,” the song that Coldplay performed on January 26, 2003. Martin added that “we’re both really lucky” and thanked Kimmel before apologizing for not having a song to perform because Kimmel called Coldplay “kind of last minute.” He pretended he was there alone without the rest of the band and presented Kimmel with a music box. Kimmel remembered telling Martin during the premiere episode that he and his crew “wanted to have a band on the show that we’d be proud we had on the show in 20 years, and boy, it was the one thing that we got right.” And so, Chris Martin joined Kimmel to commemorate the 20-year anniversary. Coldplay was the long-running talk show’s first-ever musical guest. On January 26, 2003, Jimmy Kimmel Live premiered.

Coldplay is gearing up to continue their Music Of The Spheres Tour, including some recently added US dates.
