“Love Song” Discussion
A: Okay so what I thought was he goes into this description and there Is no mention of time, cause I went back and reread and this whole thing is about the moment and he is describing everything in such detail. And it end with, “Curled about the house, and fell asleep.” Which can be him and whoever he is with falling asleep then it transitions into “And indeed there will be time.” And it kind of just talks about how the world will move forward and what you don’t like about time happens. I thought of it as a positive because he was almost escaping time.
B: Okay so he’s just like thinking about everything in this moment so time doesn’t exist anymore
A: Yes
B: So when he says “Let fall upon the its back the soot falls from chimneys.” he almost personifying their sleep. Okay because I kind of saw it as him reflecting on his entire life and how there will be time to do all these things that I want to do but in the end is it worth it? And when he says “let us go then you and I.” maybe he's talking about the afterlife and saying what is the meaning of all of this until you get there. They also talk about Michelangelo, maybe because he’s dead but almost immortalized.
A: He said “Do I dare” often and “how should I should I presume” I don’t know maybe that’s just the uncertainty if it all and like the things like he said let us go and take these risks but he questioned it. Just moments we overlook or miss out on because we don't know how to think. Then he talked about like in line 40 and on “my hair growing thin” “my arms are thin” “do I disturb the universe?” do I question time do I go out even though nature is taking its course
B: And he says indeed there will be time to wonder do I dare like there will be time to think about the things that you should have done and maybe he regrets not doing some of them. Like he says “I have measured my life with coffee spoons” and he know the voices and has kind of been in the background. You know coffee spoons is

    “Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him”.

    The popular song, “Clocks,” was released in 2002 on British alternative rock band Coldplay’s album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Written predominantly by Chris Martin, this song intentionally reveals the thoughts and state of mind of a person undergoing an issue where he must deal with his emotions in his life. Martin’s cryptic lyrics supposedly represent the utter helplessness of the person being in a dysfunctional relationship and not wanting to escape from it. Furthermore, the lyrics of “Clocks” seem to be very contradictory in the narrator’s expression of feeling towards his dismal situation/relationship. Also, the themes discussed in this song include: urgency of living life to its fullest; contrast, as the person struggles to remedy the persistently difficult relationship; and contradiction in regards to his emotions about his role and worth in life and in his lover’s life. “Clocks” also brings about the ideas presented in psychology. For example, the name of Coldplay’s song metaphorically alludes to world’s obsession with time and its government of life, and simultaneously connecting it to the idea of making full use of the time in a lifespan. Fixation, a concept developed by Sigmund Freud, justifies people’s obsession with an attachment to time. Also, time perception is the field of study in psychology that applies to one’s own understanding of the duration of the unlimited unfolding of life’s events. William J. Friedman created the strength model of time memory by which a memory trace is bolstered the more the memory influences emotions. In the song, Martin is losing time to set things right in his relationship before he is mentally consumed by “closing walls and ticking clocks.” In addition, the lines, “The lights go out and I can’t be saved. Tides that I tried to swim against, have brought me down upon my knees,” manifest the psychological concept of self –worth or self-esteem. American psychologist…
