“Clockwork” by Lime Garden – A Song Feature

 

     Lime Garden created a vibe that achieves their goal of simulating repetitiveness and drudgery while still crafting a single that is energizing – not an easily accomplished musical task. The vocals are almost detached from the lyrical message, which goes so far as to incorporate sarcasm in the “yippee” interjection, “I guess I’m romanticizing nothing // Yet again what fun, yippee.” Singer Chloe Howard explained:
   “‘Clockwork’ was written at a time when we were feeling trapped in the cycle of our everyday lives. We wanted to capture that sense of being caught in a continuous loop where emotions sometimes lead us to a dark and frantic mindset.”
 
       “Clockwork” utilizes strong bass and interesting percussion to generate a feel of forward movement in a song that is based on repetition. The press materials state that “Clockwork” spins a harder edge on growing up, laying out the modern anxieties surrounding impending adulthood. Howard said “We’ve grown up being in this band at this time. Somewhat losing that naïve childlike feeling of expecting to feel on top of the world every day”.
 
     Lime Garden is a UK band. The members are Chloe Howard (vocals, synth, guitar), Leila Deeley (lead guitar), Tippi Morgan (bass) and Annabel Whittle (drums).

Lyrics of “Clockwork” by Lime Garden
Wear my crown round a desolate town
Holding onto situations that can’t be seen or found
It’s like clockwork
The way my head hurts
Thinking back on better days
And maybe changing up my ways
 
It’s like clockwork
Don’t you think?
Circles round my head
The ticking time bomb
Keeps me out of bed
 
It’s like clockwork,
Can’t you see?
I guess I’m romanticizing nothing
Yet again what fun, yippee
 
Found out by now
Now the trickling sound
Is a visualized adjustment
Of my inner few pounds
 
It’s like clockwork
The way my head hurts
Thinking back on how we used to laugh
And even sometimes play
 
It’s like clockwork
Don’t you think?
Circles round my head
The ticking time bomb
Keeps me out of bed
 
 
It’s like clockwork,
Can’t you see?
I guess I’m romanticizing nothing
Yet again what fun, yippee
 
Wear my crown
Wear my crown
Wear my crown
Wear my crown
 
It’s like clockwork
Don’t you think?
Circles round my head
The ticking time bomb
Keeps me out of bed
 
It’s like clockwork,
Can’t you see?
I guess I’m romanticizing nothing
Yet again what fun, yippee
 
It’s like clockwork
Don’t you think?
Circles round my head
The ticking time bomb
Keeps me out of bed
 
It’s like clockwork,
Can’t you see?
I guess I’m romanticizing nothing
Yet again what fun will, yippee
 
It’s like clockwork, don’t you think?
It’s like clockwork
It’s like clockwork, don’t you think?
It’s like clockwork, it’s like
It’s like clockwork, it’s like
It’s like clockwork, it’s like
It’s like clockwork, it’s like
It’s like clockwork, it’s like

It's like clockwork
