The song is about a mechanical being, a "clock" or a machine, who discovers he has a soul and a hidden dream. In the context of a floating city where time is everything, the protagonist struggles against his nature as a machine, defying fate and trying to break the chains of time. The metal heart, which initially seems cold and inanimate, is fueled by love, which heals and transforms him. The song explores themes of identity, internal struggle and the desire to break free from the constraints of time, as the protagonist finds strength and courage to face his destiny. ### "Tick-tock, tick-tock, the clock strikes the hour, Tick-tock, tick-tock, the gears start to flower" In the heart of a floating city, where time ticks and tocks, Lies a secret, a mystery, a truth no one mocks. Every gear, every spring, they tell me I'm just a machine, But there's something inside, a spark, a dream, unseen. Through the gears and the wires, I hear a distant call, A voice that whispers softly, "You're more than you can see at all." Tick-tock, the gears won't lie, Every second, I'll defy. Though my heart’s made of cold steel, Love’s the fuel I need to heal. Tick-tock, the clock’s my song, But I’ll break the gears where I belong. Let the chaos, let it rrroar— Time’s a lie, and I’m its core! (Tick-tock tick-tock…) (tick-tock tick-tock…) In the shadows, a wraith lurks, with eyes full of despair, He seeks to freeze the moments, to make his pain disappear. But I know deep within me, there’s a strength that will not bend, A light that will guide me, to the end. Through the gears and the wires, I hear a distant call, A voice that whispers softly, "You’re more than you can see at all." Tick-tock, the gears won’t lie, Every second, I’ll defy. Though my heart’s made of cold steel, Love’s the fuel I need to heal. Tick-tock, the clock’s my song, But I’ll break the gears where I belong. Let the chaos, let it rrroar— Time’s a lie, and I’m its core! (Tick-tock tick-tock…) (tick-tock tick-tock…) In the heart of the clockwork, where the past and future meet, I find the courage to stand, to face what I must defeat. With every tick, with every tock, I feel my heart unlock, And I know, I know, I’m not a clock, I’m a soul, I’m a rock. In the heart of the floating city, where time ticks and tocks, I’ve found my purpose, my destiny, my heart now unlocks. Tick-tock, the gears won’t lie, Every second, I’ll defy. Though my heart’s made of cold steel, Love’s the fuel I need to heal.
