[Intro] [Verse] Temptation rears it’s ugly head upside again I guess that at this point I’ll treat it as a friend I got your call let’s have a ball when they go to bed Lock the door we’re on the floor the starving will be fed [Chorus] Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve [Verse 2] Peace on Earth the peace on Earth is all I really need The rich man with their bags and loot well that’s just chicken feed But I got gold and truth be told it’s not just in my teeth This is good and quite worth it whatever lies beneath [Chorus 2] Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve [Solo] [Verse 3] When or where the power of the countdown does begin I can’t wait to seal my fate oh god the shape I’m in The tractor pulls? Oh that’s for fools on a Friday night Whatever’s wrong in the world right now let’s just make it right [Chorus 3] Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve Grandfather clock strikes twelve [Outro] / /

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la tentation et des désirs qui refont surface, transformant ces luttes internes en quelque chose de presque amical. L'artiste évoque des moments de fête et de libération, tout en critiquant les inégalités matérielles qui existent dans le monde. Il cherche la paix intérieure et souligne que les vérités profondes sont souvent plus précieuses que les richesses superficielles. Le contexte semble s'ancrer dans une réflexion sur le passage du temps, symbolisé par l'horloge qui sonne minuit. Ce moment pourrait représenter un tournant, une occasion d'affronter ses peurs et de résoudre les injustices qui nous entourent.
