'Broken Clocks' by Architects is a 2008 track from the album 'Ruin'. The lyrics find the narrator out of touch, stuck in a cycle of dependency and late realisations, insisting that what was hidden has become impossible to conceal. A sense of personal disconnection comes through with the line, “I’m falling out of touch with myself”.

Lyrics

Broken Clocks

[Intro]

Falling into stringencies

I never thought that I would be here

Dependence on the evenings

I'm out of touch

It's too late to hide what you kept hid

What explains with words were crooks

I'm falling out

I'm falling out of touch with myself

[Chorus]

I felt like this since forever

This is killing me

I felt like this since forever

This is killing me

[Verse 1]

What escaped

Was what I dreamt then

Blurry eyes said the stories

I'm broke apart, fading hours, empty dreams

[Bridge]

Addiction has stolen the hearts of all my friends

Addiction has stolen the hearts of all my friends

I wore the same routines over every fucking night

I'm beginning to lose faith in friendships, I

[Chorus]

I felt like this since forever

This is killing me

I felt like this since forever

This is killing me

[Verse 2]

Lift me up from this never ending fear of myself

Dependence on the evenings to get me through

Show me the line, I can't just walk away

[Outro]

How much longer

Can I break the same routines

Blurry eyes, broken clocks, fading hours

How much longer

Can I break the same routines

Blurry eyes, broken clocks, fading hours

Addiction has stolen the hearts of all my friends

Addiction has stolen the hearts of all my friends
