I know that there're many ways to interpret the lyrics of a song. I read an interpretation of the song Clocks by Coldplay on lyricinterpretations which is very close to my own interpretation. So if you don't understand why I picked this one you should read it :)
Clocks
He was still standing there. In the middle of his office. Unable to move. Puzzled and frustrated.
He blinked as if he had a daydream and the blinking would take him back to earth. Unfortunately an annoying, high-pitched voice tore him away and took him back into reality.
"What a bug!"
He looked to his side and rolled his eyes. This has never happened! Again!
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"Well this girl. Really, how pathetic can a girl be? And have you seen what she was wearing? Gosh! Who does she think she is?" Kendra tried to kiss him but he shoved her away.
"Actually she was my almost fiancé." He said annoyed.
"Oh! So you dumped her, right? Good decision. You deserve better."
God! Was she really so stupid? He ran his hands through his hair and groaned.
"Go!" he muttered.
"What?" She looked at him questioningly.
"Go!" He shouted. "Get out of my sight!"
"But.." she looked at him in disbelief.
"Seriously! I want you to get the hell out of here and don't come back." He opened the door for her and showed her the way out. Shaking her head she moved out of the room and he slammed the door.
He walked up to his desk and opened the box. He stared at one of the pictures from the Life and Deathbrigade event. If he had seen at that time what he was seeing now..
They looked as if they were already head over heels in love with each other. He noticed some written words on the back of the photo but can't remember it was there before. He turned it around.
Did you see what I see?
He grabbed his jacket and walked out of his office. He noticed the curious glances of the stuff but he ignored them.
"I'm out for the day." He said to Jane and left the building. He didn't know where to go but he knew that he didn't want to go in his empty apartment,
so he just walked down the street aimlessly trying to collect his thoughts.
He didn't know what had happened the day before and now he have to deal with this strange situation in his office and Rorys confessions.
She turned down the Times.. But even if she did it for him, it didn't let him forget what he was going through since he turned him down..
Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing
He was still hurt and angry. Seeing her brought back everything. The nights in his old apartment, waiting for her to come back. The first nights in California. Alone. The feeling of rejection and not knowing why. God! Did she even know what he was going through? Did she really think she could come back in his life, apologize, and they could go on like nothing ever happened? Sure, she wanted to talk and he didn't but he wasn't ready. He didn't expect her so he wasn't ready for this talk but after a long discussion with his little friend called Scotch he finally thought it was the best for both of them to talk about this mess. But he forgot Kendra and after Rorys little riot in his office he assumed that ship has already sailed.
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing
You are
You are
Yes she had the right to be mad because of Kendra. It wasn't his best idea but he told Kendra to get his stuff right after he left the house. It was a stupid decision based on pain and anger. Maybe he wanted to hurt her. Maybe he wanted her to see that his life was going on. With or without her. His pride won the fight against the truth. He didn't want her to know his life was miserable without her, that he didn't look at any brunette without thinking of her. He could understand what Rory was thinking but was she expecting him living like a priest. He did, but that didn't matter. She didn't have the right to be mad at him because she was thinking he had someone else. Of course Kendra wasn't anything else than his assistant. He used to know her since years. She was the daughter of some of his father's friends and that's why he had given her an internship. They only went out twice since she was here and it was only another pathetic effort to go on. He didn't even sleep with her. He tried but it didn't work. His mind always drifted to Rory. He saw something, wanted to say something funny 'til he realized Kendra wouldn't understand because she wasn't Rory. And obviously she's really stupid. But in the end, it wasn't Rorys business anymore. She had left him. For nothing.
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing
Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing
The whole nights he was thinking. Thinking about her, about himself, about the what ifs, about this whole mess. When he couldn't sleep he thought about calling her. But he didn't. When he was at the airport he thought about flying to her. But he didn't know where she was so he didn't. He didn't. And she didn't either. Until now. But instead of talking and figuring out he yelled, she cried and then she yelled and he was speechless.
You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
Did you see what I see?
He saw it. And he missed it.
He looked at his watch. He didn't notice it was getting dark already. Thinking of Rory let him forget the time. He sighed. Maybe another chat with his little friend wouldn't hurt.
You are
You are
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
So this was short and nothing really happened but the next one will be longer and they I think with a little more dialogue :)
