== Inspiration == | |||
It is generally believed that the song is about time, with the line "mechanical hands" referring to the hands of an analogue clock. This is further inferred by the line "do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk", with the front of a watch being called a "face". It is believed to be about how time is "the ruler of everything." | It is generally believed that the song is about time, with the line "mechanical hands" referring to the hands of an analogue clock.
