Mother May I (Tic Toc) Lyrics

Tic toc, time is up
Tic toc, time is up!

(I know you)
You're the one on the magazine covers and everyone loves ya
(Such a star)
You're the one everyone wants to be like, but no one can be

Mother may I have a moment?
Feel I've come undone
Can you stop me from this spinning?
Nowhere left to run

Special's a term that they use
To describe someone
When they're afraid to admit that they're right!

(I see you)
You're the one that's in all of the movies, on everyone's TV's
(Such a farce)
You're convinced that your shit doesn't stink
And we all should adore you

Father can you stop this bleeding?
Hate what we've become
I've turned my cheek so many times
Fear I'm almost done!

Death is a term that they use
To describe something they can't accept
Because it comes with a price!

Tic toc
Tic toc

Grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Father can you stop this bleeding?
Hate what we've become
I've turned my cheek so many times
Fear I'm almost done!

What is the Meaning of Mother May I (Tic Toc)?

This hard-hitting track is a critique of the superficiality and vanity that often come with fame and success. The lyrics reflect a sense of disillusionment with the celebrity culture, where individuals are idolized for their image rather than their substance. The repeated pleas to "Mother" and "Father" suggest a longing for guidance and sanity in a world that seems to have lost its moral compass. The song also explores themes of personal struggle and inner turmoil, as evidenced by lines like "Feel I've come undone" and "Hate what we've become". Ultimately, it's a call for authenticity, humility, and wisdom in a society obsessed with appearances.
