This video showed me that everyone needs to enjoy their younger years before the clock is broken which means it time for adulthood. That why she used summer as an example because we never want it to end. We want to live in the moment and burn daylight before it to late. To late cuz we have pieces and pages (bills). Working a job that doesn't value u. Enjoy your life strangers, live it up to the potential. :)
u deep af sis :) luh this
Haha thank you! You have a nice day:)
Thank you everyone for the likes as well😍. Live your life full of no regrets!
itd
The only way this makes sense
I hate summer it’s hot and nothing but bugs and insects.
BITCCCCCHHHHH FINALLLYYYY
Ohhveraa 👌💯🔥
RIGHT!!!
yass
WIIIIGGGGG
Ohhveraa I KNOW RIGHT
Enjoy your youth while you can it goes by fast
nice checkmark
my youth rn is just staying home all day everyday bc its summer
*Youth is forever if we cherish our bodies now and care for it.*
Well that's depressing
@@nombi1892 very depressing.. Sad
i think the message behind this song is beautiful, and resonates with many.
the sense of the struggle of trying to break from old habits - such as leaving a toxic relationship, trying to not be late to work, trying to stop going back to the strip club - and how the struggle is similar to trying to read the time from *broken clocks*.
it also can be seen as feeling as though you are losing time, and wasting it all because it feels as though you can’t do anything with your life. we all feel as though our lives are slipping away like the sand in an hourglass, or the time on *broken clocks*.
either way, each of the messages show us losing *control/ctrl* of our lives - and that, as a whole, represents the entire album. how control is a concept we seem to all be chasing, however impossible it may be. we will never have control. and the poignancy within that, is what writes the lyrics and characterises the flow of sza’s music.
Only thing we control are emotions how we react to what happens ✨😎
This comment deserves way more attention. You described it perfectly and the way sza would describe it too
👏👏👏 B-E-A UTIFULLY SAID💋😘❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
And yes I agree totally and I still go back and listen to her song which has a message in it all
Dude the grammys!!! Remember when she play that song? My life change, cause of sza
LOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE THIS
I appreciate your aesthetic SO SO much, especially what it represents for BLACK women.
your creative vision, your quicky awkwardness, your fashion sense ect. ect.
when i was younger i feel like "blackness" was something i wasn't allowed to identify with
because i always wanted to do "alternative/white ppl things" (w/e that means)
Like go to sleep away camp or jump in a lake a at whim (without repercussion of getting cursed out lol)
This video reminds me of the nostalgia i feel for those times i wish i could have been more FREE.
hopefully this makes sense.
go awffffff. im routing for you sis
sade watkins :I agree so much. Your comment is what the whole notion of #blackboyjoy #blackgirljoy is about. feeling free in our worlds when we’re typically made to feel so many restrictions.
sade watkins yaasss! I love this comment. Because that how I feel sometimes. Mostly being judge by people, usually your own people too.
Mysteriousthesinger dont try to erase blackness Foh
This is literally the reason we birthed the arthoe movement. White people stole it and stripped it meaning tho, #dissapointedbutnotsurprised.
sade watkins for coloured girls
SZA is so #BlackGirlMagic ❤🖤💚
The girl who screamed "WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP" is freaking iconic!
Need that to be my alarm
Frrr
Yup
Y'all never seen School Daze lmao.. Guess I'm gettin' old ✌🏼&🙏🏼💯
Fr though lol I love Sza 🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯
ANYONE LISTENING TO THIS LEGENDARY SONG IN JULY 2024⁉⁉🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
As an ex stripper who grew up going to Girl Scout camps getting in fights in strip clubs and getting fired this video and song always brings me to tears. This video/song reminds me of the joy of being little and feeling the joy of nature and friends, only to grow up and being forced into a bitter harsh world, and realizing time is of the essence and turning my life around from beautiful pain into redemption. Now I’m expecting my first child 👶🏾 and my life is so much different, but I don’t regret any of it because it all made me who I am today. How the time has flown by....
❤️❤️❤️
That kid will have an amazing mom with incredible taste. And I’m sure great stories to tell. ❤️❤️
You are going to be a amazing mom. Do u know the gender yet?
i can't wait to read your book
@@nopessme9186 I found out the gender today I’m having a boy 🥰
CTRL was literally the most perfect album
I loved it but I don’t think it’s perfect
Ctrl and hot pink are my all time favorites

SZA is one of the greatest artists of our generation
she's 35
@@jadageorge6801 no she isn’t she’s 31 💀 and what does her age have to do with anything?
@@briii4742 I think they think the original comment is saying sza is one of the best artists in our generation as in zoomer millennial and x and boomer, when they're actually saying one if the best artists of this decade
@@briii4742I hate TH-cam comments!!! 😂
when she wakes up from her dreams of the past to her real job felt so relatable it dead ass made me start to cry
Fr 🥹
Frrr😢😢
One word:
ART🌹
Love how deep and meaningful the songs are and how playful and lighthearted the videos are
YÁDI the perfect balance 🖤
This is my favorite song of hers
Did you finish the video?? lmao
This one took sort of a dark turn in the end tho
Zack Abrams yeah sis but the whole concept of this video is playful, the ending is deep and meaningful but the whole idea of it is playful
Hello!! Anyone 2024⬇️
Mee😊😊😊
MEeeEe
Mee❤❤
Me
Yessss
Soooo we not gone speak how sza put the next name of next album in the song !!! “Sos you gotta wake up “
Was literally thinking the same thing
reaching a bit but funny
prob a nickname for solana which is her real name
It is her nickname.
I don’t even know how Sza comes up with this. The aesthetics of this are so beautiful, she’s a living legend.
OMG RIGHTTTTTT
wig flew
How could you not
AretiSophia and my friend says she hates her because she "makes being a side chick good" but no it's not true
Cat's World! you better tell her tf off, sza is not a side chick
THIS WAS A LOOOONG TIME COMING ! 😍
WORTH EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Btw that girl at *1:05* from Khalid's “Young, Dumb & Broke” ?
Sumukh yeah
I9
This song felt so good back then & it feels so warm now. Some of the best memories were made to this song!
Cried while watching and hearing this. Being an adult really means you got no time, only broke clocks. I hate being an adult
“WAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!”
UuUUUUuUuUuUuUuUuUpPpP
Yessssssssssssssss
STOP YELLING 😳
@Mickia Jackson same. i loved this vid at that very moment🤗💗
4:00
Dont anyone else miss the time when we all use to run around outside and play and junk like there was no tomorrow or is it just me
Naw you right. Watching this is like watching a clip of my childhood all over again. Love it man smh❤❤
No worries ...then life happens 😔
It's sad to think about this now
I wasted some of my youth for school.
Some people just need a reality check because welcome to the real world.
Now no one goes outside and just roughs it out. We are too comfortable in our internet world. I think even going out just for a bike ride or hitting a trail (no internet) is healthy. Sitting around a campfire..talking shit out. All of that...makes me wish I went to Camp :/
I love that theres deeper meaning to her songs and they are so unique. You can tell she put effort and real feeling into her songs.
Growing up with strict parents and not having a taste of being with other children nor genuinely being happy as a teen is one thing that breaks me
Literally Just woke up one day and had to work ,no teenage years nothing…. just living in complete sadness having a hard time finding myself🙂
At least such songs gave me a little joy
same here 😔
🙏bless your soul
I know how you feel 💯
Felt this
Same here. I never had a sleepover, go to anyone's birthday party, went straight back home from school back then. I hate it

Watching Sza's videos are keeping me calm while being so excited for the new album on Friday. S.O.S.
Son: „Dad, why is my sister called rose?“
Dad:“Cause your mom love roses.“
Son:“Ok, thanks dad!“
Dad:“You’re welcome, SZA - Broken Clocks.“
Huh?
@@HorridSosa They named the sister roses because their mom loved roses so the dad named the son SZA broken clocks because he likes it. Get with the program LMAO

BIG FACTS
Preach
im waiting for a whole movie
zannkke DEADASS YO
zannkke go on Twitter and it @sza you should do a film bout camp Ctrl with her in it
im sayin
Gianna Diaz yes this song, Wavy, Normal Girl and 20 Something’s should all be in it. Oh and put in Pretty Little Bird since I peeped Isaiah Rashad in this vid😏
I love how in the end she still has good friends who support her. This video made me so emotional. It sucks to see kids who have so much potential and life, end up in situations as adults no mother would wish for them. Sza's songs have some of the most real and relatable messaging for young females. She's like a bigger sister who's telling us to learn from her mistakes.
Life when this song came out>>

Facts
listening to this again and finally understanding the meaning got me in tears. Im just 17 but I already feel lost. Adults really screaming into your ear to have high ambitions but it really hurts when you know you'll never achieve them as you grow older. pray i can still change my future skskjsk
edit: I’m 20 now and unfortunately pursuing a degree I’m not passionate about. Life has its ups and downs. I met the right people, and cut off the wrong ones. I sound so old now, but life gets better as you learn from your mistakes :) It won’t go the way you want, but it’s up to you to redirect your path!
P.S thank you for all the love and advice given within these 3 years. I’ll try to make it to 3 more ❤️ hope you all do too
Aint nothing worth having going to come easy. My son 13. Just trying to prepare yall. Oh, this song 🔥💯!
... you don't KNOW anything. just FYI ... and if you do... try KNOWING that you will achieve whatever you want. Might not look how you wanted it to, but if you really wanna do it... you could. Trust me... =) keep your head up. At 17 I was the same way, and im older than that now. [80's baby. still here. still achieving]
You will achieve whatever YOU want baby...don't let nobody tell you differen or discourage you from what you want to do. I'm 38 yrs old, in school, with 2 kids....we meaning (me and you) got this boo! Hold on to your faith and never let go 💪
You’re gonna feel lost for a long ass time. Embrace that. Don’t stress over little stuff. People change their major and their life routes all the time at all kinds of ages. Just focus on knowing who YOU are first. That’s the most important thing that nobody teaches you
M J I'm literally in the same boat with you it's my senior year and I feel like every adult in my life is trying to push me to figure out my life rn. It sucks because I'm watching my childhood fly away and I don't feel prepared to grow up yet.
That’s my GIRL

My girlfriend you put it right

5 years and still going strong ❤ on REPEAT!😂
When someone says nobody is perfect, I remind them that SZA exists
This song honestly should’ve been bigger than The Weekend. I love this song so much, it’s so much passion in it.
At the time we haven't heard something like the weekend in so long. So it blew up even more. Now I like every song on the album but back then the weekend was a stand out.
Bruhhh this whole album was fire but real talk I vibe with this way harder. Weekend visuals were exquisite tho.
Can’t we have them both be as successful? Why only settle for one? ;)
Saaaaaaame😱💚
can we all agree this is her best song
The song is called Broken Clocks. “All I got is these broken clocks, I ain’t got no time just burning daylight.” She’s at Camp Ctrl having a blast, not worried about a thing, living like we used to as kids. Time is not a factor, just burning daylight. Having real life, adult struggles but taking the day off and just chilling. Also, the girl who knocked her out represents life knocking you down. While she was down she took some time to just chill out (Broken Clocks). That’s what I take from the video.
“I moved on for the better, you moved on to whoever” gets me every time
This song is so complex and beautiful. Truly a work of art. Also can we talk about how amazing all of her music videos are?
*"All that I've got, pieces and pages, talking a lot, sorry I'm faded, think I forgot, you love me"*
One of the best and my favourite lyrics of all time hands down 🙂😌
😺
iDE what does it mean exactly
Kawaii Panda ^
yo I read those lyrics while it played
iDE as I was reading this that verse came on and I was like wahhhhh
Damn a whole year ago today 😥 time went by fast 🤦🏽♀️

Stg
Ikr!
Fr kinda surreal
Treasure love almost two years...
I wish this was my youth....fun times, never bored, everyone getting along and friends. This is what I want in my childhood now
It's never too late tho, u can still spend time with ur friends. Unless ur still quarantined ofc
this came out in such an amazing time. Summer 2018 was great and this song was what got me through it. Still on repeat. Can't express my love for sza and ctrl. Ctrl has to be one of my favourite albums in the 10s
when sza said "been about three years since i dated you, why you still talking about me like we're together? i moved on to the better, you moved on to whoever" *I FELT THAT SHIT*
DonYelle and Diana lol my name diana
bitches too!!
I feel like SZA completely disregards the lyrics in her music and just does whatever for the music video. That being said I love the carefree aesthetics ❤️.
yeah like at the end it all makes sense. the last minute of the video fits the meaning of the song very well
Also, she used to work in a strip clup as a waitress. She said this song is about that experience.
that's called conceptual art
and poetic metaphor
This goes with the song lol . I'm starting to think y'all can't interpret music.
Audiophile fact, the atmospheric sample you hear throughout the track, beginning at :13 seconds, is also used in Mac Miller's - ROS. Both of which are quite wonderful. Cheers
They both sampled west by river river and Daniel Caesar!
2024 ppl where yall at?
PLOT TWIST!!! The ending shocked me🙈... get concept to the song though👏🏼🙌🏼💕
Kasia Dean What’s your interpretation of the end? I’m thinking maybe the camp scenes were her reminiscing on childhood nostalgia, when things were carefree and innocent...before she had to enter the cutthroat world of exotic dancing. Maybe it was a yearning for her return to the times when everything was simple, but all she has is broken clocks so she can’t go back. 🤷🏾♀️
Amari Inasad That makes a lot of sense.
sza love it you don't stop singing this my song go girl I wish I can sing like that audrey
She had enough of so many things but we can‘t get enough of SZA 🔥
Yes!!!
She never fails us on her music
I swear alot of people sleeping on this girl!! Soo talented, beautiful voice, soo much meaning behind her songs 🥰 I love her!! 😍😍
"I moved on for the better, you moved on to whoever"...felt that shit in my soul bruh...
ScHoolboy Q the guy in the cafeteria giving out food, Ab-Soul the dude who kisses the girl throughout the whole video, Jay Rock the guard at 2:55 and Isaiah is next to SZA on the bus scene.. I love it
Laxap Sulo Never would've noticed anyone. Sosa is slick
I think he is kissing Jhene aiko and she also has that guy from Penatronix in here.
She got Zay to do that jump too lol
J Love Nah that’s his girlfriend Yaris one of the baddest women on the planet
J Love ion think big Sean would go for that lol that’s Soul’s girl
I cannot believe that I have sleeping on SZA ALL THIS TIME! Oh but best believe I' m woke tf up now frfr! At this point, I can't get enough of this talented sista and find myself feenin' for errythang she does! Yeah, Imma fan.........a BIG ONE! 😍
Who still listening to this in 2024 😂
I do
Just now
Me
Haha me
Sign me up for camp ctrl, I ain’t doing anything this summer anyways!!
TDE is like a family, love it
QC is no where near as close as TDE is they literally are a family. Next probably A$AP mob
nah for me TDE is still the best correct me if i'm wrong i haven't heard any complaints any misunderstandings any fights that broke out they keep it real even with the new guys they have just signed
So many, "Is that...?" moments 😂
wait what makes you say that?
may 2024 gang ?
This song makes me feel both happy and sad at the same time
I WANNA GO TO CAMP CTRL
ME TOO TF
haha sameee

ME
ania Me too!!!! I WANT TO SEE SZA IF SHE WAS STAYING THERE
ania same
At least this video met more expectations than The Weekend, because this is my favorite one off the album ❤
Facts
Dopy same
Makes more sense with the song too. Especially since she was k.oed in a strip club and dreaming bout having fun. I wanna see prom though
nobody seems to get the weekend video. warning, a whole book report (not really) is coming your way when you press “read more”.
the whole entire song is about her (SZA) being a side chick. the lyrics after the first chorus are “i gotta say i’m in the mood for a little bit more of that, i mean i’m saying what kinda deal is two days? i need me at least ‘bout four of them, more of them, more you, on me, on us, just tell me you want me, yeah”
she misses “her” man, but since she cant interfere with his main relationship, she can’t do anything about it. she feels seductive, but again, can’t do anything. therefore, she’s dancing around in lingerie in isolation. she wants to “satisfy” him, but can’t, and is feeling alone. hence, the video.
This album stamped a very special time in my life. 19. Summer in California. Stupidly in love. Cruising down the car towards the sunset. Sza, I love you
Five years later and still a TOTAL bop
Seriously the visuals 😍😍😍
Sza:im not doing this shit no more
Her friend:omgod she knocked you tf out... let me see you face still look cute boo
😂😂😭❤❤im weak
Friendships like that
Sza is pure class.
Love her music!

I feel this deeply as a Millennial. The beginning tribute to Spike Lee's "School Daze." The camp vibes that we all got from either going to camp, or watching Nickelodeon's "Hey Dude." And we can't forget the feeling of losing ourselves from always working on end, relationship drama, and nostalgia of everything. The most sleep she's gotten was from that TKO; and the most supportive time was being a kid.
Keiva Young the k you cause boy o boi I was not very on the vid
The nostalgia of everything. You hit the nail on the head
Keiva Young exactly
Yes. Good to see someone young caught that reference.
Yeah, my mom got me hooked. If you've got any recommendations of that era, i'd love to hear.
3 years later, if you're watching this, you're a legend.
thank u, sza for making my life more better. listening to your songs is like a free therapy. love u and I appreciate your music

She got knocked out by some girl at the strip club she worked at. In the song she is talking about hard work, getting through the day, working shorty jobs and how hard it is. She also mentions a strip club. That’s where the ending comes into the song. When she got knocked out, she dreamed of being free and having fun at a camp and having innocence and her life back, she dreamed of what she really wanted. Then she wakes up at the end to see she is still at the strip club and she finds out what happened to her and that the camp was a dream. It has to do with the song because they both talk about hard work, life struggles, wanting to be free and working shitty jobs.
Bee I'm glad you gave your interpretation, I was just lost lol. I understood the strip club part but the whole camp thing... I just thought it was just her wanting to be outside because she just likes to be outside all the time.😂😂😂
th-cam.com/video/7l5Qx7NYWPc/w-d-xo.html
Dope interpretation! :)
Thank you cause I was totally lost on the video. I'm like what does the camp has to do with the song
Bee best comment! So deep
oh this song just never gets old! i’ve been listening to it so much these days, i was thinking how much i can’t wait for summer to begin and listen to it again. i want to create sooo many nice memories with this song playing in the back. i hope this year’s summer can be kind to all of us 🧡
Love her voice man
She got both her besties in the video. I love this
She has her other one too, Leigh
Ikr
Indigo Reign where
The Broken Clock concept represents the idea of stopping time so someone won’t grow up to quick. The camp scene represents her childhood reality and the strip club represents her adult reality. The girl saying wake up at camp is the idea of being told wake up for the morning as kid and the girl saying wake in the strip club shows her being told to wake up after being knocked out it shows the difference of wake as a child to being told wake up in adult life.
I see you Dre
Say it a little louder for the folks in the back
Also, it's a throwback to "School Daze" by Spike Lee when one of the characters yelled "Wake uuuuuup!" at the end (maybe the beginning, too, I'm not sure. I haven't watched it in a while). It's like a wake up call to reality or to the idea of letting time go by and you don't enjoy life.
yes exactly!
Dré Jackson thanks for bringing that home. Cause when I first saw it I'm like....huh. lol
I love SZAAAA so much omgggggg 😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
This whole album is a masterpiece. I love how well the mv was put together, SZA just never misses imo.
I was literally thinking yesterday why she never released a video for this song.......... *My prayers are answered lol*
Dre Deda You and me both 😂😂😂

Good friday was yesterday, everything happens for a reason
WTF yes! Two days ago I was rewatching the videos and literally said to myself "Wish she made a broken clocks or garden music video..." I cried when I saw this
you aint alone in that

Shes so beautiful! And her voice and music are so amazing..
I love sza
my favorite song off the album. So glad she did a video for this song.
She's got so much natural beauty. So refreshing.
Can't believe this song is 5 years old 🫶🏿😩🥹
6 years old, it came out in 2017.
I'm obsessed with this song ❤❤
All these interpretations are cool n all. But I want people to know.. No matter what Age you're at you can always enjoy life and have that Never Ending Summer feel. Just dont give into Society's pressure of who you're "Supposed to be" and Live for You :)❤😊💗 Your Childhood and Teenage years doesnt have to be the Only Highlight of your Life. And life doesnt just Stop there, it Keeps Going. That's just another Bullsht Stigma that Society created to Stop you and make you feel like your Running out of "Time" 💯
Liyah Badd appreciate this 🤞🏾💕✨
😍😍😍
Exactly.
Right
THIS THIS THIS!!! Society has a “broken clock” imbedded in our brains so we always feel like we’re running out of time , when in reality it’s never too late for anything
I need a SZA and H.E.R collaboration sooooon😩.
Yesss
OMFG YES
YES BOO I WOULD DIE IF THEY DID
Yeeees
And kehlani
SZA!!! I love this song💯
This song is just a calm, but gentle vibe! This is my fav song from SZA. 💖💖
SZA sneaky ass with this late night video
Kendall The God right she acting like we not up
NadiGotJokes right smh
1:33 AM
She isn't happy about it coming out apparently
lol good thing this is the time when I’m awake
SZA and Khalid would make the ultimate jam you can kick back and chill to.
Mohammed Miah probably
Don't speak to me add Ella Mai to that and put a 90s 2000s feel to it...sick
Kaila Watkins 😭😭
Daniel Caesar too
Mo Miah that may be a thought...
this song is so addicting. ill never get sick of it
I love this woman. A beautiful soul fr. Love her voice!
