SZA - Broken Clocks 

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. :)

CTRL was literally the most perfect album

Enjoy your youth while you can it goes by fast

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.

this song will NEVER get old

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....

The girl who screamed "WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP" is freaking iconic!

Cried while watching and hearing this. Being an adult really means you got no time, only broke clocks. I hate being an adult

Damn a whole year ago today 😥 time went by fast 🤦🏽‍♀️

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

Hello!! Anyone 2024⬇️

SZA is one of the greatest artists of our generation

🐸💯🐸💯🐸💯🐸💯🐸 How many people love *SZA?* 💯🐸💯🐸💯🐸💯🐸💯

“WAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!”

Soooo we not gone speak how sza put the next name of next album in the song !!! “Sos you gotta wake up “

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

I WANNA GO TO CAMP CTRL

Love how deep and meaningful the songs are and how playful and lighthearted the videos are

This song felt so good back then & it feels so warm now. Some of the best memories were made to this song!

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

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

I don’t even know how Sza comes up with this. The aesthetics of this are so beautiful, she’s a living legend.

Life when this song came out>>

5 years and still going strong ❤ on REPEAT!😂

THIS WAS A LOOOONG TIME COMING ! 😍 WORTH EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

im waiting for a whole movie

2024 ppl where yall at?

why does camp ctrl actually look fun

BITCCCCCHHHHH FINALLLYYYY

"I moved on for the better, you moved on to whoever" PREACH🤗

Watching Sza's videos are keeping me calm while being so excited for the new album on Friday. S.O.S.

“I moved on for the better, you moved on to whoever” gets me every time

This song honestly should’ve been bigger than The Weekend. I love this song so much, it’s so much passion in it.

The SZA aesthetic is the best aesthetic

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.

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.

"I moved on for the better, you moved on to whoever"...felt that shit in my soul bruh...

One word: ART🌹

When someone says nobody is perfect, I remind them that SZA exists

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.“

SZA is so #BlackGirlMagic ❤🖤💚

At least this video met more expectations than The Weekend, because this is my favorite one off the album ❤

I wish this was my youth....fun times, never bored, everyone getting along and friends. This is what I want in my childhood now

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! 😍

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

PLOT TWIST!!! The ending shocked me🙈... get concept to the song though👏🏼🙌🏼💕

She never fails us on her music

may 2024 gang ?

Them jumping in the air gave me George lopez theme song vibes😭

1. Love Galore 2. Broken Clocks 3.The Weekend

I was there when she recorded this music video lol. I worked for the campsite.

Who still listening to this in 2024 😂

*"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 🙂😌

Who else got Parent Trap vibes when they were at that sleepaway camp??

My favorite song.

Still here 2024!!!!!!!

I need a SZA and H.E.R collaboration sooooon😩.

Bro, she said at midnight. It was midnight and it wasn't up so I said fuck it and went to sleep then I realized she was going off west coast 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?

Five years later and still a TOTAL bop

She had enough of so many things but we can‘t get enough of SZA 🔥

SZA sneaky ass with this late night video

This song breaks my fucking heart everytime

This song makes me feel both happy and sad at the same time

Sign me up for camp ctrl, I ain’t doing anything this summer anyways!!

She got both her besties in the video. I love this

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

I swear alot of people sleeping on this girl!! Soo talented, beautiful voice, soo much meaning behind her songs 🥰 I love her!! 😍😍

I was literally thinking yesterday why she never released a video for this song.......... *My prayers are answered lol*

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*

Camp Ctrl seems so fun 😭😭😭

Can't believe this song is 5 years old 🫶🏿😩🥹

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.

SCHOOLBOY Q AS A LUNCH LADY IS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED

SZA YOU THE GOAT SINGER FOR EVER

This made me cry for some reason

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.

SZA and Khalid would make the ultimate jam you can kick back and chill to.

ITS 2024 AND THIS SONG STILL HITS

We love you sza

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.

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

classic song, classic music video, SZA yall

I'm obsessed with this song ❤❤

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.

man her videos be so creative it’s crazy 😩 think you watching a scene from a damn movie !

Five years later I’m here 😂❤❤❤

We gon miss this era frr
