Discover the story of the song > Hourglass – Squeeze

The protagonist feels like he's knocking on a door and calling on a phone, but nobody is answering him. He feels like he's falling down and nobody can catch him. The hourglass is empty, his watch has stopped, and he feels like he's running uphill with nobody to stop him. He wonders if throwing something off a bridge will help, but it doesn't. The lights are on, the blinds are down, and nobody is home to hear him.
