"When Time Stood Still"

I'm not entirely sure of my transcription, but I think the second verse of "When Time Stood Still" is:

Sitting there inside your mind

Just waiting for the clock to chime

In a lonely line

Stood a lonely man

There are two poetic features here that heighten this sense of loneliness.

The verse is held together by assonance more than rhyme (the long i in "mind," "chime," and "line"), but this sound is lacking in the final line ("Stood a lonely man"), illustrating how this man is separate.

The phrase "lonely line" alliterates, and because the two words start with the same sound, there's a sense of this singularity.

"The Bouncer"

I'm not sure if I have the section divisions or line breaks in the right places, but I noticed some significance in this part of "The Bouncer":

I see your light

Shine in my window

And I know I am coming home

And as the light grows

Grows ever brighter

I see your face

You are alone

Backing vocals harmonize most of the lead vocals here, but they're conspicuously absent for "You are alone," emphasizing this solitude.

"21st Century Man"

During the line "Return with what you've learned, they'll kiss the ground you walk upon" in "21st Century Man," there's a synthesizer part something like this:

There are two musical qualities here that match the lyrics.  As if to illustrate the obeisance of "they'll kiss the ground you walk upon," there's a dramatic descent (spanning more than two octaves), and because this descent is conjunct, there's also a sense of the steps involved in that "walk[ing]."

"Ticket to the Moon"

In the lines "Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon / But I'd rather see the sunrise / In your eyes" in "Ticket to the Moon," there are a couple contrasts that mirror the narrator's conflict.  There's the simple astronomical difference between the hot, active sun and the cold, lifeless moon, and there's also a difference in relative movement:  "I've got a ticket to the moon" indicates that it's the narrator who will be travelling, but "I'd rather see the sunrise / In your eyes" describes a situation where he's more or less stationary and it's the sun that's moving.

"Twilight"

Yester-day was the anniversary of the moon landing in 1969, so I listened to Time, mostly to hear "Ticket to the Moon."  I noticed a handful of small features in a number of songs.

Near the end of "Twilight," from about 3:04 to 3:18, what I think is some kind of synthesizer plays this repeated phrase for a total of eight measures:

A phrase with these same intervals (but a different rhythm) also appears near the end of "Wishing" from the previous album.  I think it's in the violins first, at ~3:23:

The repeated line "Hold on to her" (at ~3:39) is sung to these same pitches with roughly the same rhythm, but the phrases fall within the measure differently.

While the intervals in these parts from "Twilight" and "Wishing" match exactly, I'm not sure if this was an intentional nod to an earlier song or just a coincidence.
