Here And Now
Letters to Cleo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just thought I'd think about. All the things to get and keep getting, never
enough not enough and never ending. I just thought I'd think about. And it
might be...
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky above could
never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the here and now.
Parody of yourself in color, giving it to everybody but your mother. You've got much to
think about. Soaring higher with every treason. Never justify, never reason.
You've got much to think about. And it might be...
[The fast part again.]
In the verses of the song Here & Now by Letters to Cleo, the lyrics reflect the thoughts of a person on a relaxed Sunday morning, having tea and toast and taking some time for themselves to reflect on their life. It seems like the person is pondering about how life is always about wanting more and striving for more, be it things or success. The lyrics reflect on the idea that there is never enough of anything and that life is never-ending in the quest for more. However, the person acknowledges that there is comfort in knowing that there is something better out there, something that's beyond the limits of our world or universe. And yet, as the lyrics go, it's a challenge to be completely present and fully focused on the "now."
The chorus of the song seems to be calling out someone who is a self-parody, someone who projects their colorful and lively self to everyone else but their own mother. The verse emphasizes that the person has much to think about, and perhaps it's about how they move forward in life. The lyrics suggest that the person is rising higher, without any regard for others, and is never justifying or reasoning their actions.
To summarize, Here & Now seems to be a contemplation of the duality of life, where one can either look towards the future, looking for something they do not have, or live in the present, understanding that they may never be content with what they have. The song carries a sense of deep introspection about the ways people act and how their choices affect their lives.

As a 40 year old man who well remembers when this song first came out, I cannot begin to describe all of this memories this song triggers. Hard to believe so much time has passed. Always liked this band.

I was 12 when this and all the other 1995 radio singles came out and it always astonishes me that even after years of not hearing them I LITERALLY REMEMBER ALL THE WORDS THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

I love that feeling when you stumble across a song that you'd totally forgotten about but when you hear it you're instantly back in time.

Music takes you right back. The problem is that, that moment is gone. It can fuck with your head.
Smoke weed at an older age is no good too........
