Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's spend some time together
I'm gonna be what's on your mind
Look in my eye's they're calling
I need your love to fall in
If you could just give me a sign
I can't get over now
I can't get over this feeling, I feel
[Chorus]
Now,right now
It's the fire inside you
Feels like I feel
NOW,right now
Deep inside me
Deep inside me
I'm tired of make believin', I'm lost and barely breathin'
I'm on the ceiling help me down, yeah
I'll be the risk your takin'
And I won't rest until your mine, oh
I want to show you baby
I want to show you now
I want to tell you this feeling I feel
[Chorus]
I can't get over this feeling I feel right now
Yeah.
Now,right now
Let the fire inside you
Burn like I burn
[Chorus]
Deep inside
Deep inside me
Deep inside me
Deep inside
The song "Now" by Def Leppard is about the desire to get to know someone better and for them to reciprocate those feelings. This person wants to spend time with the other person and be consumed by the love they could share. They feel a connection with them that they can't seem to shake off and they're asking for a sign that the other person feels the same way. They continue to express their desire to be with the person throughout the song, insisting that they're lost and barely breathing without them.
The chorus is the crux of the song, with the repetition of "Now, right now" emphasizing the urgency of their feelings. It's a plea for the other person to give in to their desire and let the fire inside them burn like it does for the singer. The song is a passionate love song that emphasizes the need for love and connection with another person.

Perfect evolution of the greatest rock band in history. Not stuck in the past and yet remaining true to their identity while not trying to be something THEY AINT...
they have done that from their very first album ON THROUGH THE NIGHT all the way to this very day..
They have changed while ramaining the same..
I LOVE DEF LEPPARD...

Been listening to Def-leppard since the 80's, Love them, they rock
Brandi Reynolds
Started listening to DL in the late 70’s for me… ❤

A very underrated song from their catalog, and one that I wish had become a regular staple for their live shows.
Dubs
Love this song, and the video, and..Joe's hair!
Emin
Def Leppard is a sound of their own which is what makes them among the great rock bands of all time!

This for me is the most underrated album DF had put out. The critics called it a pop album and it was anything but good old DF .. there’s not a song on this album that I didn’t like. I think it was a masterpiece of writing. Great album
Cindy Imhoff
Totally agree!!
james allen
I think this is a beautiful song and it's painful to see it as a underrated song.
Andrei Aciobanitei
Such gifted songwriters. And you hear all these know-it-all rockers/metalheads putting them down for albums like Hysteria or Adrenalize. Unbelievable. Top notch songwriting is what separated this band from tens of others.
ERIC GONZALES
You are so on it. Wayne Hector and is awesome with Long Long Way To Go
