NOW
Alexander Hanson Ramona Mallory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soon, I won't shy away,
Dear old--
Soon, I want to.
Soon, whatever you say.
Even now,
When you're close and we touch,
And you're kissing my brow,
And you'll have to admit I'm endearing,
I help keep things humming,
I'm not domineering--
What's one small shortcoming?
And think of how I adore you,
Think of how much you love me.
If I were perfect for you,
Wouldn't you tire of me
Soon,
All too soon,
Dear old--
Soon,
Later...
Now, I promise.
When is later?
As the sweet imbecilities
Soon,
All you ever hear is
Trip on my trouser leg, I won't shy away,
"Yes, we know, Henrik, Stendhal elimanates
A... Oh, Henrik,
Dear old--
Everyone agrees, Henrik, please, Henrik..."
Soon,
As I've I want to.
Often stated,
Soon,
Whatever you say.
When? But when?
Even now,
Maybe
Maybe
When you're close
Soon, soon,
Later,
And we touch, I'll be ninety
When I'm kissing your brow
And you're kissing
And dead.
My brow
And I'm stroking your head, I don't mind it
I don't mind it
Too much.
Too much.
You'll come into my bed.
And you'll have to
Since I have to
And you have to
Admit
Admit
Admit I'm endearing, I find peering
I've been hearing
I help
Through life's
All those tremulous cries,
Keep things humming,
Grey windows
Impatiently
Patiently
I'm not
Not
Not Domineering--
Very cheering.
Interfering
What's one
Do I fear death?
With those tremulous thighs.
Small shortcoming?
Let it come to me
Come to me
And think of
Now,
Soon,
How I adore you,
Think of
Now,
Soon,
How much you love me.
If I were perfect
Now,
Soon,
For you,
Wouldn't you
Now...
Soon...
Tire of me
Later?
Come to me soon,
Come to me soon,
We will,
If I'm dead
Straight to me,
Later.
I can wait.
Never mind how.
We will,
How can I live
Darling, now--
Soon...
Until later?
I still want and/or
Later...
Love you,
Soon...
Later...
Now as always,
Now... Desiree!
The song "Now" by Alexander Hanson Ramona Mallory is a love song that explores the complexities of a romantic relationship. The lyrics of the song reflect the uncertainties and insecurities of the singer, who is seeking reassurance and affirmation from their partner. Throughout the song, the singer promises that they will overcome their shyness and express their true feelings, but they also fear that their imperfections may eventually cause their partner to tire of them.
The repeated use of the word "soon" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's sense of urgency and the constant desire to improve their relationship. However, the hints of mortality and the reference to Stendhal's novel "The Red and the Black" suggest that the singers' time with their partner may be limited, making it all the more important to express their feelings without delay. The final reference to "Desiree" suggests that the singer is thinking of a specific person, perhaps their lover or a character in the novel.
Overall, the song "Now" is a poignant and introspective exploration of the complexities and uncertainties of romantic relationships, expressed through poignant and introspective lyrics.
