Now or Never
DJ Antoine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the race
In this place
In the ruins
Of the world
That they made
Need to change
What we're doin'
And baby we're free
And we're ready
We gotta take that leap of faith
Get it straight
You gotta take a chance
And wake up before it's too late
Hey now, if you're looking for me
Baby I'm right here
We can do whatever
Hey now, if you wanna break free
Baby come with me
Cause it's now or never
Go all night
And then do it all again
Nothing matters
When we're together
Hey now, if you wanna break free
Baby come with me
Cause it's now, now or never
Now or never
Now or never
All we got is right now
Is right here in this moment
Make it count, have no doubt
Just believe, you are golden
So let's make a toast
Raise your glass
Put your hands up
Just lift them to the sky
If you're wild
Stay untamed
Break the rules
And never play their game
Hey now, if you're looking for me
Baby I'm right here
We can do whatever
Hey now, if you wanna break free
Baby come with me
Cause it's now or never
Go all night
And then do it all again
Nothing matters
When we're together
Hey now, if you wanna break free
Baby come with me
Cause it's now, now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
At its core, DJ Antoine's "Now or Never" is a call to action for those who are young and free to take a chance and break free from the constructs of society. The lyrics suggest that we are living in a world that others have created, and that now it's time to change the way we do things before it's too late. The song urges listeners to take a leap of faith and take a chance, to be wild and stay untamed, to break the rules and not play the game society has set up.
The chorus of the song reinforces the sentiment and invites listeners to join in, saying "Hey now, if you wanna break free, Baby come with me, Cause it's now or never." The song encourages people to seize the moment, to live in the now and make it count, to have no doubt and just believe that they are golden.
