Overall Meaning

The song "Now" by Dave.i.d is a deeply emotional and personal song about a painful relationship. The song's theme revolves around an individual's willingness to go to extreme lengths for their significant other, even if it means harming themselves. The line "slit my wrist, die for you" shows the extent to which the singer is willing to go for their partner. The following line "jigsaw plot twist, die for my boo" is a clever metaphor that compares the pain of their situation to a complicated puzzle that they cannot solve. The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the singer's willingness to sacrifice their life for their partner despite their infidelity.

The second verse conveys the emotional turmoil that the singer experiences as they express their frustration with their partner's behavior. The lines "True love is torture boo, but what you do is just crude" suggests that the singer understands that love requires compromise and sacrifice, but their partner's infidelity is beyond what they can handle. The verse ends with the singer feeling betrayed and questioning if they are "not good enough" for their partner. In the bridge, the singer apologizes to their partner, but the relationship has reached its breaking point, and they declare that it is time for them to leave and move on.
