How Soon Is Now
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No tears of regret, no smell of her perfume
No more dancing feet, to the beats that go boom
While I watch the sunrise all alone in my room
Tonight there'll be no pouring rain
No eyes wide shut to your never ending game
After tonight there'll be no me and you
See everybody's working to hold on to what they know
So I guess I kept believe in my tonight will never go
Some spend a lifetime searchin' trying to figure out
When hell stops and heaven begins
How soon is now?
The lyrics to David Guetta's song How Soon Is Now, featuring Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South, and Julie McKnight, paint a picture of a person who is about to walk away from a relationship with someone they love, but know they can no longer be with. The song is about the end of a relationship, and the emotions that come along with it. The singer knows that after tonight, they won't be coming home soon, and that they won't smell their partner's perfume or dance to the same beats anymore. They'll watch the sunrise alone in their room, with no tears of regret.
The song continues, describing a love that has gone sour. The singer knows that after tonight, there will be no more "me and you", and no distant memories for them to hold on to. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of a relationship coming to an end, and the feeling of loss that accompanies it. The chorus asks the question, "How soon is now?" which can be interpreted as a plea for closure or a way of acknowledging that something new is about to begin.
Overall, the lyrics to How Soon Is Now are reflective and contemplative. They capture the essence of a relationship that is ending, and the emotions that come along with it. The song is a powerful reminder that no matter how hard we try to hold on, sometimes we simply have to let go and move on to what's next.
