Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse One]
Some people spend their whole life waiting around
For the chance to become something else,
But if you're not happy then just look around
The only one here to blame is YOURSELF!

[Chorus]
[Its now or never]

So DON'T
Hesitate
To GO!
With this all the way
Cause in this life
Its now or never,
And DON'T!
Be afraid
To TAKE!
Pleasure with the PAIN!
HERE IT COMES!
It's NOW OR NEVER!
[Never gonna stop,
Never gonna stop,
Never gonna GIVE THIS UP!]

[Verse Two]
Its never too late
And don't ever look back,
Cause there's no future in the past
If you want to change your life
I think you should know
The door is open but its closing FAST!

[Chorus]
[Its now or never]
So DON'T
Hesitate
To GO!
With this all the way
Cause in this life
Its now or never,
And DON'T!
Be afraid
To TAKE!
Pleasure with the PAIN!
HERE IT COMES!
It's NOW OR NEVER!
[Never gonna stop,
Never gonna stop,
Never gonna GIVE THIS UP!]

[Hook]
There's two types of people that live in this world
So ask yourself which type are you?
The type that just needs to be told what to do
Or the type to make your dreams come true
They can all come true
DON'T YOU STOP NOW!

[Chorus]
[Its now or never]
So DON'T
Hesitate
To GO!
With this all the way
Cause in this life

Never gonna stop,
Never gonna GIVE THIS UP!]

Overall Meaning

The song "Now or Never" by Digital Summer is about seizing the moment, taking risks, and not being afraid to chase after what you want in life. The lyrics are an encouragement to those who may be stuck in their current situation, whether it be a job or a relationship they're unhappy with, to take action and make a change. The first verse describes how some people spend their whole lives waiting for something to happen, but the only person to blame for not being happy is yourself. The chorus then encourages the listener to go all the way and not be afraid to take pleasure with the pain.

The second verse begins with the statement that it's never too late and to not look back because there's no future in the past. This line is significant because it acknowledges that while our past experiences shape who we are, they ultimately do not define us or dictate our future. The door is open for change, but it's closing fast, indicating that the opportunity needs to be seized quickly. The hook emphasizes that there are two types of people in the world: those who need to be told what to do and those who make their dreams come true. The song implores the listener to be the latter and to not stop until their dreams are realized.
