Now Its On
Grandaddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the "see" used to be
It seems that I'm ceasing to be
In a season of the old me
I wouldn't trade my place
I got no reason to be
Weathered and withering
Bust the lock off the front door
Once you're outside you won't want to hide anymore
Light the light on the front porch
Once it's on you're never want to turn it off anymore
And now it's on
Now it's on
Now that the lake's in place
Where the dead sea used to be
It seems that I'm ceasing to be
In the season of the old me
I wouldn't trade my place
I got no reason to be
Weathered and withering
Like in a season of the old me
Bust the lock off the front door
Once you're outside you won't want to hide anymore
Light the light on the front porch
Once it's on you're never want to turn it off anymore
And now it's on
And now it's on
And now it's on
And now it's on
Now it's on
Now it's on
The first verse of Grandaddy's song "Now It's On" talks about changes taking place, specifically the replacement of the letter "C" with "K". This is a metaphor for transformation and moving on from old ways. The lyric "It seems that I'm ceasing to be in a season of the old me" emphasizes this idea of personal growth and change in the individual. The second verse continues this theme of change, but this time with a contrasting image of a dead sea being replaced by a lake. The singer is saying that they are shedding their old self and embracing something new and refreshing.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea of not looking back once you've made a change. The metaphorical locking and turning on of the front porch light symbolizes the acceptance of one's new self and new life. The repetition of "now it's on" emphasizes the finality of this decision.
Overall, the lyrics of "Now It's On" suggest that change can be difficult but ultimately liberating. The song encourages listeners to embrace change and to move forward without regret.

Such a glorious song. It’s rebirth, reinventing, reimagining. Once it’s on, you never wanna turn it off anymore. Beautiful, inspirational. And damn fine song craft.
