Living living now we living
生まれて なくなって
また なくなって うまれてく
Living living now we living
Living living now we living
考えない意味
生きてる毎日
Living living now we living
今生きてるだろ
もういらない過去
朝昼夜朝昼
気がついたら夜だよ
窓開けたら外見る
東西南北
今日何する? どこいく?
今今今
明日やろうはバカヤロー
明日なんてないかも
明日のこと知らない
明日なんていらない
明日明後日未来
明日よりも今がいい
Living living now we living
Living living now we living
生まれてなくなって
またなくなって生まれてくる
Living living now we living
Living living now we living
考えない意味
生きてる毎日
We living now
シドビシャスにこうべい
ヘロインとか滑稽
死ぬのはなし生きるが勝ち
痛いタトゥー彫ってる
踊るアホ見るアホ 同じアホ踊らなきゃ??
Came from the bottom
過去は過去だし 下から上に上がろう
もっともっともっと
一日24時間 一年365日
楽しい時すぐすぎてく
つまらない時遅い
時間は平等じゃない
短いけど超長い
パッと咲いてパッと散る
後先考えないのもカッコいい
あん時は良かったって
天国で言うことが楽しみ
いつかはみんな死ぬ
遠いか近いか今 生きてらいっか
心配もしないで
Living living now we living now
Living living now we living
Living living now we living
生まれてなくなって
またなくなって生まれてくる
Living living now we living
Living living now we living
考えない意味
生きてる毎日
We living now
The song 'Now' by KOHH expresses the idea of living in the present and enjoying every moment to the fullest. The repetitive lyrics highlight the fact that we are constantly living and dying, being born and reborn. KOHH argues that one should not worry about the past or the future and instead focus on the present day. The cycle of birth and death is portrayed as an opportunity to enjoy the present moment and create lifelong memories.
Furthermore, the song also features a satirical critique of modern society, with lines such as "Heroin and silly jokes. If you're alive, you've won. Painful tattoos are being engraved." These lines suggest that society often rewards destructive or unconventional behavior, and that living in the present can sometimes involve recklessness or even self-harm. Overall, 'Now' is an energetic and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to embrace the present and live life to the fullest.
