Living Syndication Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cast out what you know
Turn around
Your life's been bought and sold
You've lost your footing
Still we hear you scream
No sound
What now?
There's no one left to hold
You've lost your footing
Still we hear you scream
Who loves you now?
When tear drop often stain your eyes
Who loves you now?
Cause when the feeling is gone
Then nothing remains in your life
Drive down
When giving up is old
What now
The fire in you's cold
You've come all this way
Just to hear me scream
Lay down
Do just what you're told
Stay down
With you they broke the mold
You've come all this way
Just to hear me scream
The song "Now" by Living Syndication is a powerful narrative about a person who has lost their way in life. The lyrics encourage the individual to cast out what they know and turn around, as they have lost their footing in life. The singer is seemingly devoid of any form of companionship, as evidenced by the line "there's no one left to hold." The song goes on to ask who loves the broken person now, as tears often stain their eyes.
The chorus of the song concludes that when the feeling is gone, nothing remains in life. This is a poignant observation about how significant emotions are in our everyday lives. The singer is urged to drive down, even when giving up seems old. However, what they find is that the fire in them has gone cold. The story then takes a twist, as it seems the singer has been searching for something, and in the end, they come to hear the singer scream. There is no resolution in the narrative, leaving the listener with a sense of emptiness, much like that of the singer.
