Now Or Never
Lovekillers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Lovekillers’ song “Now or Never” is about self-realization and breaking free from the lies that we tell ourselves. The song begins by talking about how every lie we tell ourselves is like a mirror, reflecting back at us. It’s a metaphor for how our self-deception is ultimately self-destructive. We try to escape the heavy load of life, but there is nowhere else to run. However, we can let our hearts beat tonight and live in the moment.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of seizing the present moment. It’s now or never. We must break down the walls that trap us and take action to live the life we want to live. Time is not forever, so we must live all of our dreams in this life. The song encourages us to find our way home and stop pretending or hiding from what’s real. As we do so, we’ll feel our soul rising, and we’ll be free to spread our wings and fly through the rain.
Overall, the song is about taking control of our lives, even when it feels like everything is out of our control. We must break down the walls that trap us, let our hearts lead the way, and live all of our dreams.

HARNELL NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!

Check out his previous band, TNT. My favorite album by them was called Tell No Tales! Awesome guitar work and Tony's voice was totally badass!
Pope Russell the Magnificent
Intuition cd is incredible too!
Matt R
TNT didn't have many misses with him on vocals. Tony & Ronni are one of the best most underrated duos of all time. Love all their 80s and 90s stuff but I think My Religion may be a "perfect" album.

Top Song 👍🏻

@Matt R There were a lot misses. Yeah, My Religion is a very strong album and Intuition and Tell No Tales are classics, but Firefly and Transistor were dreadful. All the Way to the Sun was also more miss than hit.
Matt R
@Heavy Metal Hippie Opinions may vary, lol...I agree Firefly was dreadful but Transistor had it's moments I grew to appreciate. I do put Realized Fantasies up there with the classics, the lyrics were sometimes cringeworthy but the actual the actual vocal and guitar performance were top notch (for me). All the Way to the Sun is a bit of a lost album for me, I don't dislike it but I don't listen to it either...My misses for TNT came with Mills on vocals. I liked him in Shy but I didn't like anything he did with TNT

Love it! Tony Harnell is the best! Another must buy. Keep em coming Tony!
