Now and Then
Mahira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stars have lied to me again,
They told me faith never goes.
So every night i go back to dam,
But damn it repeat it up,
They just repeat it up.
Many comes to try to get closer on my wooden bolt,
Oh one day I'll catch that, I'll fish them up.
Oh one day i know
Oh oh oh
One of them,
Falls from the dark and do my hair
It happens every
Oh oh oh
Now and Then
(Heyyyy)
Oh oh oh
All of them,
Dance in the cold me through the skies

It happens every
Oh oh oh
Now and then




(Heyyyy)
Such an oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mahira's song Now and Then seem to convey a sense of disappointment and longing. The opening line, "Stars have lied to me again," suggests a loss of faith in something that was once believed to be trustworthy. It can be interpreted that the singer expected the stars to show them the way and offer guidance, but the stars deceived them. The repetition of the phrase "repeat it up" seems to underscore a feeling of despair and hopelessness. Despite the lack of faith, the singer seems to hold on to the belief that things will eventually improve. The line "Oh one day I'll catch that, I'll fish them up" conveys a sense of agency and determination to change the current state of things.


The second half of the song shifts from despair to hope. The line "Falls from the dark and do my hair" can be interpreted to mean that someone unexpected came into the singer's life and brightened it up. The repetition of the phrase "It happens every / Oh oh oh / Now and Then" suggests that these moments of hope and brightness are intermittent but still occur. The ending line "Such an oh oh oh oh" seems to capture a sense of wonder and amazement at the fleeting moments of joy.


Overall, the song seems to be about the cyclical nature of life, where moments of despair alternate with moments of hope and joy. It conveys a sense of longing for a brighter future.
