Matt Kim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drum set worn on the surface
Some things are better with age
Some things no longer remain
And I know that things aren't perfect
Sick and a little nervous
Knives tend to get dull and round
Now,
Now, now
Now,
Now, now
And I know that things aren't perfect
Socks with holes no one noticed
Sneakers off laces still tied
Sometimes truth sounds just like lies
And I know that things aren't perfect
But let's make tonight worth it
Stand up right here take a bow
And we will all ride this thing down
Now,
Now, now
Now,
Now, now
Some things aren't perfect (Now, now)
Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
Some things aren't perfect (Now, now)
Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
The lyrics to Matt Kim's song "Now" speak to the imperfections of life and relationships. The song acknowledges that things may not always be perfect, but rather than dwelling on those imperfections, it encourages making the most of the present moment. The line "drum set worn on the surface" could be interpreted as a metaphor for a relationship that may not be as shiny and new as it once was, but still has value and worth. The line "knives tend to get dull and round, so let's cut this whole building down" also speaks to the idea of recognizing when something may no longer be serving its purpose and it's time to let it go.
Throughout the song, there is a balance of acknowledging imperfections while also finding joy and worth in the present moment. The line "sometimes truth sounds just like lies" highlights the idea that perception and reality can often be subjective. In spite of this, the song encourages us to enjoy ourselves and "make tonight worth it" regardless of any imperfections that may be present.

Drum set worn on the surface

Sick and a little nervous
Showing vulnerability and emotional fragility
Knives tend to get dull and round

Socks with holes no one noticed
Realizing small details that went unnoticed
Sneakers off laces still tied
Discomfort with an uncomfortable situation
Sometimes truth sounds just like lies
Uncertainty in the face of hard truths
But let's make tonight worth it
Emphasizing the importance of the present
Stand up right here take a bow
Celebrating your own accomplishments
And we will all ride this thing down
Doing your best and seeing where life takes you

This is seriously the best song ever. Matt & Kim have and always will be my absolute all-time favorite band.

This has a good essence of Dubstep, the 'drop', the half step chorus, the occasional jitters, I LOVE it.

I've been a strictly hip hop head since the 80s. Been to a ton of Rap/Rock shows throughout the years and hands down the best live show I've ever seen was Matt and Kim. I could not believe the energy these two brought! Fan Fo Eva.

I've been contemplating the idea of buying tickets to see them play at their US Tour. This song made my mind up. Can't wait to see them live.

This song is so inspiring. It's like everyday you say tomorrow, but no you need to start now. I need to start working on my goal now! At least that's what I get from this song. Also, it's great and I love it.
