NOW
Matt and 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 of Matt and Kim's song NOW convey an acceptance of imperfection and an embrace of the present moment.

Despite these imperfections, the singer encourages the listeners to make the most of the present moment. They suggest cutting down the metaphorical building that may be holding them back and taking a bow to celebrate the journey. This message can be interpreted as a call to action to live in the now and to not get bogged down by worries about the past or future.

I know that things aren't perfect
Admitting that everything is not perfect
Drum set worn on the surface
Physical wear and tear on something
Some things are better with age
Some things improve with age
Some things no longer remain
Some things disappear over time
And I know that things aren't perfect
Reiterating that everything is not perfect
Sick and a little nervous
Feeling under the weather and anxious
Knives tend to get dull and round
Things lose their edge or sharpness over time
So let's cut this whole building down
Taking drastic action to start anew
Socks with holes no one noticed
Small imperfections that go unnoticed
Sneakers off laces still tied
Disheveled appearance, but still held together
Sometimes truth sounds just like lies
It's not always easy to differentiate truth from lies
But let's make tonight worth it
Focusing on the present moment and enjoying it
Stand up right here take a bow
Celebrating accomplishments
And we will all ride this thing down
Enjoying the journey and taking it all in
Some things aren't perfect (Now, now)
Acknowledging imperfections
Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
Emphasizing the importance of carpe diem
Some things aren't perfect (Now, now)
Restating that everything is not perfect
Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
Encouraging making the most out of the current moment

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.
