The Time Is Now
Moloko/Pulse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my last breath
You're a breath of fresh air to me
I am empty
So tell me you care for me

You're the first thing
And the last thing on my mind
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

All the promise
A daydream yet to come
Time is upon us
Oh but the night is young

Flowers blossom
In the wintertime
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

You may find yourself
Out on a limb for me
Could you accept it as
A part of your destiny?

I give all I have
But it's not enough
And my patience's all shot
So I'm calling your bluff

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

And we gave it time
All eyes are on the clock
Time takes too much time
Please make the waiting stop

And the atmosphere is charged
In you I trust
And I feel no fear as I
Do as I must

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last

Tempted by fate
And I won't hesitate
The time is now
And I can't blame it

I been in it too long
The time is now
And the time has gone
Let's make this moment last
And the night is young

The time is now
Let's make this moment last

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now




Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment, last

Overall Meaning

In Moloko/Pulse's song "The Time Is Now," the singer is speaking directly to their lover, telling them how they make them feel. The lyrics are romantic and intimate, with the singer expressing vulnerability and the desire for the other person to reciprocate their affection. The opening lines, "You're my last breath, you're a breath of fresh air to me, I am empty, so tell me you care for me," convey the depth of the singer's attachment to their partner. They see the other person as essential to their survival and crave their reassurance.


The theme of time is present throughout the song, with multiple references to the present moment and the passing of time. The chorus command to "give up yourself unto the moment" suggests seizing the present and living in the present rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. The repetition of "the time is now" underscores the urgency of embracing the present, making the most of every moment, and cherishing the love they share.


The final lines, "Let's make this moment last, tempted by fate, and I won't hesitate," suggest that the singer is committed to living in the moment with their lover despite the uncertainty of the future. They are willing to take risks and embrace fate, knowing that time is fleeting and they need to savor every moment they have together.

​@@davew7232 And then at the next epidemic we'll be back into our homes for another couple of years.
And then another couple of years.
And then another couple of years.

This is what the people who spent decades warning of the increased risk of spillovers due to ecological devastation meant.
This is why cutting on healthcare and welfare was a bad idea.
This is why crowded cities, poorly ventilated, chicken coop-like schools, offices and factories are a bad idea.
Shame nobody listened then, nor is listening now.

On the plus side, Jeff Bezos made another 20 million dollars last year, so he can probably hire Moloko to perform in his garden.

::LYRICS::
When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie, your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing

No, you can't help it if you have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody

Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

You're welcome 😊
