Now or Never
My Endless Winter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is a parasite in your head
Are you dead
You've been trying so hard to ignore it
When there are things you don't understand
You pretend your life is alright
Tell me, how do you sleep at night
When some people out of your window
Try to never give up the fight
So choose
Cause we got nothing lose
Raise your voice
Break their bones
Cross the line and refuse
Then slowly tighten their noose
Let's march to the beat of our heart till it stops
Till the smoke of the flames fill the air in our lungs
Raise your flags to cover the sun
We're one
We're born and die alone
We fight and live together
We stand against the currents of this world
We know we don't belong
And that's what makes it better
We're making every failure feel like home
Feel like home
We've been to hell and back
Through thick and thin we stood our ground
Now everyone craves for the sound
No wonder why we are still around
Cause everything is changing
But the world still spins the same
In a war that is still raging on to justify
A god without a name
It's a price that you have to pay
Every minute of every day
You live for the afterlife while you spend your life away
Look the other way
Just know that we owe them nothing
Their cards are showing, we caught them bluffing
Let them think they got the upper hand
They wanna break our soul
The more the better
Our backs against the wall
It's now or never
We rise above it all
No rise without a fall
We're born and die alone
We fight and live together
We stand against the currents of this world
We know we don't belong
And that's what makes it better
We'll never let our future be the prison our soul
We're born and die alone
We fight and live together
We stand against the currents of this world
We know we don't belong
And that's what makes it better
We're making every failure feel like home
Feel like home
(We're born, we live, we die alone
We're born, we live, we die alone)
Feel like home




(We're born, we live, we die alone
We'll take, their asses off the throne)

Line by Line Meaning

There is a parasite in your head
You have a toxic thought consuming your mind


Are you dead
Has it killed your spirit?


You've been trying so hard to ignore it
You've tried to suppress the negativity


When there are things you don't understand
You ignore the issues instead of addressing them


You pretend your life is alright
You feign happiness despite your pain


Tell me, how do you sleep at night
Do you ever feel guilty for ignoring problems?


When some people out of your window
Others are fighting for their rights while you remain passive


Try to never give up the fight
They persist in pursuing justice


So choose
Make a decision


Cause we got nothing lose
There's nothing to be afraid of


Raise your voice
Speak up for what you believe in


Break their bones
Defy those who oppress you


Cross the line and refuse
Stand up for yourself, it's okay to say 'no'


Then slowly tighten their noose
Assert your power in the face of their authority


Let's march to the beat of our heart till it stops
Live life to the fullest


Till the smoke of the flames fill the air in our lungs
Until the final moments of our life


Raise your flags to cover the sun
Celebrate life while you can


We're one
We're united in our humanity


We're born and die alone
Death is a solitary experience for all


We fight and live together
Find comfort and community in the struggle


We stand against the currents of this world

And that's what makes it better
Our differences bring us strength


We're making every failure feel like home
We find solace in our shortcomings


We've been to hell and back
We've gone through difficult times and survived


Through thick and thin we stood our ground
We persevered through adversity


Now everyone craves for the sound
Others are drawn to our strength


It's a price that you have to pay
Freedom comes with a cost


Every minute of every day
Freedom requires ongoing effort


You live for the afterlife while you spend your life away
You prioritize an abstract belief over your present life


Look the other way
Ignore the problems instead of facing them


Just know that we owe them nothing
Stand up for yourself and don't feel guilty


Their cards are showing, we caught them bluffing
Expose those who manipulate and deceive


Let them think they got the upper hand
Allow them to underestimate you


They wanna break our soul
They intend to weaken us


The more the better
But we'll only fight harder


Our backs against the wall
We're in a do-or-die situation


It's now or never
We must act at this moment


We rise above it all
We overcome adversity


No rise without a fall
Success comes from learning from failure


We'll never let our future be the prison our soul
We won't let our fears control us


We'll take, their asses off the throne
We'll overthrow those who oppress us
