Moments
NamNamBulu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every moment that I pray
Not today, not today
Will make this happen
Longing for conclusions
Longing for a perfect way
Not today, not today
Will make that happen
Hoping for an answer
Hoping for a sign that shines
Not today, not today
Is where it happens
Giving absolution
With a simple touching hand
Not today, not today
As all this happens
Holding on to reason
Right before you go insane
Not today, not today
Is where that happens
Losing all you asked for
Loosing faith in what they say
That’s today
It’s today where that will happen
Where do we go, what will we know
The chance to lose with what we choose
In every moment lays the chance that it will happen
Decide to stay or go away,
it’s up to you it’s what you do
In every moment lays the chance that it will happen
The song "Moments" by NamNamBulu is a reflection on life's uncertainties and the longing for answers that may never come. The lyrics suggest that although we may pray, hope, long, give absolution, hold onto reason, and even lose faith, there are no guarantees that anything will happen today. Instead, the song encourages listeners to take ownership of their lives and make the most of every moment, as that is where the chance of change lies. The decision to stay or go, to choose one path or another, is ultimately up to the individual, and every moment is an opportunity for that choice to manifest.
The lyrics are powerful in their simplicity, evoking a sense of introspection and contemplation. The repetition of "Not today, not today" in several stanzas creates a sense of resignation and acceptance that some things may not come to fruition in the present moment. However, the chorus suggests that in every moment there is a chance for change, a chance to decide one's fate.
