From Now On
Peter Bjorn and John Lyrics

Oh, pour me another drink
Asks for another drink to cope with the pain and difficulties in life

And punch me in the face
Willing to take a hit and face the consequences of life head-on

You can call me Nancy
Does not care about labels and societal norms, willing to be called anything

Every man wears a symbol
Believes that everyone has their own identity and characteristics that make them who they are

And I know I have mine
Recognizes and understands their own identity and the symbols that represent it

I've got my right hand stamped
Has a physical representation of their identity, possibly from an event or experience

In the concentration camp where my organs scream 'slow down, man'
Feels trapped and overwhelmed in a difficult situation, struggling to cope and move forward

Ooh, flowers and bows
Represents the beauty and superficial aspects of life

Milk and honey flow
Represents the abundance and richness of life

Just a couple states below
Referring to a physical location, possibly representing a desire for escape or change

Oh, hook me up to the tank
Willing to be hooked up to a machine or system to keep going

And roll me to the door
Ready and willing to move on to the next step or phase of life

I'm going where my body leads me
Following intuition and instinct to guide decisions and actions

I can fend for myself
Capable of taking care of oneself and standing on their own

With what looks I have left
Acknowledging the changes and aging that come with time, possibly feeling insecure or self-conscious about appearance

I'll put away a few
Moving on and letting go of past memories or possessions

And pretty soon I'll be breaking things I have of you
Overcoming and letting go of past relationships or emotions

Ooh, give me how it was
Yearning for the past and nostalgic memories

A place under the sun
Referring to a happy and peaceful place, possibly from the past

Before the devil made me run
Regrets or wishes for a different outcome, before making a decision that led to challenges or difficulties

Run boy, run boy
Urging someone, possibly themselves, to escape or move on to a better situation

Ooh
Expressing emotion or feeling, possibly a sense of longing or sadness
