Now Or Never
Progress In Color Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this ship on a sea of glass
Don't know when things will change
Over and over, I find myself here
I don't know when things will change
So sad to watch you go
Your eyes are killing me
This time I know your leaving
It's now or never, you say
Every night I'm losing sleep
In my dreams, it's you I need
Don't want to close my eyes again
I see your love moving on without me
Never gonna close my eyes again
So sad to watch you go
Somehow, typical
Your eyes are killing me
This time I know your leaving
It's now or never, you say
Before you say goodbye
Just know, you're always on my mind
You wonder why we don't change
I don't know
I don't know
I can't explain
So sad to watch you go
Somehow, typical
Your eyes are killing me
This time I know your leaving
It's now or never, you say
It's now or never, you say
It's now or never, you say
It's now or never, you say
It's now or never, you say
It's now or never, you say
It's now or never, you say
The lyrics of "Now or Never" by Progress In Color speak of the uncertainty and despair one feels when stuck in a waiting game. The ship on the sea of glass could be akin to a metaphor for the monotony of life and the sea of glass could represent the lack of ebbs and flows and more importantly - any progress. The waiting game leaves the singer unsure of when things will change, and they find themselves stuck in the same position, over and over again. The repetition of this theme signifies the frustrating cycle, where even though one is aware, they're unable to bring about change.
The second stanza highlights the pain and longing the singer feels for the person who's leaving them. The deeper meaning behind "Your eyes are killing me" could be the memories that are attached to the person - caught forever in the singer's mind's eye. The singer can't help but dream about them every night, and "losing sleep" further emphasizes the extent of their heartache. The third stanza brings forward the hopelessness one sometimes feels when still caught in the memory of a love that's moving on. The singer knows that they must let go and that "It's now or never" - the choice must be made to move forward.
In the final stanza, the younger generation seems to question the unrealistic expectations of love that are often set by the older generation. The singer can't explain why they're caught up in the same cycle, unable to make any significant progress. The thought's voiced, "You wonder why we don't change/I don't know/I don't know/I can't explain," is an acknowledgment of confusion and a realization that nothing can be done until a choice is made. Finally, the song's title itself, "Now or Never," could represent a feeling of urgency to take the right steps and make necessary changes before time runs out.

Tell me how long will the waiting last
I want to know how much longer I have to wait
In this ship on a sea of glass
I feel like I'm stuck, unable to move or make progress
Don't know when things will change
I don't have any idea when things will start to get better
Over and over, I find myself here
I keep ending up in the same difficult situation
So sad to watch you go
It hurts to see you leave
Somehow, typical
This seems like a common occurrence, almost expected
Your eyes are killing me
Your gaze is causing me emotional pain
This time I know your leaving
I realize that you're really going this time
It's now or never, you say
This is the moment when we either make a change or we don't
Every night I'm losing sleep
I can't rest because I'm so worried
In my dreams, it's you I need
You're always on my mind, even when I'm asleep
Don't want to close my eyes again
I don't want to miss anything or lose out on an opportunity
I see your love moving on without me
I can tell that your feelings for me are fading
Never gonna close my eyes again
I will stay alert and aware so I don't miss anything important
Before you say goodbye
I want to talk to you one last time before you leave
Just know, you're always on my mind
You may be leaving, but I will always remember you
You wonder why we don't change
You're questioning why we can't seem to make things better
I don't know
I don't have an answer
I don't know
I'm genuinely unsure
I can't explain
I don't have the words or knowledge to understand it fully
It's now or never, you say
You're reminding me that this is make or break time
It's now or never, you say
This feels like a critical moment that we can't ignore
It's now or never, you say
This is the moment when we either make progress or lose everything
It's now or never, you say
We have to act now, because there may not be another chance
It's now or never, you say
This is the time when we have to decide what we truly want
It's now or never, you say
We have to take action, because it's our last chance
