NOW
SOUNDTRACK/CAST ALBUM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought on those endless nights
Committing to conversations
Devouring left and right
The rest of our lives

I always hated those techno songs
You put on my compilations
Those saintly notions of right and wrong
That always got in my way

I'm over it now
You won't see me around
Go bury the knife in someone else
Because I'm over it now
I'm over it now
I'm over it

You left on the darkest part
Of my constant intoxication
My battered and broken heart
It nearly gave out

I kicked around in the big bad world
After you sold all my action figures
I never got in that one last word
So here's a fuck you

I'm over it now
You won't see me around
Go bury the knife in someone else
Because I'm over it now
I'm over it now
I'm over it

Drowning in the illusion that I care
Drowning in the illusion that I care
Drowning in the illusion that I care
Drowning in the illusion

I'm over it now
You won't see me around
Go fuck up the life of someone else
Because I'm over it now
I'm over it now

I'm over it now
I'm over it now
Go bury the knife in someone else
Because I'm over it now




I'm over it now
I'm over it

Overall Meaning

The song "Now" from the soundtrack/cast album is a powerful and emotive piece that expresses the feelings of hurt, betrayal, and anger experienced after a relationship has ended. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been hurt by their former partner and is now finally able to let go and move on from the relationship. The first stanza sets the scene of endless nights spent talking, but ultimately leading to a failed relationship. The second stanza is more brutal, with references to the singer's heart being broken and their action figures being sold.


The chorus of the song, "I'm over it now," is repeated throughout and highlights the singer's newfound sense of strength and independence in the face of the pain they've gone through. It is a message to their ex-partner that they are no longer willing to be hurt by them and they have moved on. The use of curse words in the lyrics adds to the intensity of the song's message.


Overall, "Now" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced heartbreak and come out stronger on the other side. The powerful lyrics, paired with the dynamic and emotional vocal performance, make this song a standout moment in the soundtrack/cast album.

Go damage someone else's life like you did mine, but I won't be there to bear witness to it
