Now I Know
Semisane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what it is that I see
Could it be angels smiling at me

Sometimes I wonder
Where you are and if you are that star
And I can feel you
And hold you like a thousand times before
I'm dreaming your voice is calling
But still I am falling for you
Just like a thousand times before
Just like a thousand times before

I don't know what it is that I see
Could it be angels smiling at me
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
You never planned to go
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
You never planned to go

Sometimes I wonder
Where you are 'cause you don't seem that far
And I still feel you
If only I had told you that before

I'm dreaming your voice is calling
But still I am falling for you
Just like a thousand times before
Just like a thousand times before

I don't know what it is that I see
Could it be angels smiling at me
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
You never planned to go
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
You never planned to go

If only we had one more day
One last chance for me to say
The things I hope you know

I don't know what it is that I see
Could it be angels smiling at me

I'm dreaming your voice is calling
But still I am falling for you
Just like a thousand times before
Just like a thousand times before

I don't know what it is that I see
Could it be angels smiling at me
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
You never planned to go
Now I know
Now I know




Now I know
You never planned to go

Overall Meaning

In the song "Now I Know" by Semisane, the singer is reflecting on the loss of a loved one, struggling to make sense of their absence. The opening lines convey a sense of uncertainty and confusion, as the singer expresses perplexity at something they are seeing - could it be angels smiling at them? This image suggests that the singer is searching for meaning or guidance in the wake of their loss, perhaps longing for some sort of divine intervention that could help them understand what they are feeling.


As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that they can still feel the presence of the person they have lost, even if they are no longer physically present. The lines "Sometimes I wonder / Where you are and if you are that star" suggest that the singer is looking to the sky, searching for some sort of connection to their loved one. Despite the distance between them, the singer still feels a deep emotional attachment to their loved one, and longs to hold them "like a thousand times before."


Throughout the song, the singer returns to the refrain of "Now I know / You never planned to go," a line that suggests that the singer has come to terms with their loved one's absence and is beginning to accept it. The final verse of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer voices the regret they feel for not having had more time to express their love to the person they have lost. This sense of longing and loss is captured beautifully in the song's emotional lyrics and understated melody.
