Surrounded by fjords, forests, and mountains, she began writing music and playing guitar at a very young age. On this little island, she grew up experiencing total freedom and the feeling of belonging somewhere. Very attached to the astonishing and sometimes brutal nature around her, she has realized that the nature inside and the one surrounding her can be similar sometimes. Just like you can experience all four seasons in one day if you travel to the west coast of Norway, she can relate to feeling exuberantly lively and cheerful one minute and almost explosively emotional the next. In these oscillations, friction arises and often results in a flood of inspiration and creativity, which sources her urge to write music.

Say Something Now

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never talk, and I try so hard to bend and open you up
'Cause if you don't, this is the end of us
You look away, 'cause it's easier than to see me in the eye
Dying to know what is on your mind

Say something now, say something now, say something now
Just give me anything
'Cause I can't go another day, another night
Not knowing what you think about, what's left of us
Say something now, say something now, say something now
Say something now, say something now, just give me anything
Say something now, say something now, say something now
Say something now, say something now, say something now

Lower my voice
Just to let you speak
Or to whisper, if that's what you need
Yeah, you've heard all the words of mine

Say something now, say something now, say something now
Just give me anything
'Cause I can't go another day, another night
Not knowing what you think about, what's left of us
Say something now, say something now, say something now
Say something now, say something now, just give me anything
Say something now, say something now, say something now
Say something now, say something now, say something now

You don't have to paint me a picture
Frame it and hang it on my wall
I just need to know if you love me, love me at all

Say something now, say something now, say something now
'Cause I can't go another day, another night
Not knowing what you think about
Say something now, say something now, say something now
Say something now, say something now, just give me anything
Say something now, say something now, say something now
Say something now, say something now, say something now

You don't have to paint me a picture
Frame it and hang it on my wall
I just need to know if you love me, love me at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
Frame it and hang it on my wall
I just need to know if you love me, love me at all

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm




Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Overall Meaning

"SAY SOMETHING NOW" by Skaar is a song that deals with communication and the fear of losing a relationship due to a lack of it. The lyrics reflect the struggle of one person who is trying hard to get the partner to open up and reveal what is on their mind. They feel desperate because they know that if communication does not improve, the relationship will end. The chorus repeatedly urges the partner to speak up and give anything, just so that the other person can have some closure and peace of mind. The vulnerability of the singer is represented in the lines "just give me anything", showing that they are willing to accept whatever response they receive, as long as it is honest.


The second verse shows the singer's willingness to compromise and give their partner space to speak. "Lower my voice, just to let you speak, or to whisper if that's what you need" showcases their effort to make the other person feel comfortable enough to talk. They also acknowledge that the other person has already heard all their words and now it's time for the partner to speak their mind.


Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of communication in a relationship and how it can make or break it. It also shows that communicating one's feelings and thoughts can be challenging but is necessary for a healthy relationship.
