NOW
Teddy Fontana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make sure all the skies are blue
Put it through a filter
Leave me with a better view
Got my hand on the trigger
Put me in a different mood
Little pills full of glitter
Give me something for my attitude
It′s alright if we're all fucked up
It′s a mess, but I love the rush
I don't care if it's all too much
I want it now
I want it now
Now
Now
I want it now
Fix me up some poison
Bring it to me on the rocks
My head is full of voices
But I know how to make ′em stop
One more night where we′re all fucked up
Hate the taste, but I love the rush
I don't care if it′s all too much
I want it now
Now
Now
I want it now
Now
Now
I want it
It makes me nervous
It's so perfect
I lose focus
It′s all hopeless
On the surface
It's all worthless
It makes me nervous
It′s so perfect
I want it now
Now
Now
I want it now
Now
Now
I want it now
The lyrics of Teddy Fontana's song "Now" reflect the mindset of someone who is seeking an escape from reality. The first verse talks about wanting a different perspective, a better view, and something to change their mood. However, they are aware that it might not be the best thing for them, but they still want it anyway. The second verse talks about wanting to silence the voices in their head and drowning themselves in poison. This is a clear sign of someone who is struggling with their mental health and is desperately seeking a way out.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I want it now" multiple times, highlighting the urgency and desperation of the situation. The persona seems to have lost hope and is willing to do anything to feel something other than what they're feeling right now. The last part of the song talks about the conflicting emotions this desire is causing them. On the one hand, it's making them nervous and helpless, but on the other hand, it's providing them with a false sense of perfection.
Overall, the lyrics of "Now" are a vivid portrayal of the struggles one faces while battling their inner demons.
