NOW
Tim Neuhaus & The Cabinet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down and up and over
Old voices lull aloud
You're a fool to call it forward
What do i have to show
For ten long years of searching?
How would I even know
I want to sing along
With someone who I once was
A song that's loud enough
To do with her what time does
No longer wondering why I'm losing myself
On a path to become somebody else
There was a fire, but it's been burning out
Maybe I lit it, but maybe I lie about it now
And if those flames that i once used
To light my way
Smolder to smoke and then lead me astray
Maybe I'll see that a spade is a spade
Maybe I played it but, I'm getting tired
Of this game
"Now" by Tim Neuhaus & The Cabinet is a song that explores the idea of self-discovery and reflection. The lyrics talk about a person who has been wandering aimlessly for ten years and is now questioning their journey. They have been through a lot of ups and downs and feel like they have nothing to show for the time that has passed. The old voices lull them into a false sense of security, but they know that they cannot keep moving forward without purpose. The person longs to connect with their former self and sing along with them to a song that reminds them of who they used to be. The song should be loud enough to drown out the sound of time passing.
The person in the song is tired of losing themselves and becoming someone else. They acknowledge that they may have started the fire that was supposed to guide them, but now it is burning out. They are lost and unsure of where to go. They know that they need to be honest with themselves and call a spade a spade. The person is growing tired of playing a game that has no clear rules, and they want to find their way back to themselves.

I've walked this circle round
I've been through this cycle before
Down and up and over
I've experienced the highs and lows
Old voices lull aloud
I hear familiar voices from the past
You're a fool to call it forward
It's unwise to dwell on the past
What do i have to show
What have I accomplished?
For ten long years of searching?
After a decade of searching, what have I found?
How would i even know
How can I be certain if I've found what I'm looking for?
If i've reached where I was going?
Have I achieved my goals?
I want to sing along
I want to connect with my former self
With someone who I once was
With a version of myself
A song that's loud enough
A powerful reminder of who I used to be
To do with her what time does
To constantly shape her
No longer wondering why I'm losing myself
No longer questioning why I've changed
On a path to become somebody else
On a journey to become a different person
There was a fire, but it's been burning out
There was once passion, but it's fading away
Maybe I lit it, but maybe I lie about it now
Perhaps I'm not being honest about who sparked the passion
And if those flames that I once used
And if that passion that once drove me
To light my way
To guide me
Smolder to smoke and then lead me astray
Dwindle and cause me to lose my direction
Maybe I'll see that a spade is a spade
Maybe I'll recognize the truth
Maybe I played it but, I'm getting tired
Perhaps I was in control, but I'm growing weary
Of this game
Of pretending that everything is fine
