Now or Never
Tritonal feat. Phoebe Ryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The walls are paper thin
You're moving in
I can see right through somehow
It all makes sense
Me caving in
But I barely know you

I'd rather have one night
Than nothing forever
Yeah that would be alright
With me
It's now or never
I'd rather have one night
Than nothing forever
Yeah that would be alright
With me
It's now or never

It's now or never
It's now or never
It's now or never

Like planets in the dark
We don't know how
We got here in the sky
Like magnets torn apart
You don't know why
You come back every time

I'd rather have one night
Than nothing forever
Yeah that would be alright
With me
It's now or never
I'd rather have one night
Than nothing forever
Yeah that would be alright
With me
It's now or never

It's now or never
It's now or never
It's now or never
It's now or never




It's now or never
It's now or never

Overall Meaning

The song "Now Or Never" by Tritonal feat. Phoebe Ryan is about the fear of missing out on something great and taking a chance, even if it's risky. The first verse refers to living in close proximity to someone new and still being able to see through their walls, suggesting that this relationship is still shallow and not well-developed. However, the chorus explains that the singer would rather have one night of passion and excitement than nothing forever, and is willing to take the risk of pursuing this person. The repetition of "It's now or never" puts emphasis on the urgency of the situation and the importance of seizing the opportunity.


The second verse uses imagery of planets in the dark and magnets torn apart to describe the unknown and unpredictable nature of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that they don't know how they got there, but still wants to take the chance because they keep coming back to the other person. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of making a move now before it's too late.


In summary, "Now Or Never" is about taking a chance on love and pursuing something exciting, even if it's uncertain and risky.

9 years later and it's still amazing

@TauisPixel

I totally agree :3

@Toastcook1212

Song is so fire!!!

@greennin

I wonder why this type of house music only lasted for about 2 years between 2012 and 2014. I miss it, it was the best. And this was a highlight. bring it back.

@bentley2495

+greennin Progressive house like this still exists if you look for it. It's my favorite style of the genre. Absolutely love the build up and orga--I mean explosion...

@RetroHalon

More like melodic progressive house. Listen to vicetone (old songs) tobu, lush and simon and almost all tritonal songs.

@joshcollins1383

I agree 100 percent. This music is music gold. Seems like the scene has moved on to more of a "Caribbean" sound.

@Hubis81

Dude, it's not house. It's EDM, c'mon now ...

I can't believe it's been 7 years since I heard this song and EDM was being played on the local radio. Man I miss those days. Happier times indeed.
