Now and Then
Tud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never lived a life like this
Always feel like there's a time I miss
Maybe if I hit her up for a kiss
She would make me blush with her red lipstick
And maybe I would feel okay
And learn to live another day
Top notch weed with my homies at the playground
Hop-Scotch, tetherball, swingin' around
Ohhhhhhh, ohh
Ohhhhhhh, oh
Ohhhhhhh, ohh
Ohhhhhhh, oh
Guess I could name the date of my breakthrough
Gave up the fun of fuckin' around
Yes I just chill at home in my cave room
Heavy heartache will fade with my sound
If I could replace the frame that you fit in
I would go out and burn it all down
No love for past the mask that I lived in
Every damn day that I wake up without
You
Is
A
Good
Day
The time spent in my room would make you insane
We
Are
Not
The
Same




The person that I was would put you to shame
Yup, yup

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tud's song "Now And Then" delve into the feelings of longing, nostalgia, and ultimately finding solace in solitude. The opening lines reflect a sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of life, a feeling that there is something missing or a missed opportunity. The singer considers reaching out to someone special for a kiss, hoping that it would bring a momentary respite and make them feel okay. They want to escape the mundane and find a reason to live another day.


The following lines mention engaging in recreational activities with friends, symbolizing a desire for carefree times and a longing for simpler, childhood pleasures. However, the chorus suggests that despite the attempt to find happiness in these moments, there is still a deep-rooted pain and yearning that persists. The singer acknowledges the need to break free from their current state, to finally have a breakthrough.


As the song progresses, there is a realization that the previous lifestyle of casual encounters and superficial connections is no longer fulfilling. The singer has retreated to the safety of their cave-like room, where they find solace in their own thoughts and creativity. They acknowledge the existence of a heavy heartache, but believe that their music, their sound, will help heal this pain.


The mention of replacing the frame that someone once fit into implies a desire to let go of past relationships or personas that no longer serve them. The lyrics convey a sense of wanting to burn down the old, mask-wearing version of oneself and move forward without any attachments. Each day that the singer wakes up without this connection is considered a good day, suggesting a newfound independence and self-sufficiency.


Overall, "Now And Then" encapsulates a journey of self-discovery, reflecting on the past while embracing the present and finding comfort in one's own company.
