now
by Matt and Kim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drum set worn on the surface
Some things are better with age
Some things no longer remain
And I know that things aren't perfect
Sick and a little nervous
Knives tend to get dull and round
Now,
Now, now
Now,
Now, now
And I know that things aren't perfect
Socks with holes no one noticed
Sneakers off laces still tied
Sometimes truth sounds just like lies
And I know that things aren't perfect
But let's make tonight worth it
Stand up right here take a bow
And we will all ride this thing down
Now,
Now, now
Now,
Now, now
Some things aren't perfect (Now, now)
Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
Some things aren't perfect (Now, now)
Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
The above lyrics are from the song "Now" by Matt and Kim, which explores the idea that things are not always perfect, but that doesn't mean we should just give up. The singer acknowledges that there are things that are worn or imperfect, but also recognizes that some things get better with age. This can be applied to both people and various aspects of life. The line "knives tend to get dull and round" suggests that some things lose their edge over time - this could be interpreted in regards to relationships or passions that may not be as sharp as they once were.
The singer continues to address the imperfections of life, from socks with holes to truths that can sound like lies. But rather than focusing on the negatives, they urge us to make tonight worth it. To stand up and take a bow, to enjoy the moment despite any imperfections. The repetition of the word "now" emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and making the most of it.
Overall, the song encourages us to embrace the imperfect aspects of life and to make the most of every moment. While things may not always be perfect, we can still find joy and beauty in the moment.

I know that things aren't perfect
I am aware that everything is not ideal in life
Drum set worn on the surface
I can see signs of wear and tear on my drum set
Some things are better with age
Some things improve over time
Some things no longer remain
Some things are lost or gone forever
Sick and a little nervous
I am feeling unwell and slightly anxious
Knives tend to get dull and round
Tools can become blunt and ineffective over time
So let's cut this whole building down
Let's tear everything down and start fresh
Socks with holes no one noticed
Some flaws can go unnoticed by others
Sneakers off laces still tied
Things are not as they appear on the surface

The truth can be hard to believe or accept
But let's make tonight worth it

Let's acknowledge and celebrate ourselves
And we will all ride this thing down
Let's enjoy the moment together and see where life takes us

Life can be imperfect and that's okay

Make tonight worth it (Now, now)
Let's cherish the time we have and make it special

This is seriously the best song ever. Matt & Kim have and always will be my absolute all-time favorite band.

This has a good essence of Dubstep, the 'drop', the half step chorus, the occasional jitters, I LOVE it.

I've been a strictly hip hop head since the 80s. Been to a ton of Rap/Rock shows throughout the years and hands down the best live show I've ever seen was Matt and Kim. I could not believe the energy these two brought! Fan Fo Eva.

I've been contemplating the idea of buying tickets to see them play at their US Tour. This song made my mind up. Can't wait to see them live.

This song is so inspiring. It's like everyday you say tomorrow, but no you need to start now. I need to start working on my goal now! At least that's what I get from this song. Also, it's great and I love it.
