now
by Matt and Kim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that things aren't perfect
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
So let's cut this whole building down

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)

Overall Meaning

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.

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.
