"この先真っ暗だ 道もない"
それでも進むよ 君がいたから
泣かないで お別れだ Ah
Now or Never 傷だらけの秒針も
君と僕が生きた証だ 消さないで
真白なココロが黒く染められても
掴みとろう この手で 今を叫べ Ah
迷子の猫よ ひとりぼっちの日々で泣かないで
ここにいるよ ここにいた
もう二度と戻れない あの日の星が笑ってる
流れゆく願いを宿して 繋ぐんだ
真白なページが赤く汚されても
逃げない 泣かない 泣けない 泣かさない
守り抜こう この手で走れ
Now or Never 傷だらけの秒針も
君と僕が生きた証だ 消さないで
真白なココロが黒く染められても
止まるな 負けるな 生きるんだ 紡ぐんだ
掴みとろう この手で 君のために Ah
優しい猫が呟いた "ありがとう"
星も笑ってる
The lyrics to Rinu's song "Now or Never" tell the story of a cat, who whispers to the listener that the road ahead is dark and there is no path. Despite the uncertainty, the listener continues to move forward because they are not alone, they have someone (or perhaps the cat) by their side. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Now or Never," emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment and not letting the wounds of the past hold them back. The black marks on a white heart are a metaphor that even if life taints or hurts us, we should keep going and not give up, for it is our proof of survival. The broken clock is also reminiscent of the ticking of time, perhaps a reminder to live every moment to the fullest.
The verse that describes the "lost cat" who cries alone in their daily life serves as an allegory for anyone who feels lost and unsure. However, the cat reassures the listener that they are not alone but are right here with them. The song highlights that even when things are difficult, it is still possible to move forward, even if the way forward is vague and uncertain. The song encourages the listener to embrace the uncertainties of life and continue chasing their dreams, regardless of the obstacles that may come their way.
