about

With "Now!", the character is faced with the dilemma of wanting something that is not accessible. The song is written out of the perspective of a insect which tries to get nectar from a plant. But the song is also a love song. Dealing with the unavailability of the juice that is the object of desire, the subject decides to look for another flower. The trippy vocal Effects and instrumentation further emphasize the disconnect of desire and availability. Heavy Piano chords, reverby guitars and smooth synths play on this contrast of states.

lyrics

Over the time I had to learn that
I just gotta wait for you
I mean I really want to, but I can't
I got other things to do you what I mean
I can not wait for you, come on..

You’re so attractive to me
But what it means if I don't get to know what you’re gonna give to me
I know you’re physically here
but could you ever bother thinking 'bout how I may be feeling?
Maybe it's not important
Maybe I'm overreacting
Maybe I gotta take you as you are
Enjoy what I'm getting
But damn, I really wanna see you open up
Because you got my trust
But now you look so stiff
As if somebody pulled the plug
And it's it tryna hide your feelings
But to me you look sick and you don't seem to have juice at all
So what am I gon’ get
Just a couple of minutes
Maybe not even more
Couple of days is that really what I'm fighting for?
Cuz I don't wanna pay that shit, it’s something I cannot afford
But still you being grown
I hope you hold your soul
A moment of love’s worth more than gold
Or so I'm told
But why talking ‘bout the love if I don't know what I'm in for?
You’re treating me as if I would be treating you
Like you ain't nothing special I know you are
But please let me be me
And please send me some kind of sign that you see me too
Ain't even asking for a full bloom
But you know, if you keep going like that I’ll be gone soon
At least warm it up a little bit
I mean I can smell that you're already close to it
Please just let me get a sip
You brought me here don't tell me it was just a trick
I know you got the power smell sour
Man, I gotta find me another flower

The moment I’ve been waiting for
For you
You are the one that I've been waiting for so please
Open up slowly
Open up
Amorphophallus titanum

You’re the biggest flower, complex
You’re not the most beautiful
But the beauty lies hidden
You’re unorthodox
But damn you smell foul
It's what it is
We cannot trust you
Give me one reason I should be waiting for you
We’ve been waiting for years
