Metric - Now Or Never Now Lyrics

Wow. What a Great Song.

Man would i ever rail that blonde

Great song for always!

Metric creates music that makes me wanna find a door in it, walk inside and stay in there forever.

It's my birthday today. Had a good one too, but the lyrics of this song ring truer than ever, I am getting older. and I feel these lyrics so closely:


""Now Or Never Now"

It hurts to turn the radio on
Stamina's gone
My spirit is weak
Because every time I start to move on
Keep hearing that song
I'm brought to my knees
To permanently see in reverse
Take the remorse out of defeat
Because everything that's under my skin
Where I end and begin
Still belongs to me

I'm fine to sit and stare at the door
Can't run anymore
Too weary to stand
I'm bound in the effect with the cause
My life is on pause
It's out of my hands
To perfectly perform in reverse
There's no way to rehearse
There's nothing to plan
Because everything that's under my skin
Where I end and begin
That's who I am

Oh, only silence can restore
The sense of place I had before
Oh, only silence can repair
My sense of self I lost somewhere
Oh oh, oh, only silence can restore
The sense of place I had before
Oh, only silence can repair
My sense of self I lost somewhere

Because the last time I let myself feel this way
It was a long, long time ago
And now we get so scared, and we get so scared
To be nowhere left alone"




I've been permanently seeing in reverse for some time, my stamina's gone, my spirit is week, but yet where I end and begin still belongs to me ya know? To date or love again....The last time I let myself feel that way was a long long time ago. But being scared never helped anyone. Silence can repair some things, but it often isolates oneself. We can't turn back time, we can only live now, or spend the rest of our time reminiscing on what could have been. Time to live again. Time to let me feel that way again even if it was a long long time ago


Because it's now or never now!


Live your life or die trying!

Good song. But some of the comments here make me want to cover myself in sprinkles and sunshine rainbows. Super awesome happy times yay! PUKE.....

Always remember kids, music... timeless... spirits and love... forever or something? Does that sparkle with you?

Joubert Jr. Dupuy is right. All metric songs are good.

Look I'm a comment

Metric MGMT empire of the sun concert

Is this song was in Stranger things 3?

God damn Emily is sexy

It's now or never!

Loved hearing this on the radio on the way to a party

I'm so happy to hear this song

My mom loves this song

Love the red hallway. Very Gaspar Noe.

Love it! <3

So... was she a mermaid at the end?

Thank you! Your work helped me out through a deployment. METRIC!!

SENSACIONAL!!!!!

Just love her vocals though...wheww

Metric 🔥🔥🔥✔✔✔

Emily looks wonderful in an otherwise completely pointless music video.

Intro sounds like Up Dharma Down's "Turn It Well"

I secretly pretend every metric song is Envy Addams singing with Night at the Demonhead.

Whatta chill voice

Wow, what a Great Song

♪♥
You wanted to make a hit song so you drown it in the 90s.

А где такой классный бар в Америке, я хочу побухать там!!!

Did Emily find the fountain of youth? Too fine!

Fr, tho, Metric never disappoints. The visuals here are almost as pleasing as the song itself. Great work.

See them live, it was everything I ever wanted.

How come they are not popular in the U.S. ?

The show I went to in TX was packed full

Just a phenomenal tune - will be listening to this for years.

How many years? 4? 5? 20??

I LOVE YOUR MIND EMILY

I keep telling this to my engineer colleagues in the US

so cute woman.

To me this song is about acute depression that you haven't felt in a long while and it hits you like a truck...everything hurts...even turning on the radio. But you can still repair with solitude (silence)...because of the power of now...or never.

i like it

Poetry in motion.

Great video!

How I knew this would suck:


1:53


They put this guy in their video




looooooooooooooooooooooooool

Last 7 years or so I've been wondering what ever happened to this band. Nobody that I know down here in Texas has heard of this band. Well, maybe in Austin, but other than there, music sucks down here, it's either rap, pop, or country.

this is pop music... lol

@The Loner MillionaireIt's pop(ish) but at least they are all extremely talented musicians. If you've ever seen them live, you'd know they are a jam band that know how to seriously fucking rock out. 5 min songs turn into 15 min songs that you can get totally lost in. Top notch live show.

They've been putting out albums the whole time!

Another gem from the algorithms … It's a grower, to the other tracks ...

Now or never I've been forever...

Not that smart to call yourself Metric if you want to succeed in USA.

Since they're Canadian, I think that's what they were going for lol

AWESOME!!!

Fucking love this song. This song touches the deepest parts of my brain

Thanks Emily and the guys of Metric for making music! If it wasn't for you guys my road trips would be boring..people are always looking at me weird for rocking out in my truck. I need to put a sticker that says
"⬆️because of Metric⬆️"

😂 that s sentence make my day

Beautiful song <3

THE GARBAGE MAN

Listen<<<<<<< which is the word for 202020202020202020202020202<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

i need ust a question Emily were you ever in Moose Jaw and did we get high (on life on life) togather, and side question how was Paris, herd you had a great performance, i missed you when i was in Saskatoon, im still kicking mysel, come to Regina, so the pain can stop, i love your fan (no crazy obsetion, im too lazy to be a stalker) hoews that fro not following thru A dad said reach for the startz son never give up hop and whatever yopu do dont do it half ass.. love you giys always and keep up the great work, rock out with your knockers exposed.

Metric and Phantogram are amazing.

Honestly one of the rare recent pop bands that I truly enjoy. It's been a while since someone made me want to travel back through their catalog and liked them even more.

IM STILL LIKING THIS BAND! 12 YRS GOING

Love the rhythm patterns: some on beat, some off, some grace-noted, and some out of time. Refreshing!

It's now or never, becoming one with the ocean of tears, falling down to the face of the earth, sinking deep into your sorrow. I can feel what it's like inside, behind your eyes, I can feel what it's like, to drown within, the ocean of tears, be streaming down my cheek, I don't feel so weak. I feel the humbleness stream within my years passing inside. I seek a life without remorse, no tears for joy can reside, as long as I'm living deep inside, I wanna reside next to my yearning for a new tomorrow, I can't, live, without the sorrow seeping deep within, I wanna sink in, to the depths without remorse for the wickedness inside, looms over me, I wanna sink in, I wanna seep within, bleeding out the tears that follow, my yearning for another tomorrow, with the lights so bright, I want to sink inside. My sorrow sinks without you at my side, I cry, silent tears that follow through the years, without you, at my side, I sink within. there's gotta be something I'm seeking, something to sink in, something to sink, something to think, something to think without you... I gave you my tears, I gave you my years, I need something to think without you at my side. Something to think about.

LCD sounds

The perfect mixture of modern and 80s music

This is fucking garbage. Pretentious trash. When the popular kids in high school make music without soul. This is such crap and you're all fucking loser sheep for praising it.

This is grown-ups music. For those from '80s. Or at least someone who feels the music

@croki Wrong. this is SHITTY music.

@Furthericity Ok. Whatever you say. Enjoy your super duper music whatever that is. I suppose 1,855,273 views are view from people that listen shitty music

I just like em for the sexy blonde lol jk.. They are fuckin talented as fuck...gold n guns got me hooked. Love tht song . It had a mix of abba and uh idn wht but i loce tht song.

How Metric are not one of the biggest bands in the world right now truly baffles me.

This slaps

October 2019 here

I've never heard of this band, but I'm glad YouTube recommended this video to me out of nowhere

Reminds me of high school. This band has aged like a fine wine

Neon Trees and The Killers vibes wow wow

Toronto in da house:)

the music is great but the harrowing details of a suicide is turned into something simple.

She hit the wall. Such a shame.

This is such a great song. Heard it for the first time at ACL last weekend and can't stop listening to it.

Is anyone else interpreting the ending as a suicide?

Or does everyone acknowledge it but don't want to talk about it in the comments section?

@Tony Au 😂😂 speak for yourself please and don't ask to yall for an agrement that kind of murder. plus. we don't care about you

Evy Grany “ask to yall for an agrement that kind of murder”? What kind of 1st grade gibberish are you trying to write here? Go back to school little girl.

@Tony Au how ? you don't know that nowadays speaking/writing about suicide as pp agree with that is a kind of consent. just sayin. now think that you want.

hate myself that find this 2 late
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

THIS SINGER IS BEAUTIFUL

SO FUCKING GOOD STILL

Emily Haines is not only an old lady, but she is also a genius, I love her.

2019...still listening

what a bad music. overused synth pop from 70s

I like it 🖒🖒🖒

Moral of the song: commit suicide by drowning.

Real defined music with edge! The words just take you and bring you into a world of your own.

This is a great example of a brilliant woman artists. I admire her craft so much. I want to introduce my daughter to this kinda musician instead of all that slutty pop crap. And like all my favorite artists, eveery track they drop is powerful and groovey.

This has the really cool synthwave vibe with some edge, I am a little late to this party in 2019. Likes all around this video.

Yeah what the hell Jeff??? You were supposed to be here years ago. We've been waiting ages you inconsiderate music lover!!

If the oppurtunity ever arises to see Metric live, do it. You will not be let down. They're amazing. It was my first time hearing them and It was out of this world from start to finish!

I was being driven somewhere a couple of days ago and this song was being played. It blew me away. I've never heard of this group but they're awesome.

Love Metric !

City of Miami Beach

Damn, she's a knockout.

you are sexy Emily, just to say the obvious out loud. ♥

sSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUCH WELL CONSTRUCTED MUSIC.\
REMINDS ME OF MY TIME WITH CHURCHHILL IN vAN COUVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

mY dick is snake
'

amazing song. that's it.

I discovered this band in "Scott Pilgrim vs the World", I'm now one of there biggest fan...

It hurts to turn the radio on
Stamina's gone
My spirit is weak
Because every time I start to move on
Keep hearing that song
I'm brought to my knees
To permanently see in reverse
Take the remorse out of defeat
Because everything that's under my skin
Where I end and begin
Still belongs to me
I'm fine to sit and stare at the door
Can't run anymore
Too weary to stand
I'm bound in the effect with the cause
My life is on pause
It's out of my hands
To perfectly perform in reverse
There's no way to rehearse
There's nothing to plan
Because everything that's under my skin
Where I end and begin
That's who I am
Oh, only silence can restore
The sense of place I had before
Oh, only silence can repair
My sense of self I lost somewhere
Oh oh, oh, only silence can restore
The sense of place I had before
Oh, only silence can repair
My sense of self I lost somewhere
Because the last time I let myself feel this way
It was a long, long time ago
And now we get so scared, and we get so scared
To be nowhere left alone
Because the last time you let yourself feel this way
It was a long, long time ago
And now we get so scared, and we get so scared
To be nowhere left alone
Because it's now or never now
It's now or never now, now, now
Because it's now or never now
It's now or never now, now, now
Because it's now or never now
It's now or never now, now, now
Because it's now or never now
It's now or never now, now, now, now, now, now, now

I love this band and I think this is my favorite song. Its having been a fan for so long that makes this song so good to me though.

What a track!

This song has been made by angles 💖

Was the video always 4:26 I feel like it was longer

This looks like she's in South Florida, Miami... Great Song!

@sebastianstarr007 There are beaches in California too 0.o

@Rare Candy Right, I know.. But the Sun rises in the East. In L.A. the ocean is to the West, you watch the Sun set in the ocean in LA, and watch Sun rises out of the Ocean in Miami. Unless.. Just maybe...we are watching her preform in reverse, than maybe it's L.A... Or maybe shot in Miami and L.A.

*sebastianstarr007* ... 3:03 the sign reads:
LUMMUS PARK
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH

@social isolation yeah im thinking they shot in both places

I lived in Miami Beach for many years. At 0:15 is the Parisian Hotel on Miami Beach. But the Los Candiles Night Club is in Los Angeles.

Perfection

white music. I love it

Paint yourself as the asshole. Noh so sad sitting alone at the bar being a whore. So artsy, Coutos to the director for his life experience.
