Need Me Now
Yearning for Escape: The Motive's 'Need Me Now' Unveiled
Lyrics
Have I been coasting all my life?
Questioning whether the speaker has been passively navigating through life.
Or wasting all my time?
Contemplating if time has been wasted.
Two years we sat around this town,
Reflecting on spending two years in a town and having aspirations to leave.
and dreamed of leaving.
Shared dreams of departing from the current situation.
When we go back I get the feeling, its like looking back instead of dreaming.
Expressing a nostalgic feeling when looking back, contrasting with forward-looking dreams.
I need a way out, I need you by my side.
Desiring an escape and the presence of someone important.
Have you ever had the feeling, you don't notice me around?
Wondering if someone fails to notice the speaker's presence.
Maybe I'm too blind to see it, you've changed and you don't need me now.
Suspecting a change in the other person's attitude, feeling no longer needed.
I need to take my keys and drive, won't stop till the city's out of sight.
Expressing a need to drive away from the city until it's out of sight.
I need to leave, won't change my mind.
Committing to the decision to leave without changing one's mind.
Turning my back to fall away, it feels deceiving.
Turning away from a situation, finding it deceptive.
There's not one good reason I should stay, and just this evening,
Justifying departure with the absence of compelling reasons to stay.
When we go back I get the feeling it's like looking back, instead of dreaming.
Reiterating the feeling of looking back instead of dreaming when returning.
I need a way out, I need you by my side.
Expressing the need for an escape and companionship.
Have you ever had the feeling, you don't notice me around?
Revisiting the feeling of being unnoticed by someone.
Maybe I'm too blind to see it, you've changed and you don't need me now.
Believing the other person has changed and no longer requires the speaker.
I need to take my keys and drive, won't stop till the city's out of sight.
Reiterating the desire to drive away until the city disappears.
I need to leave, won't change my mind.
Reaffirming the decision to leave without reconsideration.
When we get back I get the feeling it's like looking back, instead of dreaming.
Echoing the theme of looking back rather than forward when returning.
When we get back I get the feeling it's like looking back, instead of dreaming.
Repeating the sentiment of looking back instead of dreaming upon return.
When we get back I get the feeling it's like looking back, instead of dreaming away, away.
Continuing the theme of looking back instead of dreaming, emphasizing a sense of drifting away.
Have you ever had the feeling, you don't notice me around?
Recalling the feeling of being unnoticed by someone.
Maybe I'm too blind to see it, you've changed and you don't need me now.
Reiterating the suspicion of a change in the other person's perception, feeling unnecessary.
I need to take my keys and drive, won't stop till the city's out of sight.
Emphasizing the determination to drive away until the city is no longer visible.
I need to leave, won't change my mind.
Stating the firm decision to leave without wavering.
Have you ever had the feeling?
Repeating the question of whether someone has ever felt unnoticed.
Have you ever had the feeling?
Reiterating the question about the experience of feeling unnoticed.
Have you ever had the feeling?
Repeating the inquiry about the experience of feeling unnoticed, possibly for emphasis.
