Know me now! Lyrics
If they saw my face, would I still take a bow
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
If they saw my face, would I still take a bow
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
Now I know my place, if science will allow
Will they know me, know me, know me -
Now I'm all alone, it's like some kind of test
My how I have grown, will they know me now
If the human race, with their collective brow
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
Now I'm all alone, it's like some kind of test
My how I have grown, will they know me now
If the human race, with their collective brow
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
Now I know my place, if science will allow
Will they know me, know me, know me -
Now I'm all alone, it's like some kind of test
My how I have grown, will they know me now
If the human race, with their collective brow
Will they know me, know me, know me, now
My how I have grown, will they know me now
If the human race, with their collective brow
Will they know me, know me, know me, now

This song's called "Nomi Song", not "Know Me Now".
It is true; this songs is actually called "The Nomi Song", whch they used as the title for a documentary on his life.
As for the meaning, I believe that it is about being remembered and respected once gone. And this song is refere to Nomi himself since the words "know me" can be interchanged with his last name "Nomi", pronounced the same way.
I love this song, but it makes me sad because I think Klaus Nomi was very alone when he died.
I agree with el reeker. I also think it's about not being understood properly. And about being judged by everyone and somewhat feared "If the human race, with their collective brow Will they know me, know me, know me, now" Klaus Nomi was an alien after all.
It's really more about just being known here. Back in the early 1980's, it was socially acceptable to bash homosexuals for being homosexual. Those who were homosexual at the time were just starting to come out of the woodwork. What he's really saying here is that if the people saw him in person, would they still accept him, since it was pretty obvious from looking at him that he was gay. PS everyone who says this is called "The Nomi Song" is correct.
