If Not Now, When? Lyrics

It's obvious that there's some sort of religious awakening present in this song. In the first verse, it's like he's saying, "I've done so much, I been higher than high, I've felt so good; none of it, though, has made me feel as good as this does."

In the second verse, he's asks whomever, "Even though we've had all of this fun, haven't you felt like something's been missing?"

And in the final verses, I hear words that have a biblical feel to me. "Stand up and face the bright light. Don't hide your eyes." It's as if these guys have matured so much, and have now humbled themselves to the max.

I will always love this band.

My Interpretation

definitely don't think it's about religion at all ejonesing. but if that what it means to you then awesome.

I most definitely think it's about taking chances. the song is pretty self explanatory. it's about seizing that one opportunity because if not now, when?
