Everything Now is a song about current world, but most specifically about how internet is giving us "Everything now". Even things we don't need
Just check at this:
"Every inch of space in your head
Is filled up with the things that you read"
That's about the information you get in the internet an how it jas become the first source of knowledge. It may refer to wikipedia
"And every film that you've ever seen
Fills the spaces up in your dreams"
That's about how marketing keeps you jumping from one to another movie that you don't even have time to dream. It may refer to youtube
"Every song that I've ever heard
Is playing at the same time, it's absurd"
I think you can get this one. It may refer spotify/apple music
"We turn the speakers up till they break
'Cause every time you smile it's a fake!
Stop pretending, you've got"
Here basically talks about selfies and how they pretend to show happiness. It may refer Instagram/Facebook
"'Til every room in my house is filled with shit I couldn't live without"
Pretty clear, right? Amazon, Ebay, Ali express...
"I need it
(Everything now!) I want it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!)
(Everything now!)"
Now you can get what the chorus is about (pretty catchy by the way)
Then it ends with a very pesimistic message
Every inch of space in my heart is filled with something I'll never start
The ashes of everything now
And then you're black again
Can't make it back again
From everything now"
Ok, the big message of the song is summarized in those lines. We are so concerned about having things and not about loving, that we could probably forget how to love. That love has been consumed by the fire of "everything now"
And there's no way back, "Everything now" came to stay.
It is amazing how this song reflects on current world in a very pesimistic way using a somehow cheerful tune that could have been easily produced during the 70s
