The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Need You Now" by the artist "Wonderland"

Contents

The song "Need You Now" by Wonderland portrays a woman grappling with an overwhelming need for her ex-lover. Surrounded by photographs that trigger memories, she finds herself unable to fight the overwhelming emotions. Alcohol only intensifies her longing and desire to call him, breaking her own promise.

The recurring phrase "I need you now" emphasizes her desperation and dependence on her former partner. She acknowledges her weakness, her inability to cope with the loneliness and pain of the breakup.

The song culminates in the confession: "I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all." This line reflects the depth of her love and despair. Even the pain of his absence seems preferable to emptiness.

"Need You Now" is an anthem for anyone who has experienced the agonizing desire to be with someone who is no longer there.

Picture perfect memories

Scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone ‘cause

I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I

Ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone

And I need you now

Said I wouldn't call

But I've lost all control

And I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey

Can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping

In the way you did before

And I wonder if I

Ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm a little drunk

And I need you now

Said I wouldn't call

But I've lost all control

And I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

I just need you now

Whoa, whoa

Guess I'd rather hurt

Than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone

And I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call

But I'm a little drunk

And I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

I just need you now

I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

I need you now
