Today
岡村孝子 Lyrics

The lyrics of 岡村孝子's song TODAY describe a couple driving in a cold and dark night, through the bright and disappearing lights of the city. It seems that the singer of the song is trying to appreciate the ordinary moments of life, as they wish to live the dull and mundane present days in a loving way. They hold their partner's hand, trying to feel their heartbeat and find comfort in their presence. The song also mentions the struggles of hiding one's emotions and pretending to be strong, which ultimately leads to feeling isolated and alone. The singer suggests to their loved one not to act like everything is perfect, as everyone has moments of weakness they need to overcome. The song ends with the singer promising to always be by their loved one's side, even in difficult times, as they search for a brighter tomorrow together.
