Today
(aura) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today get your cinnamon and pray
For the beauty of our land and
For the secrets, for the moments
That we use to share
Leather, covers, broken glasses,
Playing music and the rain,
Spinning around, swimming, jumping
In a world of sound, you are always
In my favourite dreams,
Lovely, tender and proud
You may be
Running around, searching, looking for something
To find while I'm still here waiting for you,
Do you see me at all my sweet sweet sweet love?
Today there is nothing left to say
Today there is nothing left to say
We all know that
Just a word can break as into pieces
So that we cannot forget
Leather, covers, broken glasses,
Playing music and the rain,
Airplanes, morbid phrases turning into dust
Spinning around, swimming, jumping
In a world of sounds
You are always in my favourite dreams,
Lovely tender and proud
You may be
Running around searching, looking for something
To find while I'm still here waiting for you,
Do you see me at all my sweet love?
Black and white photographs,
Dirty clothes, two guitars
Dirty clothes, two guitars…
Spinning around, swimming, jumping
In a world of sounds you are always in my favourite
Dreams, lovely tender and proud
You may be
Running around searching, looking for something to find
While I'm still here waiting for you
Do you see me at all my sweet sweet sweet love?
The lyrics of (aura)'s song "Today" seem to focus on reminiscing about a past relationship that was full of beauty, secrets and moments of shared experience. The opening line, "Today get your cinnamon and pray", could be seen as a call to action to the listener, almost as if they are being prompted to take a moment to reflect on the beauty around them in the present day. However, this sentiment quickly shifts to focus on memories of the past, with the lyrics recalling leather, covers, broken glasses, and playing music in the rain. The use of "morbid phrases turning into dust" suggests that even the most beautiful memories will eventually fade away, highlighting the fleeting nature of life and relationships.
The chorus is simple and direct, repeating the line "Running around searching, looking for something to find while I'm still here waiting for you, do you see me at all my sweet love?" several times. This is a poignant line, highlighting the wistful longing of the singer who is waiting for their lover to return. The song seems to be both celebrating past memories and looking forward to a potential future, with the singer openly asking if their love still sees them in the present day.
Overall, the lyrics of "Today" could be interpreted as a bittersweet meditation on the fleeting nature of life and relationships, and the importance of valuing the present while also holding onto precious memories of the past.

Lyrics
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've never known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

I don't know what traumas and challenges you've experienced, and I want to offer some enlightening advice, but I genuinely don't feel like I'm in the position to offer anything. I would argue to change your perspective, but that only works for me because I'm not suffering too hard right now (college kid, living at home with folks).
That's not to say I haven't been severely depressed before, but luckily a change in schools helped a lot. Unfortunately, it's not usually that easy to get out of the rut. I was scared to make change because of the uncertainty, but realized that I didn't really have many friends to begin with, so what's the worst that can happen? More bullying? Not likely since literally the entire grade was new (the school had just opened a middle school at the time)
I currently have an addiction as well (video games). Luckily my poison of choice isn't something I'm chemically dependent on, so I'm grateful for that.
When it comes to addiction, I'd recommend maybe winging yourself off of your drug of choice (unless you're clean, congrats, and ignore thi) and letting those around you be aware of your issues and tell them that you have a plan and ask them to monitor you closely, so you don't relapse. I've been in situations where I'm like "I've done a good job, let me play for an hour" and realize I just spent all day online. I need my folks to moderate my behavior so I don't 'overdose'. I watch YouTube and write programs to prevent relapse
regardless, hope your life gets better : )

Oh man, I don't know where to begin.
First of all--Thank you for your comment. It shows empathy, and we all sure as hell need more of that.
There are a couple things though...
My drug of choice with video games has to be Mario Bros. 3 on original NES, haha. Showing my age here.
I'm not quite sure what withdrawal from video games would be like, but any addict will tell you this--Be happy it's not drugs.
*Please do not suggest "winging it" to get off chemicals though. This is dangerous. Withdrawal from a whole assortment of things can kill you. I've been there. Weaning is the best. I've lost enough friends.
Enjoy the living at home thing, it won't last. And college... well I was forced to go to community college by my parental units. I preferred to work instead. Back in those days jobs were easier to find. I went to that college, but would just leave. Then four planes were hijacked and all our lives changed. No more fake going to school. I cut my folks off years ago, no contact. Clueless to this day as to why they even had kids. So be happy you don't have to worry if you'll have a place to sleep tonight.
I don't really know what to say to ya though, you're so young. I haven't talked to anyone your age in decades. I could be old enough to be your mom maybe (41 today).
I worry for the younger generations. You guys missed out on so much. I never had kids so I don't really know the "adult" advice to give ya.
I just want you to be strong, happy and don't let the world get ya down (too much). We all need you young folks.
Anyways, I did get off my drug of choice (heroin) like 4ish years ago when fentanyl took over. Shit's not worth it. But when you're 41 and have been chemically dependent since age 13 your brain and body change. I will never be fully "sober", nor do I want to be. Some people just truly need the help of meds.
One bit of advice I can give ya with your video game issue, I would try to start to swap that out a bit (wean!) with something else you like so you're not playing as much. And don't ever beat yourself up if you slip. Relapse is part of recovery.
Thank you for talking to me. You seem like a good egg. Back to my B-Day Breakfast Beer. I'm rooting for you.--C

This song really embodies the feeling of “having nothing specific to be sad about, but also having nothing to be happy about”
@okjeffy6581
To me, it’s the feeling of not knowing if you should be happy or sad.
