Today
Charles Butler & Trinity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no way to go
Don't know where I've been before
Or how I'll get back home tomorrow
Cannot seem to sleep alone
Dreams are just fading decay
Don't know where I'll be like yesterday
And even though I try to receive
And even though I try, I can't seem to perceive
And I can't hear the way, you can't seem to believe
What's really that you say
Why don't you come back home
Back to where you built your sorrow
To the place I can't remember
I look out on to your porch
Find a rock with a smile
Then I wake and find its yester-year
And even though I try to receive
And even though I try, I can't seem to perceive
And I can't hear the way, you can't seem to believe
You can't give it all away
When tomorrow is today
Today
Today
Tomorrow Is Today
And it can fade away
Just like you fade from me
Don't know how to say
The few that flew away
Just how "we" chose to stay
Tomorrow Is Today
And even though I try to receive
And even though I try, I can't seem to perceive
And I can't hear the way, you can't seem to believe




You can't give it all away
When tomorrow is today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Charles Butler & Trinity's "Today" speak to the confusion and lost feeling that can come with navigating one's way through life. The opening lines describe a sense of aimlessness and uncertainty, with the singer not knowing where they've been or where they're going. They are unable to find comfort even in their dreams, which are described as "fading decay" - a poignant image of the singer's disconnection from themselves and their surroundings.
In the chorus, the lyrics shift to focus on someone else, perhaps a loved one or a person who has been a source of support in the past. The singer pleads with this person to come back to them, back to the place where they once found solace. However, this other person is unable to believe what the singer is saying, and so they remain separated. The final lines identify the central tension of the song: the sense that time is constantly moving forward, and with it, the possibility of change, loss, and disappointment. The singer wants to hold on to what they have, but they know that they cannot give it all away, especially when "tomorrow is today."


Overall, "Today" speaks to the challenge of finding meaning and purpose in an ever-changing world. The singer feels lost, unsure of where they belong, and desperately seeking a sense of stability and connection. At the same time, they are deeply aware of the impermanence of life and the inevitability of loss. This tension between longing and acceptance is what makes the song both poignant and relatable.
