Today
Drumsound & 'Bassline' Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever 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
The lyrics to Drumsound & 'Bassline' Smith's song "Today" have been interpreted as a reflection on life's fleeting nature and the desire to seize the day.

The third stanza of the song is particularly poignant as it talks about the scars that never forget and the regrets that can't be cleansed. The singer longs to turn someone on and share the joy of the present moment with them.
