Today
E.Motion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am also fed up with the common cold.
But I just need to say goodbye
To all the metaphors and lies
That have taken me years to come up with.
Say it's true. Say you like me.
(I like you.)
And as I gently sip this drink,
I think about my lack of future,
And of all the places I could learn to fall in love.
I know I shouldn't waste my time,
I should have been better designed,
Therefore, some things still break.
I am wrecked. I am overblown.
I am also fed up with the fucking common cold!
When I just want to feel alive for the first time in my life,
I just want to feel attractive today.
In "Today" by E.Motion, the singer begins by expressing a sense of exhaustion and disillusionment, conveyed through the use of physical and emotional descriptors such as "wrecked," "overblown," and "fed up." However, the singer also asserts a need to move on from the "metaphors and lies" that they have been holding onto for years. This leads to a plea to the listener to affirm their affection ("say it's true, say you like me"), even if it is only for a night, with the added desire to feel alive and attractive in the present moment.
The middle of the song finds the singer reflecting on their "lack of future" and contemplating where they might find the opportunity to "fall in love." However, insecurities about their own design and the notion that "some things still break" seem to hold them back. The repetition of the opening lines emphasizes the singer's ongoing struggle to reconcile their emotional state with their desire for connection and vitality.
Overall, "Today" explores universal themes of longing, self-doubt, and the search for meaning and connection. The blending of vulnerability and a certain degree of detachment creates a complex, relatable portrait of a person seeking to break through their own barriers and find a deeper sense of fulfillment.

I am also fed up with the common cold.
I'm tired of the physical illness and feeling trapped.
But I just need to say goodbye
I need to let go.
To all the metaphors and lies
To the false illusions and stories that I've created.
That have taken me years to come up with.
Those illusions have been with me for so long.
Say it's true. Say you like me.
Can you be honest with me, do you really like me?
(I like you.)
Yes, I like you too.
Just for the night, for me, it's been eternity..
Time feels like it has stopped, I just want this moment to last forever.
And as I gently sip this drink,
As I casually drink and relax,
I think about my lack of future,
I reflect on the uncertainty of what's to come.
And of all the places I could learn to fall in love.
I wonder where I can find new experiences and opportunities to love.
I know I shouldn't waste my time,
I am aware that I shouldn't be spending time on things that don't matter.
I should have been better designed,
I wish I was formed to handle things better.
Therefore, some things still break.
Despite my efforts, some things still fall apart.
When I just want to feel alive for the first time in my life,
I just want to feel alive and present in the moment.
I just want to feel attractive today.
Today, I want to feel beautiful and confident.
