Today
Emi Fujita 藤田恵美 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 song "Today" by Emi Fujita is a melodious and introspective ballad that reflects on the present moment as being the greatest one the singer has ever experienced. The repeated phrasing "Today is the greatest day I've ever known" is a testament to the feeling of being alive, and not wanting to worry about the future or the past. The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency, with the singer feeling that tomorrow is much too long, emphasizing the need to live in the present. This line is followed by "I'll burn my eyes out before I get out," which may be interpreted as the singer wanting to experience everything that life has to offer before she dies.
The song touches on themes of dissatisfaction and regret, expressing a desire for more than life has granted. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been burdened by the constant effort to maintain a façade of perfection or social expectation, which has left her feeling bored by the chore of "saving face." The line "pink ribbon scars that never forget" could be interpreted as being marks of emotional trauma or reminders of past hurts, while "my angel wings were bruised and restrained" speaks to feelings of confinement or oppression. The final repetition of the line "I want to turn you on" suggests a desire for connection and to share the joy of the present moment with others.
