Tonight’s Today
Jack Peñate Lyrics

I'm in a haze
I'm in a state of fog or confusion.

An in between stage
I'm in a transitional phase where I'm not quite awake but not completely asleep either.

Cos I'm not awake
Because I'm not fully conscious.

But walk in a state
But I move around in this condition.

Of ghostly charm
In a way that's eerie or supernatural.

A deadly calm
A quiet stillness that suggests something foreboding.

And my filthy palms
My dirty hands.

Reach for the harms
I reach out for things that might hurt me.

Today's tonight tonight's today today's tonight (2x)
The line speaks of a confusion between night and day, where today feels like tonight and vice versa.

Everyday everyday everyday
This line is repeated to emphasize the repetitive nature of the artist's situation.

Tonight just became this morning
The singer realizes that it's already morning at the end of the night.

The sun's waves at the moon
The sun is slowly rising, and the moon is still visible in the sky.

The thought has just started dawning
It's only now that the singer realizes there's still so much that can be done today.

That there's still so much more that I can do
The singer feels as though they've wasted time and want to accomplish more before the day ends.

I shuffle into the sunlight
The singer moves slowly, almost aimlessly, into the new day.

A zombie roaming on the day
The artist looks and feels like a zombie- someone who is undead and disconnected from the world.

She look's at me and says 'What a sight'
A woman sees the artist and is astonished at their bedraggled appearance.

A passing woman says
Someone close to the singer says the following...

Every nights the same
Each and every night is identical, monotonous.

I'm ringing church bells, church bells
The artist probably hears these church bells ringing as an auditory illusion (as if inside their head or in their surroundings).

I'm ringing bells
The artist continues to hear ringing bells, though it's unclear whether these are imagined or not.
