Overall Meaning

The song 'Today and Tomorrow' by Sense Field is essentially about feeling alone and wanting to be understood by someone else. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows what it feels like to be alone and what other people may think in such situations. The imagery used in the lyrics such as "running water" and "pouring rain" are metaphors for emotions that the singer feels in isolation. They long to be covered by these feelings, like a blanket of sorts, and to be understood by someone.

The lyrics also seem to suggest that the singer wants to come out of their shell and be seen by others but feels like they need someone else to help them do so. They long for someone to "cover them with what they want", which suggests that they have specific needs that aren't being met. The repetition of this lyric "cover you with what you want" suggests that this is a significant desire for the singer.

Overall the song is about longing for connection and understanding, and feeling like someone else could offer that to them. It's a poignant and emotional portrayal of loneliness and the desire for connection.
