TALK TALK
- Today Lyrics / with translations(Mark Hollis / Simon Brenner / Paul Webb / Lee Harris)
Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone's else's grief
Numbers, colours to spell my name
Move about as values change
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream aw
ay
Today Today
Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep
Let me take the choice the sermon pleads
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Visions in my cell begin to breed
Was everything a fact of what I'd read
Excuse me while I spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Belle Malissima
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone's else's grief
Numbers, colours to spell my name
Move about as values change
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream aw
ay
Today Today
Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep
Let me take the choice the sermon pleads
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Visions in my cell begin to breed
Was everything a fact of what I'd read
Excuse me while I spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Belle Malissima
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away

✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the track 'Today' from the band Talk Talk deals with the topic of joy and its non-static character, reflecting on the same by inquiring whether happiness is really a matter for some or could it be a free gift for all humankind. The words go through the areas of selfhood, decision making and way of seeing things, thereby implicating the listener of an emotional letdown accompanied by a meaning-seeking process that takes place against the backdrop of social norms and introspection. Today lyrics mainly convey a message of contemplation, loneliness, optimism, despair, and sociopolitical critique. Besides pointing to the gradual downfall of previously held hopes and the search for self and dreams, the song also highlights the factors of one's aspirations and the importance of disillusionment. Some textual expressions may be considered abstract and thus require parental advisory; however, a comparison may be drawn with the areas covered by a lower rating in terms of explicitness, violence, and drug use since the lyrics do not touch upon these issues.
