That's Today
Unveiling the Masks: Alyson McNamara's Poignant Reflection on Today's Illusions
Lyrics
Overload, under fire
Feeling overwhelmed and under attack
I'm a joke, you're a liar
Perceiving oneself as a joke while accusing someone else of dishonesty
Mmm
Expression of contemplation or hesitation
Mmm
-Corner light could be lower
Suggesting a desire for a lower profile or less attention
A place to hide, a prison goer
Feeling trapped, akin to being in a prison
Mmm
Continuation of contemplative or uncertain feelings
Mmm
-Don't be fooled, it's all an appearance, a mask
Warning not to be deceived by outward appearances, emphasizing the presence of a facade or mask
I'm afraid to look, I'm afraid to ask
Expressing fear or reluctance to seek the truth
And that's today
Repetition of the phrase "That's today," possibly emphasizing the current state of affairs
That's today
-That's today
-That's today
-Tiger tiger, little sheep
Metaphorical reference to oneself as a tiger and others as little sheep, acknowledging self-deception
Who am I kidding, don't make a peep
Admitting the futility of pretending ("don't make a peep")
Mmm
Continuation of contemplative or uncertain feelings
Mmm
-Did I miss the boat, I was lying upstairs
Questioning if opportunities were missed while engaging in unproductive activities
Watching videos in my underwear
Describing a moment of distraction or procrastination
And that's today
Repetition of the phrase "That's today," reinforcing a sense of immediacy
That's today
-That's today
-That's today
-Mmm
Continuation of contemplative or uncertain feelings
Mmm
