Today Has Been OK
Embracing Seasons of Loss and Love in 'Today Has Been OK'
Lyrics
Friends tell me it's spring
Friends indicate that it's springtime.
My windows show the same
Despite the season, the view from the windows remains unchanged.
Without you here, the seasons pass me by
Without the presence of a significant other, the passing seasons feel unnoticed.
I know you were not new
Acknowledges that the person was not a new addition to life.
It looked like May and June
The appearance resembled the months of May and June.
All the same, I miss you
Despite similarities, there is a longing or a sense of missing the person.
Today has been okay today has been okay
Reflects on the day, expressing that it has been okay.
Preacher lost his son
A preacher has lost his son.
He's known by all in town
The son's loss is known to everyone in town.
He found him with another son of God
The son is found in a compromising situation with another person of religious significance.
Feeding on the prayer
The individuals involved are consuming prayers or faith in a way that may be inappropriate.
Never mind what God says
Disregarding what God may say or command.
But love has lost it's cause
Love seems to have lost its purpose or justification.
And I thought today had been okay
Despite the events, the narrator thought the day had been okay.
Today has been okay today has been okay
Reiteration that today has been okay.
Wind has burned your skin
The wind has caused damage to the skin.
The lovely air so thin
The air is described as lovely but thin.
Salty water's underneath your feet
Salty water is beneath the feet, indicating a coastal or emotional reference.
No one's gone in vain
No one's existence is without purpose or in vain.
Here is where you'll stay
Where the person is now is where they will remain.
'Cause life has been insane but
Life has been chaotic or unpredictable, but...
Today has been okay today has been okay
Reiteration that today has been okay.
Today has been okay today has been okay
