Song lyrics
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

racefortheiris, concerning those lyrics... could it not be something to do with suicide? "pink ribbon scars that never forget..." and the next lines "I tried so hard To cleanse these regrets..." I know that it is a typical conclusion to come to, but it does make some sort of sense. Especially if you put it into the context of the song itself. You could say that it "today" is a realization for the person, whether or not they are past their depressive stage or just sinking futhur into it. Anyways, most definately a great song but an ultra awesome band!

Mien, finally someone is talking about the lyrics!
I also love this part of the song, but there is one line, which I'm not sure about the meaning:"pink ribbon scars that never forget"....
what is the meaning?

....this song is really great

yeah i love this song, either this or ava adore are my favourites by them. I don't think Tonight, Tonight or Disarm are their best songs, Today is just a great rock song.
