Pop Song 384 of 500 'Today' Smashing Pumpkins 1993
The song, though seemingly upbeat, contains dark lyrics; Corgan wrote the song about a day in which he was having suicidal thoughts. The contrast between the grim subject matter of the song and the soft instrumental part during the verses, coupled with use of irony in the lyrics, left many listeners unaware of the song's tale of depression and desperation. The song alternates between quiet, dreamy verses and loud choruses with layered, distorted guitar
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 wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day that
I have ever really known
