This is, clearly, about people who don't care to think. The title is about the roman empire story, which relates to the rest of the song as the 'people in the dining room' are satisfyied with borning and dying. They don't think. They think, but about futile things like sex, money, etc. Actually they don't care to think, they are alienated. the strophe which says- Eu quis cantar Minha canção iluminada de sol Soltei os panos sobre os mastros no ar Soltei os tigres e os leões nos quintais Mas as pessoas na sala de jantar São ocupadas em nascer e morrer and Mandei fazer De puro aço luminoso um punhal Para matar o meu amor e matei Às cinco horas na Avenida Central Mas as pessoas na sala de jantar São ocupadas em nascer e morrer The writter, although trying to write a intelligent song, although singing his 'canção iluminada de sol' and although 'killing his love at 5:00 in the central avenue', can't get any merit, because the people on the dining room won't think about it. They are all occupied in borning and dying. |

| Emilíana Torrini – Today Has Been OK Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i think she is saying about how her friends keep telling her to feel ok, although she is not able to because of her lost boyfriend. 'Friends tell me it's spring My window show the same' her friends tell her everything is fine but she can't feel fine 'All the same I miss you Today has been ok Today has been ok' the day was the same for her as the others was, she is feeling down, which has already become normal to her 'Wind has burned your skin The lovely air so thin The salty water's underneath your feet No one's gone in vain Here is where you'll stay 'Cause life has been insane but Today has been ok Today has been ok Today has been ok Today has been ok' again she is saying about how she feel the same, but it's ok to her. |
