About Today Lyrics

Cover art for About Today lyrics by National, The

This is the sunset of a relationship. This is when love is a dying flame. This is when a man cares so much about a girl, that he lets her walk away. Though he asks about her day, he knows the inevitable and wonders when that day will come when the sun will sink behind the mountain and go to bed alone. We've all been this man, where the woman simply doesnt understand how much we care, nor understand that our life, is her life. In the end, no kindling will restart that flame and you're left to watch her backside disappear into the dying warmth of the evening sun. All this because a man loves a woman.

My Interpretation

This is beautiful, mind if i quote?

Perfectly describes the song.

And perfectly in a terrible sense of loss understanding.

Really well put, made me tear up reading this description. I have been there and at times still feel it now as I'm trying to hold on to something that keeps slipping away. I hope the sun never sinks behind the mountain. Thank you for this.
