Across The Universe
\Beatles Lyrics

Words are flowing out like Endless rain into a paper cup They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
The writer is having trouble expressing themselves, feeling as though their thoughts are escaping their control like water pouring out of a cup, drifting away and leaving them feeling uncertain.

Pools of sorrow waves of joy Are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me.
The writer's mind is a constant battleground of positive and negative emotions, all of which they experience deeply and intimately.

Jai Guru Deva. Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world
The chant 'Jai Guru Deva. Om' is a calming, reassuring phrase for the writer, who feels that nothing will be able to fundamentally alter their inner world, regardless of external circumstances.

Images of broken light, which Dance before me like a million eyes, They call me on and on across the universe.
The writer is being pulled in many directions by various distractions, feeling as though they are being beckoned by a million different things.

Thoughts meander like a Restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
The writer's thoughts are elusive and directionless, like a gust of wind trapped inside a box, moving aimlessly and without purpose.

Sounds of laughter, shades of life Are ringing through my opened ears Inciting and inviting me.
The writer is acutely aware of the richness of life around them, hearing its many colors and textures and feeling attracted and intrigued by it all.

Limitless undying love, which Shines around me like a million suns, It calls me on and on across the universe
The writer feels enveloped in a boundless, eternal love that is as bright and warm as the sun, and this love beckons them to explore and experience more of the world around them.

Jai Guru Deva, om. Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world
The repetition of 'Jai Guru Deva. Om' and 'Nothing's gonna change my world' reinforces the writer's conviction that their inner world is unshakeable, no matter what they encounter.

Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva Jai Guru Deva
The writer ends the song with a final chant of 'Jai Guru Deva', repeating the message that they are grounded and unshakeable amid the turbulent universe around them.
