Beth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah
Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain
where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone.
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
The above lyrics are from The Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" which was released in 1967. The song starts off with an unusual setting where the listener is asked to picture themselves in a boat on a river, surrounded by tangerine trees and marmalade skies. As the song progresses, the listener is introduced to a girl with kaleidoscope eyes who is seen amongst cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over their head. The lyrics then shift to the chorus, where the girl is referred to as Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
As the song continues further, the singer encourages the listener to follow Lucy to a bridge by the fountain, where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. The imagery depicted in the song is surreal but also pretty, and everyone smiles as the listener drifts past the incredibly high flowers. The lyrics then take the listener to the shore where newspaper taxis appear, waiting to take them away. Once the listener climbs in the back of the taxi with their head in the clouds, they're gone.
Finally, towards the end of the song, the listener is asked to picture themselves on a train in a station, where plasticine porters with looking glass ties can be seen. Then suddenly, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes appears at the turnstile. The song ends on this note, leaving the listener with an image of this magical girl, who they have been following throughout the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
Imagine being in a peaceful environment, like a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
The surrounding nature is filled with bright and colorful elements
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
You hear someone calling out to you and you respond lazily
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
You see a girl with unique and unpredictable eyes, like a kaleidoscope
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
There are colorful and translucent flowers towering above you
Towering over your head.
The flowers are much taller than you
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
Try to find the girl who is glowing with happiness and warmth
And she's gone.
As quickly as you spotted her, she disappears
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
The girl's name is Lucy and she seems to be in another world
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Reinforcement of the girl's name and the dreamlike state she's in
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah
Repeated name and an expression of amazement and wonder
Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain
Try to keep up with Lucy as she walks towards a bridge with a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
The environment is surreal, with people who aren't quite normal enjoying strange food
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
People seem to be content and happy as you pass by the beautiful flowers
That grow so incredibly high.
The flowers are growing to an unbelievable height
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Suddenly, taxis made of newspaper appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
The taxis are there to take you far away from reality
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
Get into the back of a taxi with your thoughts in a dreamlike state
And you're gone.
As you ride away, everything else slowly fades away
Picture yourself on a train in a station
Imagine being in a train station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
The workers in the station are strange, with ties made of reflective material
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
Out of nowhere, someone appears at the entrance of the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
It's Lucy again, with her unpredictable and unique looking eyes.
