Chari Chari Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Words are flowing out like
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me.

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

Images of broken light, which
Dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

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

Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Overall Meaning

"Frankie Valentine" is not the title of the song, but "Across the Universe" by The Beatles. The song is a psychedelic ballad that describes the journey of the mind and imagination through the Universe. The opening lines, "Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup," are a metaphor for the constant flow of thoughts and ideas that can overwhelm our minds. The verses detail the constant struggle of emotions, with pools of sorrow and waves of joy constantly drifting through the opened mind. The chorus, which repeats the lines "Nothing's gonna change my world," creates a sense of acceptance and peace.

The song contains several references to Eastern spirituality and philosophy, including the phrase "Jai Guru Deva Om," which means "Victory to God divine" and is commonly used in Hindu mantras. The line "Limitless undying love, which/Shines around me like a million suns" also echoes the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality according to Hindu philosophy.

The lyrics also contain imagery of broken light and dancing eyes, which suggest a sense of disorientation and confusion. Similarly, the line "Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box" expresses a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "Jai Guru Deva," which suggests a sense of reverence and devotion to the divine.
