Imagination
Christy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes the cloudy day sunny
Makes the bee think of honey
Just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
Have you ever felt the gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then, and then
Find it's only your imagination again
Oh, well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me too
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me too
In "Imagination," Christy sings about the power of one's imagination, which can transform a cloudy day into a sunny one and make a bee think of honey, just as the singer thinks of someone special. The lyrics talk about the craziness of imagination, which can blur one's perspective and create a whimsical world where even a daisy can become an advisor. The song also hints at the heartache that comes with the vividness of one's imagination; for instance, the singer describes feeling a gentle touch or a kiss that turns out to be pure imagination.
The song's main theme centers on how imagination can make people behave in silly ways, such as going around willy-nilly or wanting someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. It is a cute and catchy tune that depicts the vibrancy of the human imagination, which can both enchant and perplex the mind. Ultimately, the message of the song is that imagination can brighten up a gloomy day, but it can also create illusions that momentarily give us joy.
