Fiona Apple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you′ll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
Traveling in a world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you′ll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There′s nothing to it
The lyrics to Fiona Apple's song Pure Imagination are about allowing oneself to embrace creativity, imagination, and dreaming. It invites the listener to come along on a journey into a world of pure imagination. The first few lines, "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination", set the stage for a psychedelic and surreal experience, while "Take a look and you'll see into your imagination" invites reflection and introspection.
The next lines, "We'll begin with a spin, traveling in a world of my creation. What we'll see will defy explanation" suggest a departure from reality and a willingness to enter into a different realm, one that is created in the mind of the singer. The song continues with a message that anything is possible, and encourages the listener to explore and view the world with imagination, an invitation to view paradise, and to change the world.
The repetition of the lines, "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it" reinforces the point that imagination, creativity, and dreaming can lead to a limitless and magical world that can inspire and transform.
