… Read Full Bio ↴Flannel Graph is an Alternative/Folk band formed in Kalispell, MT, USA.
Flannel Graph consists of Shayla Smith and Leon Gregory, both from Kalispell, Montana. Their first record, Five Foot Three, is a five song EP recorded and produced by Smith in her makeshift home recording studio. The songs are an intimate and folky expedition through the eyes of various modernized Bible characters, gritty sailors, and through Smith's own eyes as a young female lacking in height but not in heart.
Pure Imagination
Flannel Graph 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
With a spin
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'll want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no
Life I know
That compares to 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'll want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no
Life I know
That compares to pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you truly wish to be
In this song, Flannel Graph invites listeners to come with them on a journey to a world of pure imagination, where anything is possible. They encourage the listener to take a look into their own imagination and see what wonders lie beyond. The song suggests that through imagination, we can travel to a world of our own creation, where the impossible becomes possible.
The lyrics "What we'll see will defy explanation" suggest that the world of pure imagination is impossible to fully comprehend or explain, as it is beyond the limits of our usual experiences. We are then told that if we want to view paradise, we simply need to look around and view it, indicating that paradise can be found within our own imagination, and anything we want to achieve or change is possible if we truly wish to.
The song ends with the repeated line, "If you truly wish to be", emphasizing that the power of imagination lies within each individual, and it is up to us to tap into it and let ourselves be free.
