Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
I see the wind
Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel sorrow
Oh, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life
Oh, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world
The lyrics to "Oh" by Flux Fiddlers/John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band express a feeling of newfound clarity and awakening. The singer sings about seeing and feeling things for the first time in their life, perhaps indicating a moment of emotional enlightenment or realization. The repetition of the phrases "Oh my love" and "Oh my lover" suggest that this awakening may be the result of a romantic relationship or a deep emotional connection.
The opening lines, "Oh my love for the first time in my life, my eyes are wide open," suggest that the singer is seeing the world and their partner in a new light. The use of the word "oh" throughout the song can be interpreted as an exclamation of awe or wonder. The singer then goes on to describe what they see and feel, such as the wind, the trees, the clouds, and the sky. They express that everything is clear in their heart and in their world. The repetition of the phrase "everything is clear" suggests a sense of clarity and understanding that was previously absent.
The second half of the song continues this theme of clarity and newfound awareness, this time focusing on the singer's mind and emotions. They describe feeling sorrow and dreams, but also life and love. The repeated use of the phrase "Oh, I feel" suggests that the singer is experiencing a wide range of emotions all at once, perhaps as a result of this newfound clarity and understanding.
