IMAGINATION
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do

Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it`s only your imagination again
Oh well

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly




For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can`t imagine that you want me too

Overall Meaning

In Harry's song "Imagination," he discusses the power of imagination and how it can make even the gloomiest of days seem sunny. He compares imagination to the way a bee thinks of honey – it's just something that comes naturally. However, imagination can also make things seem crazy and disorienting. Harry sings, "Your whole perspective gets hazy," and he even jokes about how it can make you start asking daisies for advice.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful as Harry belies the way imagination can play tricks on our minds. He sings, "Have you ever felt a gentle touch and then a kiss, then and then/You find it's only your imagination again/Oh well." These lyrics suggest that while imagination can bring us joy and comfort, it can also lead to disappointment when reality doesn't live up to our wildest dreams.


Harry concludes the song by acknowledging the silliness of his own imagination. He admits that he goes "around willy-nilly" wanting the person he's singing to, but he can't imagine that they would ever want him back. Through this song, Harry reminds listeners that while imagination can be a powerful force, it's important to keep a firm grasp on reality and recognize when our imaginations may be leading us astray.
