Strawberry Fields Forever
Jim Sturgess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is the catch you know
Tune in but it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Always know sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know, I mean, oh yes, but it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

The phrase "Let me take you down" is an invitation to enter this world and forget about the troubles of everyday life.
The lines "Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about" suggest that Strawberry Fields is a place free from judgment or criticism. The idea that "Living is easy with eyes closed" implies a lack of awareness or responsibility for one's actions. The lyrics also touch on themes of isolation and a feeling of being misunderstood by society. The line "No one I think is in my tree" suggests that the singer feels alone in his or her beliefs or perspectives. Overall, the song is a commentary on the desire to escape reality and find a place of peace and acceptance.

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know, I mean a... yes
But it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
