she's so fine
Jimi Hendrix Experience Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So the hippies think she's in with time
Time...
Her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Branches attack me from her neck
She's so fine
She's so very very fine
The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes
The rain from a tree soaks into her mind
Mind...
Morning sign sounds just like a lock
All these signs are always a stock
She's so fine
She's so very very fine
When I veer I get so near
But so far far far away
Listen to me today
We united just beside a leaf
The ground was hard underneath her her
Ahhhahhh
She's so fine
Ahhhahhh
The lyrics in Jimi Hendrix Experience's song "She's So Fine" seem to describe a woman who is admired by many hippies. The first two lines set the tone for the song, as it describes the woman's unique style. She wears a bell clock around her neck, which is something that would have been popular in the hippie culture. The line "So the hippies think she's in with time" shows that the singer and others around him view her as someone who is fashionable and up-to-date.
The second verse compares her hair to robins on a deck, and how the branches of her neck seem to attack the singer. While these lines may seem odd at first, together they paint a picture of a woman who is striking and has a certain kind of power. The chorus simply states that "she's so fine," emphasizing her beauty and status.
The third verse is more abstract, with phrases like "the sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes" and "the rain from a tree soaks into her mind." These lines may suggest the singer's fascination with her and how she seems to be in tune with nature. The final lines describe a moment of unity between the two of them, as they connect "beside a leaf" and the singer emphasizes once again how "she's so fine."
