IMAGINATION
Labrinth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imagination
Only in my imagination
Imagination
Imagination
Only in my imagination
As the sun's lopsided and the birds fly sideways
And I draw up Picasso's and I spray paint Banksy's
And we live on L-O-V-E like it was our salaries
And we plant these seeds that we call ideas
And they grow like trees, bearing fruits on twigs
And we just don't leave 'cause we like it here
Making Shangri-La inside of our heads
Imagination
Imagination
I'll live in this imagination
Now
The lyrics of Labrinth's song "Imagination" describe the power of one's own imagination and how it can lead to the creation of a whole new world that is different from reality. This imaginary world is portrayed as a place where everything is perfect, where the sun is lopsided, birds fly sideways and the sky can be shaken with a smile. The lyrics also talk about creating art like Picasso and Banksy and living on the love that we share with others. The seeds that we plant in our imagination grow into ideas that ultimately bear fruits on twigs, forming a "Shangri-La" within our heads.
The song suggests that imagination is not just a place to escape from reality but also a place to create a perfect world that we desire. The focus of the song is not to reject reality, but to make it a better place using imagination. The song is reflective of how imagination can be a powerful tool for positive change in our lives. The emotions that the song invokes are yearning and hopefulness for a better world, full of love and ideas.

This has been a prolific year for Labrinth. I wish I could see all the things he has experienced which led him to write this song and so many others -- but I'll just use my imagination.
