Because
Martin Luther McCoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because the world is round, ah
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind
Because the wind is high, ah
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue, ah, ah, ah, ah
The lyrics of Martin Luther McCoy's song "Because" delve into the beauty and wonder of the natural world around us. The opening line, "Because the world is round, it turns me on," is a reference to the scientific fact that the earth is round, and could also allude to the cyclical nature of life and the universe. The line "Because the wind is high, it blows my mind" can be interpreted as the awe-inspiring power of the wind, and how it can have an impact on our emotional state. The phrase "blows my mind" also has a double meaning- it can refer to being overwhelmed with awe or excitement, but also alludes to psychedelic experiences often associated with the 1960s counterculture.
The next line, "Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you," speaks to the universality of love and how it is a human experience that transcends time and space. The final line, "Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry," is a poignant reflection on the beauty of the natural world and how it can evoke deep emotions within us. The color blue is often associated with sadness or melancholy, but also represents the vastness and infinite possibilities of the sky.
