Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
The song "See Emily Play" is a psychedelic tune written by Syd Barrett, the founding member of Pink Floyd. The song follows the story of Emily, who tries but misunderstands the world around her. She often borrows somebody's dreams and doesn't quite fit in with the rest of society. The line "let's try it another way" implies that Emily is regularly trying to find her place in the world and experimenting with different behaviors and modes of living. As a result, she loses her mind and plays free games for May, living life to the fullest with no restraints.
