Mind Games
Plastic U.F.Ono Band/John Lennon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it, you gotta let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender
You got to let it, you gotta let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
The lyrics of "Mind Games" by John Lennon with the Plastic U.F.Ono Band are focused on the use and power of the human mind. Lennon is inviting listeners to join in on a shared experience of playing "mind games," which involves pushing the barriers and planting seeds for the future, while also embracing the power of love and peace as an essential element to these games. The song suggests a call to action, as well as a reflection upon the potential for human connectedness and the projection of the human experience across space and time.
The lyrics are phrased in a tone of camaraderie, as Lennon describes a group of "druid dudes" lifting the veil and engaging in the "mind guerrilla" - a collective effort to project a shared vision and energy into the universe. The song suggests that there is an absolute elsewhere in the mind, beyond the physical and tangible world, where the mind games can be played and their effects can be felt. The lyrics also suggest that the power of love is key to these mind games, and that if individuals are to surrender to the notion of love and peace, the world would follow suit.

Since argon is a component of air, actually 20 times more abundant than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, every atom of argon that we inhale are then exhaled essentially unchanged and goes back into circulation.
In every breath we take, we inhale and exhale 10¹⁸ atoms of argon.
These atoms, remain in the atmosphere essentially unchanged, to be inhaled again and again throughout time.
It is certain, therefore, that in every breath you take, you have inhaled at least several atoms of argon that have also been inhaled by Einstein, and Newton before him, Mohammad, Christ, and John Lennon etc.
So even in his absence from your proximity , you may well have breathed in some Argon which was once in John Lennon's lungs
We are all connected this way❤

All the games are from her
We kept it real and have no ill will towards anyone unless they come at me with their fake shit.
We found the grail, that elusive happiness and contentment through sobriety and decency
But we will become a rabid dog if provoked
Only fair I think
TreT others how you wish to be treated
Then you have a very small fraction of the population that only wish to start trouble or stir up shit
To those it will come back to you
Wait and see.
Ya!

Life is very strange. I m here in 2021, with 24 years old, loving a song from 73, of a man who has already passed away. Mom was only 5 when it was dropped... His songs travel through the ages.
