Across The Universe
RRSO Symphony Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light, which
Dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
The lyrics to "Across The Universe" by RRSO Symphony Orchestra evoke an otherworldly, dream-like state where words and images flow freely across the universe. The song opens with the line "Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup," a metaphor for the uncontainable nature of language and its ability to slip away into abstraction. The words "slither wildly" and "slip away" connote a sense of movement, as if the singer is being carried away by the flood of language.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Nothing's gonna change my world" four times, creating a mantra-like effect. The phrase suggests a sense of acceptance or resignation, as if the singer has come to terms with the unpredictable nature of the universe. The chorus is punctuated with the phrase "Jai Guru Deva Om," a Sanskrit phrase that means "Hail to the divine teacher within."
The second verse describes "Images of broken light" that "dance before me like a million eyes." The sense of movement and unrestrained imagery continues, as "thoughts meander" like a "restless wind" and "tumble blindly" across the universe. The final verse describes "limitless undying love" that "shines around me like a million suns," suggesting a sense of transcendence beyond the physical world.
Overall, "Across The Universe" is a meditation on the power of language and imagery to transport us to another dimension, where we are freed from the limitations of our physical bodies and the constraints of the material world.
