Across The Universe
Scorpions Lyrics

Words are flowing out like Endless rain into a paper cup They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
The lyrics of the song are coming out like never-ending rain into a paper cup, continuously and uncontrollably slipping out of the singer’s grasp, flowing out into the vast universe.

Pools of sorrow waves of joy Are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me.
The singer is experiencing a mix of emotions, with sorrow and joy washing over them, all while their mind is open and susceptible to these feelings.

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
The singer repeats the Hindu phrase ‘Jai Guru Deva Om’ which translates to ‘Hail to the divine guru.’ The phrase is being repeated due to the belief that nothing in this world will change or shake their faith/belief in the divine.

Images of broken light, which Dance before me like a million eyes, They call me on and on across the universe.
The singer sees broken lights that look like a million eyes that are trying to hypnotize or mesmerize them, pulling them into a never-ending journey across the universe.

Thoughts meander like a Restless wind inside a letter box They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
The singer’s thoughts are like a restless wind trapped inside of a letterbox, flowing around aimlessly, blindly tumbling around the universe.

Sounds of laughter, shades of life Are ringing through my opened ears Inciting and inviting me.
The singer is hearing sounds of laughter and shades of life, which touch them deeply, evoking powerful emotions and inciting them to keep going across the universe.

Limitless undying love, which Shines around me like a million suns, It calls me on and on across the universe
The singer feels an endless, immortal love shining down on them like a million suns, which motivates them to keep going further 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 singer ends the song the same way it started, repeating the phrase ‘Jai Guru Deva’ to reinforce their belief that nothing can disrupt their faith and trust in the divine. Even though the world may change, they remain confident in their beliefs and commitments to the divine, and they will not sway from it.
