Tomorrow Never Knows
The Bastard Sons Of Dioniso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning




Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Bastard Sons of Dioniso represent a psychedelic experience. The song starts with an invitation to the listeners to "Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream." The lyrics suggest that by letting go of one's conscious thoughts, one can experience a higher form of consciousness. The repetition of the phrase "it is not dying" reinforces the idea that this state of mind is not dangerous and can be safely experienced.


The verse "Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void, it is shining" takes the listener deeper into the experience of letting go of one's thoughts. The phrase "surrender to the void" may seem scary at first, but the repetition of the phrase "it is shining" suggests that by letting go, one opens themselves up to a beautiful and illuminating experience.


The last verse of the song, "So play the game 'Existence' to the end, of the beginning" suggests that life is a game, and one should play it until the end. It's ambiguous whether the game refers to life itself or to the psychedelic experience, but either way, it's a call to make the most of the time one has.
