Across The Universe
The Beatle's Lyrics

Words are flowing out
The songwriter is expressing that ideas and thoughts are coming to them naturally.

Like endless rain into a paper cup
These thoughts and ideas are continuous and abundant, like a never-ending downpour filling a small container to the brim.

They slither wildly as
The thoughts and ideas come without order or structure, making them hard to grasp and contain.

They slip away across the universe
The ideas and thoughts are fleeting and intangible, passing through the songwriter's mind and disappearing into the vastness of the universe.

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
The songwriter is feeling a range of emotions which come and go like waves and pools.

Are drifting through my opened mind
The songwriter is letting their emotions and thoughts flow through them, allowing themselves to be vulnerable and exposed.

Possessing and caressing me
The emotions and thoughts are taking hold of the songwriter and comforting them.

Jai Guru Deva, Om
A spiritual declaration of devotion and reverence to a higher power.

Nothing's gonna change my world
Despite the ups and downs of life, the songwriter feels a sense of stability and assurance that their world cannot be disrupted.

Images of broken light
The songwriter is seeing fragmented and distorted images, which are perhaps a reflection of their fractured emotional state.

Which dance before me like a million eyes
These images are constantly present and watching the songwriter, giving them a sense of unease and discomfort.

They call me on and on across the universe
The images continue to haunt and plague the songwriter, persistently pulling them away from the reality of their surroundings.

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
The songwriter's thoughts are wandering aimlessly, uncontained and unrestrained like a strong wind shaking the contents of a mailbox.

They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
The songwriter's thoughts are directionless and haphazard, following no set path as they roam across the vast expanse of the universe.

Sounds of laughter, shades of life
The songwriter hears a range of sounds and experiences the diversity of life, including joyous laughter and the darker shades of existence.

Are ringing through my opened ears
The songwriter is receptive to these sounds and experiences, which are filling them up and enriching their life.

Inciting and inviting me
The experiences and sounds are provoking and attracting the songwriter, encouraging them to explore and discover more.

Limitless, undying love
The songwriter is describing a feeling of love which is infinite and never-ending, boundless and all-encompassing.

Which shines around me like a million suns
This love is radiant and intense, illuminating the songwriter's surroundings and filling them with warmth and light.

It calls me on and on across the universe
The songwriter feels compelled to follow this love, letting it guide them on their cosmic journey through life.

Jai Guru Deva
This phrase is repeated again as a reminder of the songwriter's devotion and connection to a higher power.

Jai Guru Deva
