Strawberry Fields Forever
The Beatles攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you know you can't tune it
But it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always know sometimes it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes"
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the Beatles, released in 1967. The lyrics depict the imaginary Strawberry Fields, a Salvation Army orphanage in Liverpool, which was close to John Lennon's childhood home. John Lennon was deeply inspired by his memories of playing in the garden of the orphanage. In this song, Lennon invites the listeners to join him on a journey to Strawberry Fields, which is his "happy place", where he is free to be himself without the judgment of the world.
The song's message is about finding joy and peace in one's own mind, as the world can often be overwhelming and full of misunderstanding. Lennon views this imaginary world as an escape, where nothing is real and nothing can interfere with his peace of mind. The lyrics evoke a sense of childlike wonder and escapism, as Lennon wants to take the listeners to a magical place where they can forget about their troubles.

Let me take you down
Come along with me
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
To a place of imagination and wonder
Nothing is real
Everything is a product of my own mind
And nothing to get hung about
No need to worry
Strawberry Fields forever
This place exists in my mind forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
I can ignore reality and live in my own dream world
Misunderstanding all you see
Perceiving things differently than others
It's getting hard to be someone
Feeling pressure to conform to society's expectations
But it all works out
Finding one's own way in life can lead to happiness
It doesn't matter much to me
I'm content with my own life
No one I think is in my tree
Feeling isolated and alone in one's thoughts
I mean it must be high or low
The nature of my thoughts is indescribable
That is you know you can't tune it
My thoughts cannot be controlled or altered
But it's all right
Accepting the uncontrollable nature of one's own thoughts
That is I think it's not too bad
My unique perspective is not a negative thing
Always know sometimes it's me
Realizing that my own thoughts and perceptions may not be accurate
But you know I know when it's a dream
Recognizing the difference between reality and imagination
I think I know I mean a "Yes"
Being confident in my beliefs and decisions
But it's all wrong
Sometimes my confidence leads me astray
That is I think I disagree
Realizing that my perspective may differ from others
Strawberry Fields forever
Embracing the beauty and wonder of one's own mind
Strawberry Fields forever
This place exists in my mind forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Embracing the beauty and wonder of one's own mind
