While My Guitar Gently Weeps
The Beatles攀 Lyrics

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
The singer perceives that there is a dormant love within the people around him.

While my guitar gently weeps
Despite his ability to create music, the singer feels sadness and vulnerability.

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
The singer observes the untidiness of his surroundings.

Still my guitar gently weeps.
Even though the artist is aware of the mess around him, he still feels a sense of sadness and vulnerability.

I don't know why nobody told you
The artist is perplexed as to why the subject of the song has not received any guidance.

How to unfold your love
The singer believes that the subject has not been instructed on how to express their love.

I don't know how someone controlled you
The singer is unsure how another person has gained power over the subject's decisions.

They bought and sold you.
Perhaps to the subject's detriment, someone has been able to manipulate them through financial transactions.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
The artist recognizes the constant motion within the world.

With every mistake we must surely be learning
Although mistakes are made, they are necessary for growth and wisdom.

Still my guitar gently weeps.
The singer's sadness and vulnerability persists despite the learning process.

I don't know how you were diverted
The artist is unsure how the subject was led astray from their true path.

You were perverted too
The subject has been corrupted from their original self in some way.

I don't know how you were inverted
The singer questions how the subject ended up in a situation they do not want to be in.

No one alerted you.
The subject was not warned of the dangers or negative consequences they may face.

Look at you all
The artist is once again observing the people around him.

Still my guitar gently weeps.
Although there may be love and beauty present, the artist's personal struggles continue.
