Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because the world is round, ah
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high, ah
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
The lyrics of The Beatles (cover)'s song "Because" are a reflection of how different environmental elements have a significant impact on the songwriter. The song draws attention to how the world's natural phenomena can shape and influence human emotions. The opening line "Because the world is round it turns me on" could be interpreted as a reference to the earth's shape that looks beautiful and fascinating, and it arouses a sense of amazement in the songwriter. Similarly, the phrase "Because the wind is high it blows my mind" can be understood to represent the power and unpredictability of the wind, which fills the writer with wonder.
The song goes on to mention that "Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you," which suggests the idea that love transcends time and boundaries, making it a universal concept that trumps all else. The final part of the song reveals that "Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry," possibly hinting at the depressing effect of loneliness that the sight of a clear blue sky may provoke, or it may be another reference to the beauty of the natural world that brings a tear to the songwriter's eye.
