See Emily Play
The Pink Floyd Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Soon after dark Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow, hardly a sound till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Put on a gown that touches the ground
Float on a river forever and ever
Emily, Emily
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play
The lyrics to The Pink Floyd Sound's "See Emily Play" represent the psychedelic imagery of the 1960s and have been interpreted to relate to altered states caused by substances like LSD. The lyrics are metaphorical, depicting Emily's struggles to understand the world around her and disconnect from the reality of her everyday life. By borrowing someone else's dreams, Emily tries to escape her own problems and immerse herself in a blissful utopia. The line "There is no other day/Let's try it another way" suggests that Emily seeks to escape the mundanity of her existence by exploring alternate realities.
As the song progresses, Emily's journey becomes more intense. She cries in sorrow in the dark and longs for something more meaningful. The line "Put on a gown that touches the ground/Float on a river forever and ever" is particularly poetic and represents a yearning for transcendence. Emily seeks to connect with something more profound, something that goes beyond the material world. By the end of the song, Emily has found solace in playing free games that allow her to lose her mind and escape reality.
Overall, "See Emily Play" is an evocative song that captures the spirit of the 1960s. The lyrics are full of surreal imagery and metaphor, and the music is characterized by its dreamy quality.
