Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
The Yellow Subs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Beatles
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...
The Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is one of the most iconic and mysterious songs of their discography. The song is filled with surrealistic imagery that creates an otherworldly atmosphere, and it is believed by many that the song was influenced by LSD, although The Beatles always denied it. The lyrics tell a psychedelic story of a person's journey to a mystical land where everything is bright, colorful and transcendent.
The song starts with the listener being asked to picture themselves in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies, a scene that, as stated before, is very surreal and otherworldly. The person then hears someone calling, and they answer slowly, meeting a girl with kaleidoscope eyes, which can represent the hallucinations experienced during an LSD trip. The chorus enters, repeating the refrain "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." Lucy is a nickname for LSD, and the song's title then suddenly takes on a different meaning.
The second verse finds the person being taken by the girl to a bridge by a fountain, where they see rocking horse people eating marshmallow pies. They also see newspaper taxis waiting to take them away, and they climb in the back with their head in the clouds, disappearing from reality. The final verse finds the person on a train in a station, watching plasticine porters with looking glass ties, and suddenly the girl with kaleidoscope eyes is there, by the turnstile. Throughout the song, the listener is taken on a journey through a surreal landscape, and it's hard to determine what is real and what is not.
