Tomorrow Never Knows
Violeta de Outono Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn off your mind, relax
And float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
Color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
Existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning




Of the beginning
Of the beginning

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Violeta de Outono's song "Tomorrow Never Knows" are both poetic and enigmatic, offering a message of deep reflection and introspection, rooted in the psychedelic rock ethos of the late 60s. The song is telling the listener to turn off their mind and to let go of all thoughts to fully experience the journey, using water as a metaphor for the journey of life. The song is encouraging the listener to let go of all their fears and doubts and embrace the void that is life, and to allow themselves to be engulfed completely by it. It urges them to surrender to the unknown and to see the meaning within themselves.


The lyrics suggest that love is the ultimate answer to all of life's questions and that understanding and compassion for all will bring true harmony to the world. The song also recognizes the dangers of ignorance and hate and the sorrow that they bring, yet encourages the listener to believe in the power of love and to have faith in the journey regardless of what they may face. Lastly, the song ends with the phrase "of the beginning" repeated multiple times, signifying that the path of life is endless and ever-changing and that existence itself is just the beginning.
