Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
miley cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Followed 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)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky) ah
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 (Lucy in the sky)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky) ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy in the sky) ah
The lyrics of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" paint a vivid picture of a psychedelic world in which the singer is seemingly transported through various dreamlike settings. The opening verse describes the scene of the singer floating on a boat down a river, surrounded by surreal tangerine trees and marmalade skies. The second line of the verse ("Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes") is perhaps the most crucial, as it hints at the trippy nature of the song's imagery and introduces the enigmatic character of Lucy.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" several times, which has led to much speculation about the true meaning of the song. Some have suggested that "Lucy" may be a reference to LSD, while others have argued that the song is simply a whimsical tale without any deeper significance. Meanwhile, the lyrics of the second verse take the singer to a bridge by a fountain, where they encounter a group of "rocking horse people" who eat "marshmallow pies." The third verse finds the singer on a train in a station, observing plasticine porters with "looking glass ties."
Overall, the lyrics of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" are highly evocative and open to interpretation. They conjure up a fantastical world of bizarre creatures and surreal landscapes, inviting listeners to get lost in the dreamlike atmosphere.
