I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there Ooh, then I suddenly see you, Ooh, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life You didn't run, you didn't lie You knew I wanted just to hold you Had you gone, you knew in time, we'd meet again For I had told you Ooh, you were meant to be near me Ooh, and I want you hear me Say we'll be together every day Got to get you into my life What can I do, what can I be, When I'm with you I want to stay there If I'm true I'll never leave And if I do I know the way there Ooh, then I suddenly see you, Ooh, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life Got to get you into my life Got to get you into my life I was alone, I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there Then suddenly I see you, Did I tell you I need you Every single day...

Review about Got To Get You Into My Life Drug *experiencing*, not just drugs | Reviewer: Cyberdisciple | 10/8/09 Paul McCartney said the song Got To Get You Into My Life from the album Revolver (1966) is about marijuana, but that's kind of misleading. It's not just or only about the drug marijuana, it's more directly and primarily about drug experiencing. For the Beatles in the mid-60s, this should primarily be thought of as LSD (mixed with pot) and LSD experiencing (mixed with pot). The classic LSD (mixed with pot) experience is mystic-state egodeath and union with the higher controller of thoughts. I was alone, I took a ride I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I could find another kind of mind there. [The user is alone, i.e. without the higher controller. He takes a ride, i.e. lsd trip. by altering perceptions and mental processes, lsd promises a new way of viewing the mind. The user is uncertain what exactly that is, but is still led on by the promise of adventure and self-knowledge, knowledge about the mind. To see another kind of mind is to switch from one mode of thinking to another] ooh, then I suddenly see you, ooh, did I tell you I need you, every single day of my life [lsd experiencing visibly and forcefully demonstrates our dependence on a higher source of thoughts. We need this higher controller and source of thoughts everyday of our lives, at every moment in time.] you didn't run, you didn't lie you knew I wanted just to hold you had you gone, you knew in time, we'd meet again For I had told you [playful lyrics depicting the union with the higher controller as a faithful, accepting relationship. The user predicts future unitary experiences with the higher controller] ooh, you were meant to be near me ooh, and I want you to hear me say we'll be together everyday [It's determined or destined that the lower self and the higher controller be together at every moment. This is determinism. Whether the lower self realizes it or not, all it's thoughts and actions are pre-determined and have been timelessly set in place by the higher controller. The lower self wants to prove to the higher controller that the lower self recognizes its dependency and need.] Got to get you into my life [delivered with a passionate shout in the recording. The lower self has got to get the higher controller into its life, has got to change its mental mode in order to incorporate the higher controller] What can I do, what can I be When I'm with you, I want to stay there If I'm true, I'll never leave And if I do, I know the way there [The questions represent the user's questioning of self during the lsd trip, questioning of the accustomed mental mode and way of operating that views the self, the "I", as alone and an independent source of thoughts. The lower self wants to stay in union with the higher controller. If the lower self is true, i.e. has fully grasped transcendent knowledge and incorporated that knowledge into a revised mental model, it will never lose the perceptual memory of union and the model of reflected control power.] Ooh, then I suddenly see you, Ooh, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life Got to get you into my life Got to get you into my life I was alone, I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there Then suddenly I see you, Did I tell you I need you Every single day... ––– The song is simultaneously about a girl, about drugs, and about drug experiencing. It works on all those levels. That's what makes it great art. When did Paul McCartney say that it was really about Marijuana? I recall that it was in the late 90s/early 21st century. He was playing it safe. At that time Marijuana had become more or less culturally acceptable. But did he say it was about LSD, which everyone knows was the preferred drug of the Beatles and the 1960s? No. LSD is something too radical, too dangerous to associate with himself. Saying the song was about Marijuana was slightly edgy, but still safe. He should have at least said it was about LSD or about LSD+Marijuana, if he didn't want to ruin the game of figuring out the puzzle. If he were really being honest, he would say something like the song is about LSD+Marijuana together and the dissociative experiences of egodeath and union with the transcendent controller of thoughts.

Paul was on a serious roll at this point. He really took over on this album and Sgt. Pepper. John always had some great songs as well, but Paul was very involved in the arrangement ideas for his songs also. Geoff Emerick and George Martin were also instrumental in bringing the songs to life. strangely true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/1/09 As retarded as our friend Dave may sound, this isn't the first time I've come across the 'taco theory' behind this song. There's a definite possibility Paul wrote this as an ode to his favorite food, the taco. it's all about da tacos | Reviewer: dangerous dave | 1/31/09 if you really want to know what this song iz about i can tell you. Here me now! everyone knows the beatles was big time ganja users so in a sense, all da songs are about drugs. this song is different tho. Paul is clearly singing about gettin well high and then cravin some mad eats. He "took a ride" to find some tacos because he was also known as the "taco-eating" one (side note, ringo loves hez cababs) so there you have it, this song is really about tacos. respec! he he he he he yahoo | Reviewer: andrea | 9/29/08 i ove this song me and my sister would sing it in the bathroom when we heard it on the radio in the shower and my mum would be screaming at us to turn it down man i love this song its my favourite beatles song. Mary jane | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/2/07 Sorry to tell you it aint a love song it actually a song about Paul discovering Marijuana. I know it sounds better as a love song, but i suppose Paul must have just loved his smoke. Heh heh Paulie.. | Reviewer: Pru | 7/2/07 This is so freaking cute. Love the Motown-sound. And you'd think it's just one of Paul's sweet lil love songs; turns out it's an Ode to Pot. Heh. For I adoooooore yooooouuuuu.... Lovely. YEA!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/11/07 I love this song! its not about love its about Paul loving marijuana!!! that's awesome because not all drugs are depressing and invovle escape....some are just great life pot. man i'm grinning ear to ear hehe!!!
