The purpose of the song is that there is no meaning, and to perplex those who insist on interpreting it. My Interpretation | Reviewer: hippychik | 1/28/09 FIRST VERSE- "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." - would this not go to show that no matter what differences people think they have from race to race, that they are actually all the part of the "human Race"... hence- "we are all together"? the part "see how they fly" could be metaphorically speaking of seeing people with a neuse around their necks, hanging from trees? At the end of this verse when he says "i'm crying" This probably meaning that these acts make him sad. SECOND VERSE- I think this whole verse refers to the men who wear suit&tie to work. "sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come" to me, interprets, trying to sit in a crowded bus stand (a cornflake is tiny, much like the amount of room they have to sit on) and the "van" would be a bus (metaphorically called van because the busses are crowded, and feel quite a bit smaller than what you would picture, if you had never been on a city bus)-- "Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long." I think this means ... they have let themselves into their unhappy job, and are doing nothing to make themselves happy in life... hence "you've let you face grow long" also used in the common saying "why such a long face?" THIRD VERSE- I'm pretty sure that this might be about protesting. "Mister City P'liceman sitting...Pretty little policemen in a row" would refer to the people that run the city, including the policemen that sit in offices, sending "pretty little policemen" (swat) to the scene of a large protest, where they stand in a row, facing the protestors. "See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run." would then refer to when gunshots are fired, the pretty policemen don't think twice about doing so, hence- "see how they fly like lucy in the sky". Leaving the part part saying "see how they run", would be when the protestors run from the gunshots. FOURTH VERSE- I believe this verse is about dirty whores, women who will open their legs for anyone. "yellow matter custard... dripping from a dead dog's eye"- Picture a grubby, dirty man, with diseases (metaphorically called a dog)- this being said, to show the kind of people whore do end up sleeping with. "crabalocker fishwife" means a sexually dirty wife, who has alot of crabs(crab-a-locker), and smells like fish. "Pornographic Priestess" probably means that even those who are thought to be "pure" are not always that, and they too engage in sexually explicit acts that are done for the wrong reasons, and overall wrong in Gods eyes. "Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down."- pretty self-explanitory! haha ____________________________ Thats all i've got so far! Hope you liked it!! Expert texpert choking smokers, Don't you think the joker laughs at you? | Reviewer: Caity | 1/26/09 The Beatles are my biggest inspiration in life, and their music actually saved my life. Whether they did drugs, whether or not this song has a meaning, none of that matters. Appreciate the music and find your own meaning in it, the same as you finding your own meaning in life. It's all about perceptions. Peace the world john Lenon | Reviewer: Mandon | 1/21/09 I heard that John Lenon had an interveiw with a profeesor, who said that there was a course at his school, whose purpose was to "deciefer" Beatles songs, and he wrote I am the Walrus as an "I'll show you!" song. How about reading things correctly | Reviewer: Julz | 1/18/09 To the person who wrote this quote: "I'm interested in the reviews that say the "lyrics still apply today" and "it's sometimes true"... exactly which bits? is it "Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come" or "Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower" that seem particularly relevant? Come on... find some music that actually has lyrics for fuck's sake!" I suggest you learn to read properly. The quote that you're referring to by Karen, she stated that "Their music and lyrics still apply today". As in, their music as a collective, not just this one song. Learn to read properly. i am the walrus goo goo goo'd joob | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/16/09 look everyone knows the beatles were on drugs, they used marijuana and later on started using LSD, its a well known fact, buy the beatles anthology and the beatles are interviewed talking about their drug usage in the past. I am the walrus is a great song whether it was about a trip or not, there is no point trying to understand its hidden meaning(if it even has one) John Lennon is the only one who knows the truth behind his songs and he has taken them to the grave, just enjoy the songs and don't look into them too much. As to the comment saying something to the effect that only stoners can enjoy the beatles and they were nothing more than just stoners thats bullshit, the beatles all played many instruments, and besides do you know a band who can last 40 odd years without the music getting old, no? didnt think so. What? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/9/09 I'm interested in the reviews that say the "lyrics still apply today" and "it's sometimes true"... exactly which bits? is it "Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come" or "Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower" that seem particularly relevant? Come on... find some music that actually has lyrics for fuck's sake! Hm. | Reviewer: Okay Then | 1/8/09 Okay. I remember John Lennon saying that "Our Music Is Whatever You Want It To Be." It may mean that this song is about protests, as I think it is, or it could be about his acid trips. I, personally, think it's quite funny how Lennon called that teacher and told her "Let the fuckers figure that out". So really. 'Its whatever you want it to be.' Does it matter if they used drugs? | Reviewer: Karen | 1/7/09 For some reason, everyone is hung up on whether they did drugs or not. We know Lennon and McCartney used acid, they've all admitted marijuana use, and the culture then encouraged drug experimentation. Whether the drugs influenced the music, or not, does it make any difference? They're still the best band ever, and were way ahead of their time. Their music and lyrics still apply today. Considering how much the world has changed, that is saying something. Whatever the reason it happened, it's always magic! Corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday | Reviewer: Amber | 1/5/09 I think this song is amazing. who the hell cares what the meaning is behind this song, when it comes down to it, its an amazing song, unlike most of the music today, which is mainly about nothing and sounds horrible.
