If you like it then it must mean something to you in someway at some level. Finding meaning in things can occur consciously as well as unconsciously. Feelings is one way we hear our unconscious. Consequently, an emotional reaction, such as like, denotes meaning. Note, however, that the artist's intentions and your interpretation are two different universes. The lyrics are completely wrong. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/15/09 Almost every line is wrong. Also, there is no meaning to the song; the writer of it made it because he heard that one of his old teachers was getting the students to find the meaning of Beatles songs; he wrote it to mess with their heads. The fuck... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/10/09 I love how everyone is bitching about the meaning to a song that wasn't even meant to have a meaning, and completely overlooking the fact these lyrics are fucked up beyond belief. Someone clean this shit up. . | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/09 i'm pretty sure the reason Lennon wrote this song is because he was so sick of people annalysing his music to death and trying to work out 'what it all means'... just like what's happening now. so it probably doesnt mean ANYTHING you think it means, if it means anything at all. sorry. WRONG WRONG WRONG | Reviewer: Emily | 9/1/09 The words are all wrong.Sitting on a bench, waiting for the bus to come.WRONG. It's "sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come." I am eatting eggs, they are eatting eggs, I'm John Lennon, Goo goo ga joob.WRONG It's "I am the eggman woo! I am the eggman woo! I am the walrus" more mistakes! Get it right next time. If you dont get it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/2/09 You have only 5 senses..... There are more to words, and symbolism than definitions. Music is the universal language, some speak it, some refuse to, listen, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME.. But we changed all the names, to protect the in no sense.... WALRUS | Reviewer: RoyB | 8/25/09 I am from the 60's generation and I remember John said not long after it was released that it was a nonsense song - just random thoughts. However, random thoughts can still have a meaning, like interpreting our dreams. David Bowie used a similar method, except he used to write short lyric pieces down on pieces of paper, then randomly pick them up and add them to music. This could also be called nonsense, or is it really ???? Either way, I love the song, and I think we each put our own interpretation to it, thus making it even more great! Origin | Reviewer: Trevor Smith | 8/15/09 I read in a trivia book (Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series, if you care to know) that this song was a combination of three incomplete beatles lyrics. Lennon put I am the Walrus together because he found out his old third grade teacher was having his students interpret Beatles tunes, so he decided to mess with his old teacher's head. This song isn't about anything but senselessness. There is no hidden meaning, no symbolism to speak of. Lennon was trying to be incoherent. Oh. MY. GOODNESS! | Reviewer: Rubber Soul | 8/15/09 What the heck do you guys think you are doing? Butchering a song like that? Trying to find out what it really means? Well just let it be and listen to the song and enjoy it! If you think its nonsense then by all means. And if you think he was dropping acid when he wrote it, who cares? Its an amazing song that i love. Interpretation? | Reviewer: Vince | 8/13/09 No idea what it is about, most likely it is not about anything. But I'm pretty sure DannyJoe is right about the fact it was inspired by Alice, John was a big fan of the nonsense in that book (or in general in English literature).
