Meaning of the song Across The Universe by The Beatles
Few songs from The Beatles' vast discography so perfectly express existential reflection and cosmic amazement as "Across the Universe." This ethereal song, which was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney with major contributions, was released in 1969. It is still regarded as a timeless masterpiece that has an enduring appeal to listeners all over the world. Beneath its eerie music and lyrical words is a profound investigation of spirituality, the interconnection of all things, and the human experience.
John Lennon wrote this song because he was angry and couldn't sleep after a fight with his wife Cynthia.
"Across The Universe" has its roots in a transcendental meditation retreat that John Lennon went to in India. Inspired by the profound insights he experienced during his meditation excursions, Lennon drew inspiration from the spiritual teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The song "Across the Universe" showcases the impact of John Lennon's spiritual quest, wherein he wrestled with ideas of inner tranquilly, harmony within the universe, and the interdependence of all living things.
Lyrics of the song Across The Universe by The Beatles
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva...
