Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn’t matter much to me
Let me take you down, cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you can’t you know tune in but it’s all right
That is I think it’s not too bad
Let me take you down, cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always know, sometimes think it’s me
But you know, I know when it’s a dream
I think a “No,” I mean a “Yes”
But it’s all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Let me take you down, cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Exploring the Dreamscape of ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’
“Strawberry Fields Forever” by The Beatles is a mesmerizing journey into introspection and surrealism, guided by John Lennon’s poetic lyrics. The song blends nostalgic longing with philosophical musings, inviting listeners to a place where reality blurs and imagination reigns. Phrases like “Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about” point to a desire to escape the pressures of daily life and return to a simpler, almost childlike state of mind. The refrain, “Living is easy with eyes closed,” hints at the comfort found in ignorance or detachment, while the shifting perspectives reflect inner conflict and self-discovery. Through ambiguous lines and dreamy imagery, the track captures the essence of Lennon’s search for meaning beyond the tangible world.
