Eleanor Rigby
Eleanor Rigby's Lonely Echo: Unveiling the Poignant Tale
Lyrics
Ah look at all the lonely people
Observation of lonely individuals
Ah look at all the lonely people
Reiteration of the observation of lonely individuals
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
Depiction of Eleanor Rigby picking up rice after a wedding in the church
In the church where a wedding has been
Highlighting the setting of the church after a wedding
Lives in a dream
Description of Eleanor Rigby living in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
Describing Eleanor waiting at the window with a concealed emotion
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Reference to the face she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
Questioning the purpose of her actions
All the lonely people
Rhetorical question about all the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
Seeking the origin of lonely individuals
All the lonely people
Repetition of the question about lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Questioning where lonely people belong
Father McKenzie, writing the words
Introduction of Father McKenzie writing unheard sermon words
Of a sermon that no one will hear
Emphasizing the lack of audience for Father McKenzie's sermon
No one comes near
Describing the isolation of Father McKenzie
Look at him working, darning his socks
Depiction of Father McKenzie mending his socks in solitude
In the night when there's nobody there
Highlighting the loneliness during the night
What does he care
Indicating Father McKenzie's indifference
All the lonely people
Rhetorical question about the origin of lonely people
Where do they all come from?
Reiteration of the query about the origin of loneliness
All the lonely people
Repetition of the question about where lonely people belong
Where do they all belong?
Exploring the theme of belonging for lonely individuals
Ah look at all the lonely people
Reiteration of the observation of lonely individuals
Ah look at all the lonely people
-Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
Narration of Eleanor Rigby's death in the church
And was buried along with her name
Mention of Eleanor Rigby's burial with her name
Nobody came
Highlighting the absence of attendees at Eleanor Rigby's funeral
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
Depiction of Father McKenzie cleaning his hands after the burial
From his hands as he walks from the grave
Describing Father McKenzie's solitude as he walks away from the grave
No one was saved
Emphasizing the lack of salvation for anyone
All the lonely people
Rhetorical question about the origin of lonely people
Where do they all come from?
Reiteration of the query about the origin of loneliness
All the lonely people
Repetition of the question about where lonely people belong
Where do they all belong?
Exploring the theme of belonging for lonely individuals
