I Am The Walrus
Mystical Unity in the Walrus' Tale
Lyrics
I am he as you are he as you are me
I identify with you, and you with me; we share a mutual existence
And we are all together
We are all part of a collective whole
See how they run like pigs from a gun
Observing people fleeing in panic, akin to pigs startled by gunfire
See how they fly
Witnessing their erratic movements, possibly indicating confusion or chaos
I'm crying
Expressing sadness or emotional distress
I'm crying, I'm crying
Reiterating the emotional state of crying
Sitting on a corn flake
Engaging in a mundane activity, waiting for something unexciting to happen
Waiting for the van to come
Specifically waiting for a van, possibly symbolizing a routine or unremarkable event
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Commenting on the monotony of a corporate lifestyle, referencing a disappointing Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
Addressing someone as a disobedient person
You let your face grow long
Criticizing the person for appearing sad or disheartened
I am the egg man
Identifying oneself metaphorically as the "egg man"
They are the egg men
Referring to others as "egg men," suggesting a shared identity
I am the walrus
Declaring oneself as the "walrus," possibly symbolizing a complex or multifaceted identity
Goo goo g'joob
Uttering nonsensical sounds, adding a surreal or abstract element
Yellow matter custard
Describing a strange substance, adding to the surreal imagery
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Depicting a bizarre scene with vivid, unsettling details
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Introducing unconventional characters, contributing to the surreal atmosphere
Boy, you've been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
Criticizing someone for perceived misbehavior, emphasizing societal expectations
I am the egg man
Repeating the metaphorical identification as the "egg man"
They are the egg men
Reiterating the shared identity of others as "egg men"
I am the walrus
Reaffirming oneself as the complex "walrus"
Goo goo g'joob
Continuing the use of nonsensical sounds for artistic and abstract effect
Sitting in an English garden
Engaging in a tranquil setting, waiting for a positive event
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun, symbolizing hope or positivity
If the sun don't come you get a tan
Highlighting the consequences of a lack of positivity, such as a tan from rain exposure
From standing in the English rain
Emphasizing the English rain as a potential obstacle to a positive outcome
I am the egg man
Repeating the metaphorical identification as the "egg man"
They are the egg men
Reiterating the shared identity of others as "egg men"
I am the walrus
Reaffirming oneself as the complex "walrus"
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob (oh)
Continuing the use of nonsensical sounds for artistic and abstract effect
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob
Further repetition of abstract sounds, contributing to the overall surreal atmosphere
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob
Continuing the repetition of abstract sounds for artistic expression
