Hey Jude
Transforming Pain: Hey Jude's Message of Healing
Lyrics
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Encouragement not to worsen the situation or make it negative
Take a sad song and make it better
Advice to take a melancholic song and improve it
Remember to let her into your heart
Reminder to allow someone into one's emotional core
Then you can start to make it better
Implying that allowing someone in will initiate healing
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
Encouragement not to fear or hesitate
You were made to go out and get her
Assertion of one's ability to pursue and win someone over
The minute you let her under your skin
Once someone is emotionally close, progress begins
Then you begin to make it better
Signifying that progress and healing will commence
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Advice to avoid dwelling on pain and to resist carrying burdens
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Not to shoulder the weight of the world's problems
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
Indicating that pretending indifference affects one's surroundings negatively
By making his world a little colder
Suggesting that being aloof can create a chilly environment
Hey Jude, don't let me down
Expression of reliance not to disappoint or fail someone
You have found her, now go and get her
Encouragement to pursue and win the affection of the person
Remember to let her into your heart
Reiteration of the importance of emotional openness
Then you can start to make it better
Emphasizing that emotional openness initiates improvement
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
Encouragement to express emotions and to begin the process
You're waiting for someone to perform with
Waiting for someone to connect with emotionally
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
Realization that the capability to make changes lies within oneself
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Indicating that the power to change is within reach
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Reiteration not to worsen the situation
Take a sad song and make it better
Advice to improve a sad situation
Remember to let her under your skin
Reminder that emotional closeness initiates progress
Then you'll begin to make it
Signifying that improvement starts with emotional closeness
Better better better better better better, oh
Repeated emphasis on making things better
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude
Melodic interlude to convey emotions rather than words
