Feet in the Clouds
Feet in the Clouds: Navigating Love's Labyrinth with Paul McCartney
Lyrics
Teacher said I had my head in the clouds
Feeling criticized or misunderstood by a teacher for daydreaming or having impractical thoughts.
They directed, I suspected, disconnected hat in my way
Feeling directed or guided by others, suspecting their intentions, with an obstructive hat causing a disconnect.
On the street I had my feet on the ground
Being grounded and realistic while on the street, accepting corrections and feeling well protected.
Stood corrected, well protected, resurrected had it my way
Being corrected and protected, possibly overcoming challenges and feeling resurrected, having things one's own way.
I've got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground
Expressing a dual state of having dreams (feet in the clouds) and being grounded (head on the ground).
I know that I'm not a square as long as their not around
Asserting individuality by not conforming to societal norms, especially when certain people are absent.
But I find it very very very very very very hard
Expressing difficulty in conforming or fitting in with societal expectations.
Yes I find it very very very very very very hard
Reiterating the challenge of conforming to societal norms.
Love is fab it's like a stab in the heart
Describing love as both fabulous and painful, like a stab in the heart.
My hidden treasure, made to measure, for my pleasure, I had it my way
Describing a personal, hidden treasure of love tailored to one's preferences and pleasure.
I've got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground
Repeating the dual state of having dreams and being grounded.
I know that I'm not a square as long as their not around
Reiterating the assertion of individuality in the absence of certain influences.
But I find it very very very very very very hard
Repeating the expression of difficulty in conforming to societal expectations.
Oh I find it very very very very very very hard
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge of fitting in with societal norms.
Yes I find it very very very very very very hard...
Continuing to express the enduring difficulty of conforming to societal expectations.
I've got my feet in the clouds, got my head on the ground
Reiterating the dual state of having dreams and being grounded.
I know that I'm not a square as long as their not around
Reiterating the assertion of individuality in the absence of certain influences.
But I find it so hard I find it so hard
Expressing the profound and persistent difficulty of conforming to societal expectations.
