Living is Easy with Eyes Closed. Misunderstanding All You See.
Anyone that knows me KNOWS that I love the Beatles long time..well, I love the songs they started creating when they were high out of their damn mind. Case in point: Strawberry Fields Forever, it's hard to explain why I identify with this song at times. I think it mainly has to do with the how "all over" this song is - not to mention the video.
"In its simplest terms, Strawberry Fields is a reference to the small garden John played at when he was a little kid in Liverpool. We know that much for sure. So one could easily see the song as advocating an escape into a childlike existence. (indeed, that's probably not far from the mark) However, the lyrics (to me) imply something a bit darker. If you follow the progression of the verses, each one becomes more and more confused, and each one expresses confusion and a desire to just give up trying to make sense of things and a desire to drop out of the whole mess."
Being confused, not sure why things are muddle and not entirely sure whether you want to be there or not. Yes, that's me to a 'T'; granted, I can't just wallow in this feeling and I'm not but I believe that is why this song lately has struck a chord with me.
