-------------------------------
“Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” is typically thought to be a song about drugs. Mainly because its lyrical concepts are absolutely wild. The track invites you out onto a river as you pass through tangerine trees and marmalade skies, eventually meeting a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
The imagery of things like “cellophane flowers”, “rocking horse people” and “newspaper taxis” all sound like references to hallucinations one might experience while on LSD. And upon further inspection of the trippy track, you could also speculate that its title is code for LSD. Even the BBC were quick to ban the tune from radio for it’s supposed drug references. But the band called it all just a coincidence, suggesting the real roots of the track are much more innocent than many may have believed. Let’s discover The True Meaning Behind LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS.
