Across The Universe Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles
Review The Song (34)Print the Lyrics
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my opened ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Review about Across The Universe

My fav verse | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/20/09

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way..

I love how in this verse the idea of linght and wind is put together so perfectly in the last line "tumble blindly" it's just so perfectly said



our wedding song!!! | Reviewer: Krista* bonbon | 11/1/09

Everytime I hear this song I smile! Reminds me of a very special day on the beach.(Back to the "Anti-bad trip" comment; we had that connection with across the universe too.)What is a better way of discribing that moment after you are first husband and wife as "OM"...I has captured a moment in time for me!



Jai Guru Deva, Om | Reviewer: ElectricDaisies | 8/23/09

Jai Guru Deva means "Victory to God"
and "Om" is a word used when meditation but it emcompasses the spiritual world, its representative of earth, nature, the sun, and being one with the universe.
The song was made to be an ideal "trip" song. Its like, if you do LSD (Acid) you're supposed to become closer to the mysteries of the universe and this song makes that easy it opens up your brain and gets it going to help you think of the possibilities, while keeping you at ease. Its very representative of The Beatles and what they represented. Just think of this as the "Anti Bad Trip".



I love it... | Reviewer: ivan | 8/18/09

I love this song. It relaxes me everytime i listen to it. oh yeah, for those people who doesn't understand the phrase jai guru deva, it means "victory to God divine". "om" is the sound the monks make when they meditate.



Does it matter? | Reviewer: Rubber soul | 8/15/09

Why does it matter what "Jai Guru Deva OM" Means anyways? they are fantastic beautiful lyrics by themselves. Its a mystery to what he REALLY meant by them because maybe he wasnt thinking about GOD while he wrote this song. Who knows? But thats why i like it, its a mystery that cant be solved.



Cover of Across the Universe | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/09

For those of you who like this song, you should listen to Libach's version of it. Liback is a German band that covered every song on the Let It Be album. Most of the songs aren't that great accept Across the Universe and Maggie Mae. ATU is just brilliant!! An all female choir sings it with minimal instramentation.
MM sounds like a German army marching song - also great.



LSD | Reviewer: Benjamin | 2/10/09

i can definitly see the LSD influences here..."open mind" "thoughts meander" "opened ears" "broken light dance before my eyes"

definitly reminds me of my LSD trip when the mind opens and you witness the secrets of the universe but can never translate what you see after the trip becuase it is so powerful. "restless wind in a letterbox" and then your trip closes with fantastic visions of rainbow light...

i love this song



"Jai Guru deva" means | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/24/08

Jai - victory, Guru- the supreme teacher, deva- god
so, it's "Victory to my supreme teacher who's God"

Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, in whose monastery in Rishikesh this song was inspired and composed by the Beatles, always had his spiritual Guru's name in his mind and taught the same to his followers.



slither wildly as | Reviewer: YB | 11/23/08

In the original version, the vocal recording quality wasn't perfect, but it was "slither wildly as" but it sounds and awful lot like "slither while they pass." Then people made cover versions with no ambiguity that definitely said "slither while they pass." Which is fine, I suppose, creative license and all that. Also, I have from somewhere another version on the song wherein John Lennon sings it with George on sitar, and the vocal quality is very clear, and he definitely says "slither wildly as." But if you listen to the original off Let It Be, and you (erroneously) think he says "slither while they pass," it will definitely sound like that, because it's kind of muddled.



Now I understand...! | Reviewer: Chris | 8/16/08

Across the Universe has been one of my favourite Beatles/John Lennon songs since I bought the Let It Be album the day it was released. But I could never get all the lyrics. I finally had the idea to google for them - and found this site. I previously assumed that "Jai Guru Deva Om" was a slurred "Like a new-oo day a". Now I finally understand it's just another nonsense lyric to fill out the tune. All is finally explained.
