hellopeople 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I think it is an analogy for the blind state of mass society. Yellow is the colour of the coward. Living in a yellow submarine means obliviousness to the soulless nature of 9 to 5 life and obliviousness to the real nature of existance which sure isn't making money and working for the man. The song maybe says that people live in a cocoon which they are perfectly happy with. What do you reckon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I think a yellow submarine is much cooler than a boring old black submarine. Welcome to Songfactsland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I think it's just a silly song that let Ringo stretch his vocal chords a bit. Not that silly means bad, but I doubt it has any deep meaning. Interesting theory though. Welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lexxi Marie 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 Interesting theory and could very well be. Sometimes though I think people think too much about things and start coming up with theories like this just to make it interesting...But yknow, House does the same thing and he's always right so who am I to talk? haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin 3 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Now , just where in the hell have YOU been , missy ?!?! } AWOL ! Nifty theory !

Rayzor 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 I think it's a kids song about tub-toys, much like a few others here, but with a twist: It's a "toasted kid" song! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edna 6 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 I always thought it´s a silly song written by Paul McCartney, very much in his "All together now" or "Obladi-oblada" style... I don´t think it has any meaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edna 6 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though its breaking When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow Youll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near Thats the time you must keep on trying Smile, whats the use of crying? Youll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 3 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 Sadlady - it's pretty simple . If you're Mid-Western ( Indianna, is it ) , then you already know how to behave yourself . If you're from the East or Califor-nai-eh - then you're under natural scrutiny , which goes without sayin' ! Those are general rules , mind you ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
