My high school math teacher once offered a bonus question for extra credit on a test. It was "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. Explain." I think I was the only one who bothered to answer it. I just wrote "I Am the Walrus." That 1967 song from the Beatles was hard to memorize because the lyrics didn't make any sense, and most of us chalked it up to the band's drug use. Did John Lennon really write the lyrics to deliberately be nonsensical, or was there a hidden meaning underneath? Noah Lefevre of Polyphonic takes a deep dive into how the song was constructed, which has more to do with a potpourri of rhymes designed to illustrate the melody than any one idea or theme. However, there were ideas behind some of the lyrics. The video is only eight minutes long, the rest is promotional -via Laughing Squid
