We all go through the same feelings in life. "I am he, as you are me.." We're all equal.
We've divided ourselves.
This saddens Lennon.
I think he's just making a joke on society's dull game. "I am the walrus.. koo koo catchu!" We can make our own realities. Yes, pyschadelics opened that up in us. As long as our intentions are good, you won't get hung up. -

Some of it has been said here but...
This is a very good read (-:

I give "I am the walrus" the highest rating for a beatles song there is. It ranks with eleanor rigby, penny lane, strawberry fields forever, hey jude, and in my life as among their very best if not their very best. If one cannot understand the lyrics, one must understand a term called "poetic license"...The song is a series of images and impressions set to the most avant garde music the beatles ever came up with. Lennon's vocal is unbelievably cutting and vicious...Possibly his best ever. Coo coo coo choo!

You are all on drugs if you don't think this song has nothing to do with a drug trip.

Glass Onion and that were written to confuse people further. Although I Am The Walrus was written to confuse their is going to be some hidden stuff in there.
Speaking as a songwriter who tries to write the odd song that's just supposed to confuse people you can't help putting in jokes and things that are relevant in the lyrics. The song as a whole might not mean anything but I'm sure differen't lines mean something in the warped mind of John. -
Well, in Glass Onion it says the walrus was Paul but then in another song by John it says I was the Walrus but now I am Just John.

From Glass Onion:
"I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man
you know that we're as close as can be, man
now here's another clue for you all
.... the walrus is paul" -
Not every song is a secret message to another dimension. Sometimes the words we read are simply that and nothing more.

Just because an artist writes a song on LSD doesn't make it wacked out or nonsensical. Drugs allow musicians to take their music and thoughts in different directions, it doesn't neccesarily turn them into maniacs. Even if the lyrics do sound a bit strange, the beauty always lies within the insanity. Don't ever discredit the later work of Lennon.
