Part of it was putting down Hare Krishna. “The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko. “The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend,” he began. In his infamous 1980 interview with Playboy and Yoko Ono, which was published in 1981, Lennon explained his thought process for the song in more depth. Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
“Let the fuckers work that one out, Pete!” Lennon is cited telling Pete Shotton, an old school friend. So, Lennon decided to pen a song so obscure and so bizarre that the meaning would be impossible to discover. More specifically, Lennon had read a letter from a student from his alma mater, Quarry Bank High School for Boys, that said the literature classes were studying the meaning of The Beatles lyrics. In several interviews after the fact, Lennon explained that “I Am The Walrus” was written in response to learning that fans were analyzing the lyrics of The Beatles’ songs. John Lennon wrote the majority of the song, and it was then officially credited to the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. But it was designed to be so, and craftily at that. Long story short, “I Am The Walrus” is nonsense.
