- Imagine A Man LyricsImagine a man, not a child of any revolt
But a plain man tied up in life
Imagine the sand running out as he struts
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife
Imagine a road, so long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began
Imagine a load, so large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant
And you will see the end
You will see the end
Imagine events that occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit
Imagine a fence around you as high as prevention
Casting shadows, you can't see your feet
Imagine a girl, you long for and have
And the body of chalky perfection and truth
Imagine a past, that you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villains and fools
And you will see the end
You will see the end
And you will see the end
You will see the end, oh yeah
Imagine a man, not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new
Imagine a soul so old, it is broken
And you will know your invention is you
And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end, oh yeah
But a plain man tied up in life
Imagine the sand running out as he struts
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife
Imagine a road, so long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began
Imagine a load, so large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant
And you will see the end
You will see the end
Imagine events that occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit
Imagine a fence around you as high as prevention
Casting shadows, you can't see your feet
And the body of chalky perfection and truth
Imagine a past, that you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villains and fools
And you will see the end
You will see the end
And you will see the end
You will see the end, oh yeah
Imagine a man, not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new
Imagine a soul so old, it is broken
And you will know your invention is you
And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end, oh yeah

When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the track 'Imagine a Man' from The Who presents a very lively scene of a man who is totally immersed in the complex world of life and completely overpowered by the weights and problems that he has to deal with. The song uses different metaphors such as sand slipping through one's fingers and an unending road to communicate the feeling of being trapped in the struggles and sorrows that beset him. In general, the lyrics of Imagine a man portray a thoughtful approach, social criticism, and at the same time, there are the feelings of the musician—their yearning and hopelessness mixed with the sigh of relief.
