"Across the Universe" is a song by The Beatles, covered by Fiona Apple.
It explores the transcendental and spiritual experiences that come from the powerful nature of words, sounds, and images that come across the singer's mind. The lyrics suggest that the universe is full of joy and sorrow that both possess and caress the speaker's mind, allowing thoughts to meander like a restless wind.
The repeated line "Jai guru deva om" is a Hindu mantra that represents invoking the divine power and the infinite wisdom that resides within oneself. The chorus "Nothing's gonna change my world" could mean that the speaker is at peace because they realize that everything in the universe is a part of themself and there is a constant, unchanging essence to the world that surrounds them.
The speaker also experiences a powerful sense of love that is limitless and undying, shining like a million suns. This could represent a spiritual connection with the universe or higher power. Overall, the song suggests that by turning inward and embracing the vastness of the universe, one can find tranquility and a sense of oneness with everything.
