Question
is there a consensus to the meaning of the metaphor behind "we all live in a yellow submarine" . (pardon my english, I'm brazilian.)

Answer
Hi Kit, thanks for your question.

Not as far as I know. I've always thought of it as a simple song, nursery rhyme even. I don't think there's really any deep philosophical meaning or anything. That's all there is to it really. I hope I answered your question. Thanks again.

Long live the Beatles,
Matt

P.S. No need to apologize; your English is fine!

Expertise

I have a somewhat elaborate knowledge of the band`s music and history, from their Hamburg beginnings to their demise in 1970, as well as secondary information from the post-Beatle years.

Experience

I can answer most questions about the Beatles themselves and their albums, as well as some information about the post-Beatle years. I do NOT, however, specialize in concert dates or Beatle memoribilia (i.e. special collector's items, etc.).
