Do lyrics sound like person with sz?
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill sees the Sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round
Well on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
He never listens to them
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him
The fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round
Oh, 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and-
Oh, 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
a little bit but key thing to remember is john lennon said his lyrics are nonsense/ meaningless
I don’t think its really about SZ. Its about loners.

Thing is Mccartney wrote this song.
And I don’t think Lennon’s comment should be taken too seriously. Sure there are some songs that don’t have a lot of meaning to them. I’m pretty sure “I am the Walrus” was written directly to spite academics analysing their songs for meaning. But most of their songs are about something.

maybe it refers to something but how could it have any meaning at all?
It’s this moment…
I mean, I could see how it applies for sure.
To me, I always thought the song was about people who don’t conform to society— outsiders, so to speak.
The way they can observe the everyday and kind of rise above and embrace the absurdity of it all without it disrupting their inner peace.

I don’t think he’s schizophrenic. Just an introvert. My opinion.

Sounds like it @anon83704208 but I tend to agree with @Schztuna’s interpretation of the song.

The Fool on the Hill" by the Beatles is a song about a misunderstood but wise person who sits alone on a hill. The song’s meaning can be interpreted as a suggestion that people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance, and that even those who seem foolish may actually be wise.

See, I dont get that from the song at all that he’s actually wise.

It’s about the Maharishi Yogi a guru from India. I never heard anyone say he was schizophrenic though. The song was written because the Beatles all went to India around 1967 to study Transcendental Meditation with the Maharishi. They took along a few other people with them including Mia Farrow, the actress and her sister, Prudence, whom the song Dear Prudence was written about.
The Beatles thought the Maharishi was this great spiritual leader who forsook bodily pleasure in exchange for spiritual enlightenment. It turns out that the Yogi was hitting on Mia Farrow and her sister. The Fool on the Hill reflects the Beatles disillusionment with the Maharishi and his teachings. I never heard the Maharishi Yogi was schizophrenic, I seriously doubt he was.

I always heard “dear prudence” was about mia farrow not some sister…prudence was made up.
Fool probably just means like many of these proclaimed gurus, he wasn’t as enlightened and spiritual as he professed to be.
The guy was making sexual advances on Mia Farrow.
Like @77nick77 said, the Beatles were disillusioned with him

Sexy Sadie was also about the Maharishi. Apparently it was literally sung as “Maharishi - what have you done” until they were recording it because George Martin said it was too direct and would be considered a political statement. The syllable count is the same.
