Quote by John Lennon

I was the walrus, but now I am John...and so my friends, you

Summary

This quote appears to be referencing the transformation of the speaker's identity. They were once the "walrus," likely representing a carefree and eccentric nature. However, they now identify themselves as "John," possibly implying a more serious and grounded persona. The phrase "the dream is over" suggests a realization or acceptance that the previous chapter of their life has concluded. Ultimately, the message is that the speaker's friends must continue on without the walrus persona as it no longer aligns with their current self.
