Everyone says it's about his sons drawing or LSD. I think it's both actually. I guess the 2 ideas conveniently blended together. Oh well the songs pretty good.
If John openly admitted that "Day Tripper" was a drug song, why would he lie about this one? This song nor it's title has nothing directly to do with LSD. I does seem to be very "Alice in Wonderland-ish" which I've been told was written under the influence of acid. Perhaps this was written under the influence as well, but it's not about it per se.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds actually wasn't meant to say LSD. It was a drawing that John's son brought home from school. Lucy was a kid in his school.
For you're information, this was the front that The Beatles had invented as a sort of facetious "joke" that would also help them duck the heat and keep Haters from thinking that they were making songs about drugs. I mean honestly, that story doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense when you think about how involved they were with drugs and the fact that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds makes LSD in it's initials.
"Got To Get You Into My Life, yeah that one is about pot but nobody picked that up the time. Day Tripper,’ that’s one about acid (LSD). 'Lucy in the Sky,’ that’s pretty obvious. There’s others that make subtle hints about drugs, but, you know, it’s easy to overestimate the influence of drugs on the Beatles’ music.”
John Lennon's son made a picture of a girl he liked in the sky. The stars looked like diamonds to him so he wrote "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds". The song may be about LSD, but the title has nothing to do with it...

Years ago as a teen I bought and kistened to Sgt. Pepper (1968) and EVERYONE I knew correctly believed that this song was about LSD. And just because John Lennon said it wasn't doesn't make it so. Lennon was an unprincipled liar to the day he was snuffed out!
Though it really has nothing to do with LSD... This song + LSD = Pure awesome. :l

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
But most people assume it's meant to be the drug Lysergic acid diethylamide.
which isn't true, since Johns son Julian named the picture he painted so.
