Lyric discussion by JT1968 

Cover art for The Wind Cries Mary lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

A great example of a song that puts forth a series of impressionistic images in a psychedelic mode. The images aren't necessarliy meant to tell a specific story, but only to reflect a series of reflections on life. All of them are suggestive of melancholy and loss. All things must pass, and all of them fade away to nothingness, leaving only memories and images of what is no more.
