Paul is Dead Clues

Front Cover Clues

• The bloody meat and assorted baby doll parts represent the horrible nature of the car accident.
• Notice the set of teeth of Paul's right arm. They signify that Paul's teeth were knocked out in the car crash. This rendered dental records unavailable as a means for identifying the body.
• George is holding the head of a baby doll next to Paul's head, to signify that Paul was decapitated in the accident.

Lyrics Clues

'YESTERDAY'

"I believe in yesterday, suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, there's a shadow hanging over me. Yesterday came suddenly..."
Paul is no longer himself. Or He's not who we think he is.

'DR. ROBERT'

"He does everything he can, Dr. Robert."
Dr. Robert did everything he could to save Paul's life after the accident.

'NOWHERE MAN' 

"you don't know what you're missing, nowhere man can you see me at all?"
Paul's is no longer around, and from where he is (buried) he can not see anyone.

'AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING'  

"you can't see me" "you can't hear me"
Another reference to Paul being buried.
