"Across the Universe" by The Beatles

Identify three images in this song.
"Images of broken light/which dance before me like a million eyes"
"Sounds of laughter shades of life/are ringing through my open ears"
"Thought meander like a restless wind inside a letter box"

Are any of there images symbols in context?
I don't think so...

Explain one symbol that you know to be a symbol. What makes it more than an image?
A rose is a very common symbol, specifically a red rose. A red rose commonly represents love, while other colors of roses mean various things, depending on the color. Red roses, however, is a very common symbol regarding love, associated with dates, and a boyfriend/girlfriend, or a wife/husband. Red roses symbolize romantic love.
