What's sophisticated about the lyrics? A small fairytale about "strawberry fields?" I can understand the variety of rhythms/sounds but I would hardly call it layering. They were quite separate. The melodies were simple. Imagination was simple. Lyrics were simple.

But it was creative, I agree. Perhaps that would contribute in a way.
