It had to do with the way people were dissecting the Beatles's songs. I doubt if you remember any of this, but it all started with the
Paul Is Dead
conspiracy theories.
Google can be a handy tool. This might explain it for you…
The title of a 1968 Beatles track, “Glass Onion” was intended as a joke from Paul McCartney about people who read too much into the band's lyrics. Fans have theorised that a glass onion is a metaphor for something both multi-layered and transparent, somewhat proving the point he was making.

Here is a little something else from a site called
Song Facts.
you might want to check out the site. Some of the stories behind songs are really interesting.
John Lennon used meaningless lyrics to confuse people who were reading too much into his songs. He got a kick out of people trying to analyze his lyrics.
A glass onion is a coffin with a see-through lid. Because of this, it became a big part of the "Paul is Dead" hoax. Another clue for those who believed the hoax: Lennon sang, "The Walrus is Paul." In many European countries, a walrus represents death.

That’s funny!
Never heard of that Walrus-myth.
No wonder.
Some conspiracy theorists claimed that the
walrus was a symbol of death
in Greek and Eskimo mythology. The fact that this was
blatantly false
didn’t matter. It was one of the clues (along with the King Lear death scene) that helped to create the “Paul Is Dead” myth.
