Champagne Supernova

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
Cause we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-I-I
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
Cause we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'cause we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
“Champagne Supernova” by Matt Pond PA is a cover of the 1996 hit song by Oasis. The opening lines of the song, “How many special people change? / How many lives are living strange?” may refer to the fleeting nature of fame and the existential questions that come with it. The song may be an introspective reflection on the consequences of drug use and partying, which may have resulted in the loss of close relationships and personal direction. The phrase “Where were you while we were getting high?” could be seen as a rhetorical question and a metaphor for lost time.
The verses describe walking down a hall “faster than a cannonball” and being caught “beneath the landslide”, which may symbolize troubles that have become overwhelming. The chorus describes the “champagne supernova in the sky”, which is a metaphor for something that is both beautiful and destructive, a moment of glory that is also fleeting. The lines “But you and I will never die / The world’s still spinning around we don’t know why” suggest that the singer and their companion believe in their own immortality in the face of chaos and uncertainty.
It is a remarkable fact that the song "Champagne Supernova" by Oasis was originally intended to be a psychedelic song in the vein of “Tomorrow Never Knows” by The Beatles. But it eventually turned out as a ballad, attributed to the idea of Liam Gallagher.

How many special people change?
How many unique individuals undergo transformation?
How many lives are living strange?
How many existences are unconventional?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Where were you during the time we were indulging in intoxicants?
Slowly walking down the hall
Moving at a leisurely pace through the corridors
Faster than a cannonball
Moving at a lightning-fast speed
Someday you will find me
At some point in the future, you will locate me
Caught beneath the landslide
Trapped under a torrent of debris
In a champagne supernova in the sky
In an awe-inspiring, magnificent experience that is transient
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
Rouse the sunrise and question it
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
A visionary persists despite adversity
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Eliminate the droplet of water from your visual organ
'cause we don't believe
Because we are dubious
That they're gonna get away from the summer
That they can escape the obligations associated with summertime
But you and I will never die
Nevertheless, you and I will persist
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
The planet is still rotating, and we are unaware of the rationale
Why-why-why-why-I-I
Questioning the motives while we persist
We were getting high
Indulging in inebriation

Great song...love Matt Pond on recording and live. Great live act.
David Lozano
best vocal cover I've heard yet. Even the girls shy away from the high octave, very brave, and hard to do. nice work.

The O.C is still one of my favorite Series after all these years.
