Champagne Supernova
ÂÌÖ޺ϳªÍÅOasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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 people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning 'round, we don't know why
Why, why, why, why?

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 people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning 'round, we don't know why
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




We were getting high
We were getting high

Overall Meaning

The song "Champagne Supernova" by Oasis is often considered one of their greatest works, and its lyrics have been subject to much interpretation over the years. The song itself is named after a type of supernova, a rare astronomical event where a star burns out in a massive explosion, leaving behind a cloud of gas and dust. In the lyrics, the songwriter ask how many people change and how many lives are living strange, pondering the nature of existence itself. The line "Where were you while we were getting high?" implies a sense of camaraderie among the singer and his friends, perhaps during a drug-induced haze.


The second stanza describes a dreamer who never dies, and encourages the listener to wipe their tears away, perhaps indicating a sense of hope or inspiration. The song then returns to the same refrain about being caught beneath a landslide and experiencing a champagne supernova. The final stanza deals with the idea that people often believe they can escape their problems with a summer vacation, but the world keeps spinning, and we don't know why. The repeated refrain of "we were getting high" in the final stanza also conveys a sense of youthful rebellion and a desire to escape from reality.

Call upon the dawn and ask why people who dream never really die, and try to wipe away the sadness from your eyes

We were getting high
We were enjoying life and having fun
