Slide Away

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Hold me down all the world's asleep
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
We're two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away

The song "Slide Away" by Oasis appears to be sung from the perspective of a person who is in a relationship that is falling apart. Whether it is the singer or the person they are addressing, one of them seems to be leaving, literally or figuratively, and the other is begging them to stay. The beginning of the song suggests that the singer understands that their partner is going, but they ask them for one last effort, to "slide away and give it all you've got." The next few lines suggest that the singer has had their whole world shaken by the potential loss of this person, as their "today fell in from the top," implying that everything they thought they knew has been turned on its head. They are obviously very emotional about the situation, as they "dream of" their partner and "wonder where [they] are now."
The middle of the song is both hopeful and sad. The singer says that they are "two of a kind" and that they will "find a way to do what we've done," but they also reveal that they don't know what to do in the morning. They seem to be clinging to the hope that their relationship will survive whatever it is that's happening, but they also seem to realize that there's a chance that it won't. The end of the song repeats the earlier lyrics, with the singer asking their partner to stay and offering to "be the one who shines with you." The repetition of the phrase "slide away" suggests that it is repeated pleas for a last-ditch effort at keeping the relationship alive.

Slide away and give it all you've got
Take a step back and give everything you've got to make this work
My today fell in from the top
Today went completely unexpected and out of control
I dream of you and all the things you say
I think about you often and cherish the words you speak
I wonder where you are now?
I am curious and worried about your current whereabouts
Hold me down all the world's asleep
As the world sleeps, I am in need of someone to hold onto
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I need your presence now as you have made such an impact on me
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
I have visions of a future with you, getting old together
But you said please don't
But you have expressed your reluctance towards this future
Slide in baby together we'll fly
Join me and we will soar through life together
I've tried praying but I don't know just what you're saying to me
I have tried to seek guidance but I am still uncertain about your intentions
Now that you're mine
Now that we're together in a romantic sense
We'll find a way
We will overcome any obstacles that come our way
Of chasing the sun
We are pursuing our goals with passion and energy
Let me be the one who shines with you
Let me be the one to share in your achievements and happiness
In the morning we don't know what to do
We wake up uncertain of our next moves or decisions
Two of a kind
We are very similar in many ways
To do what we've done
To continue on the path we have already created
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
I want to share in your successes and be a part of your journey
And we can slide away
We can escape reality and our problems for a brief moment

Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go
I want my house in the hills
Don't want the whiskey and pills
I don't give up easily
But I don't think I'm down
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, la la la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, la la la, you'll slide away
Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us (for us)
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go
Move on, we're not 17
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, la la la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, la la la, you'll slide away
Move on, we're not 17
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now

Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost

I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now
