Supersonic
ÂÌÖ޺ϳªÍÅOasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?

You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
You need to find out
'Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow

'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call
Nobody can ever hear him call

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
And she makes me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue
When she finds out
No one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow

'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him




Nobody can ever hear him call
Nobody can ever hear him call

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oasis's Supersonic are a mix of seemingly random thoughts and experiences. The main theme of the song seems to be about being true to oneself and not trying to be someone else. The opening line, "I need to be myself, I can't be no one else," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is feeling "supersonic," which could mean that he is feeling exhilarated or overconfident.


The second verse introduces a girl named Elsa who is into Alka Seltzer and sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train. This could be interpreted as a drug reference or just a quirky character that the singer has encountered. The chorus repeats the message of needing to be true to oneself and finding a way to express what one wants to say.


The final verse brings in the singer's friend who says he will take the person home. The friend is described as sitting alone in a corner and living under a waterfall, which adds to the mysterious and eccentric atmosphere of the song. The friend cannot be seen or heard calling out, which furthers the theme of feeling isolated and misunderstood.


Overall, Supersonic is a mix of nonsensical yet intriguing lyrics that encourage individuality and self-expression.

Supersonic Lyrics

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your B. M. W?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine

You need to find out
Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm all about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow

Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
And she made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue

When she finds out
No one's gonna tell her what I'm all about
You need to find a way for what she wants to say
But before tomorrow

Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

It's strange they used gin n tonic I guess only because it rhymed that's not a drink I can imagine these guys drinking in a million years..it's considered an upper class drink.
