All Around The World
♫ Oasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I wanna be
I don't believe in everything I see
You know I'm blind so why d'you disagree?

Take me away
'Cause I just don't wanna stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Whatcha gonna do when the walls come fallin' down?
You never move you never make a sound
Where you gonna swim with the riches that you found?
You're lost at sea, well I hope that you drown

Take me away
'Cause I just don't wanna stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard
You're gonna make a better day
And all around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Na-na-na-na, na na na na

Line by Line Meaning

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
It's too soon in the night to have it all figured out


To go through all the things that I wanna be
Listing everything I want to accomplish


I don't believe in everything I see
Being skeptical of what's presented to me


You know I'm blind so why d'you disagree?
Questioning why others would argue with my perspective when I'm already limited


Take me away
Wanting to escape my current situation


'Cause I just don't wanna stay
I don't want to remain where I am


And the lies you make me say
Being coerced to say things that are not true


Are getting deeper every day
Being pushed to lie more frequently and with more severity


These are crazy days but they make me shine
Living through difficult times is helping to bring out the best in me


Time keeps rolling by
The passage of time continues regardless of current circumstances


All around the world
In every corner of the globe


You've gotta spread the word
Encouraging others to share their thoughts and experiences


Tell 'em what you've heard
Sharing information that may be useful or important


You're gonna make a better day
Working together to create a better future for ourselves and others


Whatcha gonna do when the walls come fallin' down?
What will you do when everything around you seems to be collapsing?


You never move you never make a sound
Choosing to be inactive or silent in difficult situations


Where you gonna swim with the riches that you found?
What will you do with your success and wealth?


You're lost at sea, well I hope that you drown
If you're lost and unable to navigate through life, it might be better to give in and start over


Na-na-na-na, na na na na
No particular meaning, just a repeated melody


It's gonna be okay
Everything will turn out alright in the end


And I know what I know
Having confidence in my experiences and beliefs


Please don't cry, never say die
Encouraging others to stay strong in tough times

I haven't seen your face round
Since I was a kid
You're bringing back those memories
Of the thing that we did
You're hangin round
And climbing trees
Pretending to fly
D'Yer wanna be a spaceman
And live in the sky

You got how many bills to pay
And how many kids
And you forgot about
The things that we did
The town where we're living
Has made you a man
And all of your dreams
Are washed in the sand

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.

It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want gold
Dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.

It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want gold Dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town
