D'yer Wanna be a Spaceman
(Acoustic) Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I was Kid
Your bringing back those memories
Of the thing that we did
You're hanging round and climbing trees
Pretending to fly
D'yer want to 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 want to be no spaceman
You just want gold
Allthe dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you want to 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 want to be no spaceman
You just want gold Dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you want to 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
The song "D'yer Wanna be a Spaceman" by Oasis takes a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about childhood dreams and comparing them to the realities of adulthood. The opening verse references a long-lost friend who used to play with the singer in their youth, pretending to fly and be spacemen. The singer notes that the friend has since grown up and become a responsible adult, with bills to pay and a family to care for. The second verse delves deeper into this idea of lost dreams, with the singer noting that the town they live in has made the friend "a man" and that "all of your dreams / are washed in the sand."
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, with the singer insisting that it's okay to have dreams and that it's never too late to pursue them. They question who they are to judge what's "wrong and what's right" and suggest that it's possible to "find common ground" and "just forget about feeling down."
Overall, the song presents a nostalgic and wistful look at the passage of time and the loss of childhood innocence and wonder. It encourages listeners to hold on to their dreams and to keep striving for what they truly want.
Line by Line Meaning
I haven't seen your face round
It's been a while since I last saw you
Since I was Kid
Since we were very young
Your bringing back those memories
You are making me remember things
Of the thing that we did
Of the things we used to do together
You're hanging round and climbing trees
You are still up for some adventure
Pretending to fly
Imagining ourselves to be flying in the sky
D'yer want to be a spaceman and live in the sky
Do you still have the same desire to explore the unknown and travel to space?
You got how many bills to pay
You have financial obligations to fulfill
And how many kids
You have children to take care of
And you forgot
You seem to have lost sight of
About the things that we did
The adventures and experiences we shared
The town where we're living
The place we call home
Has made you a man
You have grown up and become a responsible adult
And all of your dreams
The aspirations you once had
Are washed in the sand
Have faded away and might not come true
Well it's alright
Everything is okay
It's alright
We should not judge others
Who are you and me to say
We are not in a position to judge
What's wrong and what's right
What is acceptable and what is not
Do you still feel like me
Do you still have the same interests and desires
We sit down here
Let's take a moment to talk
And we shall see
We might discover something new and meaningful
We can talk
We can communicate and share our thoughts
And find common ground
We could relate and agree on certain things
And we can just forget
We could put aside
About feeling down
Our negative feelings
About life in this town.
The monotony and routine of our daily lives
It's funny how your dreams
It's interesting how our aspirations
Change as you're growing old
Transform and evolve as we age
You don't want to be no spaceman
Your interests and passions have changed
You just want gold
You are more concerned about wealth and material possessions
Dream stealers
People who discourage and criticize your aspirations
Are lying in wait
Are waiting for an opportunity to bring you down
But if you want to be a spaceman
However, if you still have the same desire
It's still not too late
It's not too late to pursue your dreams
