Gregorian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)





You're gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)

Overall Meaning

The song "Wonderwall" by Gregorian is about unrequited love and the singer's desperation for the person he loves to save him from his emotional turmoil. The first verse establishes that today is the day that the singer's love interest will realize that he is the one for her. The second line suggests that the person should have already known what to do, but evidently, she hasn't. The singer then confesses that he feels something deep for her that no one else does, and he desperately wants her to feel the same way about him.


The chorus of "Wonderwall" is the most recognizable part of the song. The singer ponders whether the love interest could be the one to save him from himself. He confesses that she is his "wonderwall," a term that refers to someone that stands between him and the world's troubles. In the second verse, the singer realizes that today is probably not the day it will happen, and he has lost hope. The roads and lights mentioned at this point are probably the obstacles and distractions keeping the singer and his love interest from each other. The song ends with the singer once again musing on the chance that his love will save him.

Maybe it's just me, but their songs are always hilarious for the first couple seconds after the vocals come in, and then that soon gives way to appreciation for their truly beautiful arrangements. It's like turning a joke into legitimate art.

In fact, the only reason why they don't tour the States is because we would probably laugh them off the stage, at first.

It's amazing how people can sing in a chorus like this and stay on key and be singing at the same time
