Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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'd
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'd 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
The lyrics to "Wonderwall" by Kieran Taylor are about a person who knows that someone they care deeply about is at a crossroads in their life, and feels that they need to encourage them to take control of their life and not be afraid to take risks. The song opens with the singer telling the listener that it is "gonna be the day" that they will throw it back to them, implying that the listener has been avoiding their responsibilities or avoiding making an important decision. The singer then goes on to say that the listener should have already "realized what you gotta do", but the listener is not taking action.
The second verse talks about how the word is out that the "fire in your heart is out". The singer has likely heard from others that the listener is not as driven or passionate as they once were, and that they have lost their spark. However, the singer is confident that the listener "never really had a doubt" and that they need to regain their confidence and focus.
The chorus repeats the idea that the listener could be the one to save the singer, and that they are their "wonderwall". The term wonderwall can refer to a person who is a source of wonder or fascination for the singer, or it can refer to something that is a source of protection or security. In either case, the singer is expressing their admiration for the listener and their belief that they have the ability to overcome their doubts and fears.
