Slide Away
Noel Gallagher/Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Hold me down all the world's asleep
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't know what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
We're two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
The song "Slide Away" by Noel Gallagher/Oasis is a reflective love song that muses about the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. The opening lines "Slide away and give it all you've got, My today fell in from the top, I dream of you and all the things you say, I wonder where you are now?" speaks to the longing between two people who seem to be drifting apart. The singer wants to hold on to the love he shared with his partner and is afraid of losing it. The lyrics "Hold me down all the world's asleep, I need you now you've knocked me off my feet" further demonstrate the neediness of the singer towards his loved one.
As the song progresses, the singer admits to dreaming of growing old together, but the partner said no. The line, "But you said please don't," signifies a rejection of the future plans they both made. However, the chorus of "Slide in baby together we'll fly, I've tried praying but I don't know what you're saying to me, Now that you're mine we'll find a way, Of chasing the sun, Let me be the one who shines with you," has a sense of hopefulness towards the future. The lyrics suggest that if they just hold on tight to their love, they can overcome any obstacle.
Overall, "Slide Away" is a poignant representation of the ups and downs of romantic relationships. The lyrics suggest that love is a complicated emotion that can bring immense joy but also much sadness.

Slide away and give it all you've got
Take a chance and go for it with everything you have
My today fell in from the top
Today felt like a disappointment or letdown
I dream of you and all the things you say
I think about you often and treasure what you say to me
I wonder where you are now?
I am curious about your whereabouts
Hold me down all the world's asleep
Everything else fades away when I am with you
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
You have a powerful effect on me and I cannot get enough of you
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
We have a future together and envision growing old together
But you said please don't
You are unsure about committing to me and have asked me not to push too hard
Slide in baby together we'll fly
Let's take this journey together and see where it can lead us
I've tried praying but I don't know what you're saying to me
I have tried to understand your feelings but I am still unsure
Now that you're mine
Now that we are together
We'll find a way
We will overcome obstacles and make this work
Of chasing the sun
We will pursue happiness together
Let me be the one who shines with you
Let us be bright and happy together
In the morning we don't know what to do
We face the unknown future and can only hope for the best
Two of a kind
We belong together
To do what we've done
To repeat our happy experiences together
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
I want to be your partner in everything
And we can slide away
Let us move forward together and forget the troubles of the world
Slide away
Let us leave everything behind and start anew
Slide away
Let us pursue happiness together
Slide away
Let us forget our worries together
Away
Let us move on to a better future together
