Help!
Oasis/Noel Gallagher Lyrics

God help us all
Expressing fear and concern over an impending disaster or catastrophe, and a plea for divine intervention.

Heavens are to fall
The situation is so dire that even the sky seems to be collapsing or falling apart.

Stay by my side
A request for companionship and support during a difficult time or crisis.

The sky rips open wide
A vivid description of the looming disaster, as if the sky is literally tearing apart.

Don't wait for me
If the artist is not there when the other person returns, they should not hold out hope or wait for their return.

If I'm not here when you return
Acknowledging the possibility that the singer may not survive the impending disaster or may be separated from the other person.

If there's a God
A statement of uncertainty or doubt about the existence of a higher power that might save them from the disaster.

You'll be crashing when you burn
The disaster is so catastrophic that it will affect everyone, rich or poor, and there will be no escape or salvation from it.

A still white light
Describing a peaceful and calming light that shines over the world, but which cannot dispel the cold or the impending disaster.

That shines upon the world
The light is all-encompassing and universal, but cannot prevent what is about to happen.

Won't lift the cold
Despite its peaceful nature, the light has no power to counteract the darkness or the cold that is about to descend.

Singing out sha la la la la
A refrain that appears multiple times throughout the song, serving as a kind of catharsis or release from the tension and anxiety expressed in the lyrics.

And I'll go insane
The singer is becoming increasingly desperate and fearful, to the point of losing their sanity or sense of control.

If you don't save my soul
A plea for the other person to provide emotional or spiritual comfort and support, as if their very soul is at stake in the impending disaster.

For rich or poor
The disaster will not discriminate between people of different wealth or social status, all will be affected equally.

You don't speak no more
The magnitude of the disaster is such that even conversation or communication becomes impossible.
