Roll With It
Oasis攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much
For me to take
Don't ever stand aside
You ought to be who you be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking things that I just can't abide
I know the roads on which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl she's not behind the door
Do you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before
[Chorus]
I know the roads on which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl she's not behind the door
Do you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before
[Chorus]
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You ought to be who you be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside [Repeat: x 8]
In "Roll With It," Oasis encourages listeners to stay true to themselves and not let anyone get in the way of their dreams. The song suggests that life can be overwhelming at times, but it's important to take your time and stay the course despite any challenges. The chorus repeats the idea that you have to "roll with it," which can mean going with the flow or adapting to circumstances without letting them defeat you.
The lyrics also touch upon self-discovery and introspection. The singer confesses to having a feeling he's lost inside and thinking about things he just can't abide. He then tells the listener he knows the roads on which their life will drive and has found the key that lets them slip inside. It seems like he's suggesting that he's been through similar struggles and can help guide them through theirs. The line about recognizing someone's face but never having seen them before could be interpreted as feeling a connection with someone despite not knowing them personally.
The overall theme of the song is one of empowerment and perseverance. It encourages listeners to be themselves, push through obstacles and stay true to their vision. In typical Oasis style, the song has a strong rock melody and catchy chorus that make it a crowd-pleaser to this day.
