Whatever
Oasis瀀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's alright
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much
Free to be whatever you
Whatever you say
If it comes my way it's alright
You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please
You can shoot the breeze if you want
It always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
Here in my mind
You know you might find
Something that you
You thought you once knew
But now it's all gone
And you know it's no fun
Yeah I know it's no fun
Oh I know it's no fun
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright
The lyrics to Oasis' "Whatever" express a sense of freedom to choose and to express oneself without concern for others' opinions or expectations. The song's chorus reinforces this message, with the phrase "I'm free to be whatever I" repeated several times. The verses highlight the idea that we often only see what people want us to see and that it is important to get a grip on oneself and not be influenced by others. The lines "Here in my mind, you know you might find something that you thought you once knew, but now it's all gone" suggest that there may be deeper truths to be discovered through introspection and self-reflection.
