Let There Be Love
Oasis爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love
Let there be love
I hope the weather is calm as you sail up your heavenly stream
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Come on baby blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you don't let go, it's gonna pass you by
Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
The opening lines of Oasis' "Let There Be Love" contemplate the wonder and awe-inspiring nature of the Universe. The first two lines pose a rhetorical question, wondering who could be powerful enough to cause such an event as the sky raining over the singer. This imagery can be interpreted as a metaphor for a grand event occurring, which would even affect the most powerful people. The next line ponders who could take away the energy from the sun in a world that seems to be falling apart. The lines "Let there be love," repeated in a four-part harmony, serves as a hopeful refrain, implying that love has the ability to heal the problems of the universe.
The rest of the song features the lead singer pleading for someone to wake up from their slumber and recognize the beauty and potential of the world around them. They encourage the listener that though everything is uncertain and potentially harmful, it's important to keep pressing on and "keep clapping." They offer comfort and support, reminding them that they will be by their side, and allowing life to pass them by would be a wasted opportunity. The song's overall message, represented in the repeated lines, is that love is a powerful force that can mend the brokenness of our world.
