Live Forever
Oasis(綠洲合唱團) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows cos I just want to fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me we see things they'll never see you and I
were gonna live forever

I said maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows cos I just want to fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I will never be all the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me we see things they'll never see you and I
We're gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows cos I just want to fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me we see things they'll never see you and I
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever

Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever




Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oasis' song "Live Forever" are a reflection of the human desire to escape from the mundanity of life and achieve immortality, whether through art, love, or simply enduring fame. The opening lines of the song, "Maybe I don't really wanna know / How your garden grows cos I just want to fly," suggest a wish to transcend the limitations of ordinary existence and achieve something greater. The reference to the pains of life, "In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone," speaks to the difficulty of that search for transcendence.


The chorus, "Maybe I just want to fly, I want to live, I don't want to die / Maybe you're the same as me, we see things they'll never see, you and I / We're gonna live forever," encapsulates the song's message of yearning for eternal life. The verses continue with a sense of acceptance, "Maybe I will never be all the things that I want to be / But now is not the time to cry now's the time to find out why," suggesting that despite its difficulty, the search for immortality is still worth pursuing.


Overall, "Live Forever" is a celebration of the human spirit's resilience and desire to rise above the mundane, to achieve greatness, and to live on in the memories of others.

Recipe for Oasis-songs:

1. Tambourine
2. Psychedelic lyrics
3. REALLY loud mixed guitars
4. That one chord you don't see coming
5. Melodies that seem simple but get stuck in your head easily
6. A voice that can handle emotion and sarcasm at the same time as good as Liam
7. "I said maybe" (optional)

Somehow it works.

"Live Forever"

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just wanna fly
Want to live I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I said, maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
Now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just wanna fly
Want to live I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
