Supersonic
Oasis(오아시스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
You need to find out
Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow
Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call
You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue
She needs to find out
Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
She needs to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow
Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call
In Oasis's iconic song Supersonic, the lyrics tell a story of the value of individuality, the pursuit of self-expression, and the search for personal truth. The chorus declares "I need to be myself, I can't be no one else, I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic" proclaiming the importance of self-discovery and independence.
The song also touches on the idea of fame and success, with the lines "you can have it all, but how much do you want it?" questioning the true value of material possessions and status symbols. The singer also seeks connection with others, asking for autographs and rides in fancy cars, but ultimately stressing the importance of being true to oneself and finding one's own path.
The second half of the song introduces the character of Elsa, who is described as an outsider who embraces a unique lifestyle, including using Alka-Seltzer and selling the Big Issue. Her story serves as a reminder that often those who are overlooked or dismissed by society have their own important stories and perspectives to share.

You need to find a way for what you wanna say
But before tomorrow

'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
Sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall

this song is so badass, my tea turned into gin n tonic
@paullangton-rogers2390
It's strange they used gin n tonic I guess only because it rhymed that's not a drink I can imagine these guys drinking in a million years..it's considered an upper class drink.
