D'You Know What I Mean?
Oasis Lyrics

Step off the train all alone at dawn
I have arrived at a new moment in my life, and I am unaccompanied in this journey.

Back into the hole where I was born
I am returning to the place where I came from after facing the world.

The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The universe did not pay attention to me in my journey.

The blood on the tracks, and they must be mine
I have gone through a hard time and I carried the burden of this experience.

The fool on the hill, and I feel fine
I am the misfit, and I have come to terms with my identity.

Don't look back 'cause you know what you might see
It is pointless to dwell on the past and its consequences.

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I am contemplating introspectively.

I think I know, but I don't know why
I understand the situation I am in, but I still cannot fathom the reasons behind it.

The questions are the answers you might need
The questions I ask myself could hold the key to what I need to know.

Coming in a mess, going out in style
My life may be chaotic now, but it will ultimately end on a high note.

I ain't good-looking, but I'm someone's child
I may not be physically attractive, but I am someone's beloved.

No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
I rely on no one to sustain my life, I have to take care of myself.

I met my maker
I faced death.

I made him cry
Death was moved by my situation.

And on my shoulder he asked me why
Death questioned the reason behind my sorrow.

His people won't fly through the storm
Many are likely to face hard times without hope of redemption.

I said, "Hey, listen up man, we don't even know you're born"
I told Death to realize that people are yet to experience the worst situations in life.

All my people right here, right now D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
I am addressing my community at a particular moment, and I want to know if they identify with my observations.

I don't really care for what you believe So open up your fist or you won't receive
I am indifferent to what people think, but I encourage them to be open-minded if they want to evolve.

The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
You will depend on the perspectives and speech of others as you journey through life.

Get up off the floor and believe in life No one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
I urge everyone to rise above their hardships and embrace life because they may not get a second chance.

Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
Embrace life's experience and come share your experiences with me.

They know what I mean yeah, yeah
My people have come to understand my message.
