Dont Look Back In A
Oasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger




I heard you say
At least not today

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis is often interpreted as a call to move on from the past and look toward the future with a positive attitude. The lyrics "slip inside the eye of your mind" and "take me to the place where you go, where nobody knows if it's night or day" encourage the listener to escape from reality and imagine a better place to play, a place where there is no anger or regret. The chorus "but don't look back in anger, I heard you say" is a message of hope and redemption, urging the listener not to dwell on the mistakes of the past but to focus on the present and future instead.


The second verse contains the iconic lines "So I start a revolution from my bed 'cause you said the brains I had went to my head." The band has stated that these lines were inspired by John Lennon's song "Mind Games," particularly the line "make a psychedelic out of yourself." Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher has said that he interpreted this as Lennon telling him to use his mind and creativity to make a difference in the world. The reference to summertime and standing beside the fireplace evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, further emphasizing the idea of finding peace and contentment in the present moment.

Slip inside the eye of your mind

You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen

Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away
So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head.
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away

My mother’s name was Sally. My brother and I used to torture her with this song back in the 90’s. She’s gone now, and those days are priceless to me.

@Delicate_Disaster

My mothers name is Tammy. Look up the song "Tammy" by Debbie Reynolds and imagine your father being an alarm tech who can make any random electronic play whatever you want it to, except back in the 90s when streaming wasnt a thing. Lmao. We used to wrap gifts where once they were opened they wouldnt stop until the security system battery died. Do you know how long it takes for a security battery to die? Lmao. She buried one in a snowbank one year and the next Monday when it was time to go to school the snowbank was singing "Taaaammmmmy Taaaammmmyyy Tammy's in love" 🤣 her father started it when she was a kid. Shes 50 now 🤣
