Full On
Oasis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

But no-one really knows why there's a spirit in the sky
There's escape so long
He will understand while I take him by the hand
Why life's time tunnel is long
Well it will be alright
If you stay tonight
It's where we both belong
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on

I hear my heart beatin' faster
I feel it in my bones
I want it now 'cause I have ta
But why no-one knows
I'm like the angel on the A train
My eyes is diamond white
And from the cradle till your insane
The life you have to fight
But no-one really knows why there's a spirit in the sky
There's escape so long
He will understand while I take him by the hand
Why life's time tunnel is long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Full On" by Oasis seem to be describing a feeling of intense excitement and urgency. The first few lines describe a physical sensation of the heart beating faster and an inner desire that cannot be easily explained. The singer compares himself to an "angel on the A train," perhaps suggesting that he feels elevated or connected to something higher than himself. The mention of the "spirit in the sky" could indicate a belief in something beyond earthly existence.

As the song progresses, the phrase "it will be alright if you stay tonight" repeats, suggesting that the singer is trying to convince someone to stay with him and share in his intense experience. The line "why life's time tunnel is long" could refer to the feeling that life is passing too slowly or too quickly, and that the present moment is particularly significant.

Overall, the lyrics of "Full On" convey a sense of urgency, excitement, and a desire for human connection, perhaps reflecting the feeling of many young people experiencing the joys and struggles of early adulthood.

And from the cradle till your insane
Life is a struggle from the moment you're born until the point where you feel like you're losing your mind

The life you have to fight
Life is a constant battle, but we have to keep fighting to make it through

But no-one really knows why there's a spirit in the sky
There is a mystical force guiding us, but its purpose remains unknown

There's escape so long
There is a way to escape our troubles, if only we can persevere long enough to find it

We're going to experience everything that life has to offer in this one moment

It's gonna be full on
We're going to live life to the fullest in this one moment

This is amazing!!! Easily one of their best B-Sides. The B-Sides from Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants are far superior to 80% of the tracks on that actual album. I have compiled an alternate Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants from offical recordings for my own listening pleasure. Don't pick holes in it, Like i said it's for my own listening pleasure and i personally think it flows far better. The tracklist is as follows:

1. Fuckin In The Bushes
2. Go Let It Out
3. Who Feels Love
4. Carry Us All
5. One Way Road
6. Where Did It All Go Wrong?
7. As Long As They've Got Cigarettes In Hell
8. Gas Panic
9. I Can See A Liar
10. Full On
12. Lets All Make Believe
13. Roll It Over

@travellingshoes5241

The potential for his album always plagued me. This was my version from way back...

1. Fuckin' In The Bushes
2.Go Let It Out
3.Let's All Make Believe
4.Carry Us All
5.Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is
6.Gas Panic
7.Where Did It All Go Wrong
8.Full On
9.Roll It Over
10.One Way Road

@GuideUsTitus

This is probably one of THE most incredible songs that was unfortunately kept B-side - one of Noel's songs that truly fires me up and is filled with utter passion. It is difficult to describe what I feel when I listen to this. Noel's way with words is just unparalleled....incredible.

What an utter fucking tune. I'm a massive Oasis fan and haven't heard this until now. Also, I would like to hear Liam singing it (like many others), but either way, even with Noel singing it, it's still mega.

This album had a load of decent B-sides that should have been on the main album !

@BenjaminDaCunha-ys8ty

I think the problem is that Noel sung most of the good BSides and as Liam needed to be on at least half, we ended up with Little James and Put Yer Money Where Your Mouth Is

@calebre

"He will understand, while I take him by the hand, that life's time tunnel is long" best line in the history of music

@kostasxrysogelos

7y↑8

"Full on", "Let's all make believe" and "One way road" instead of "I can see a liar" and maybe "Sunday morning call" and you have an album almost as good as "Definitely maybe". It's impressive that he let these masterpieces hide as mere b-sides.

@StockportCountyLad

Such an epic b-side.

@Pinoycaptain2012

If Liam sang this, it would be a killer song

@joaolacerda6707

It is a killer song. It has a "supersonic-ish" single potential, but didn't make to the album.

@HeathenAmorphous

Angelo Reyes I guess that didn't happen because Liam couldn't hit the high notes since then.

@jondhoe6875

Liam sounds like a crying whining baby. And I actually like him. But Noel is far hotter.

@ChainNonSmoker

HeathenAmorphous It don't go any higher than "Roll it over" did and it wouldn't be the first time Oasis changed the pitch of the songs if he could't. Noel decided it's b-side then it's b-side unfortunately.

@NahuelPatino

12y

Amen. Freaky teeth and Simple Game of Genius goes in that direction. But to be honest, the unreleased songs at soudchecks are pretty acoustic-ish. I like it, but, it's time for a change. Other than plain rocknroll, Noel should also retake the path he took with SOTSOG... it's time for more experimental stuff. Something like gas panic, who feels love...

I would like to use this space here to ask Noel a very serious question regarding tracklisting of a certain album released in 2000; Why was Full On not on it mate????

@jonathancross5428

9y↑30

Too bad Liam couldn't be bothered to sing on any of the B-sides to this album except for "Let's All Make Believe". I like the idea of an alternate album with B-sides replacing the weaker SOTSOG tracks, but it quickly turns into a Noel Gallagher record.

@btherr

8y↑5

+Jonathan Cross That doesn't put me off of that idea. Noel was saving his best stuff for himself here and it shows. Album has never thrilled me but this era's b-sides rival anything he's ever written.

Noel usually sings the songs he wants.

@danielvanauken6354

Force of Nature could be titled "Full on Version 2" Force of Nature is more or less a dead rewrite of this much superior track. Ohh Noel. Can't complain though, how many songwriters have written this amount of material, at this level of craftsmanship? When it comes to solo writers (i.e. not a lennon-mccartney setup) probably none?

@IFirePlacesLike

All the B-sides and Demos from SOTSOG are great, Little James shouldn't have made it on to that album.

@katoness

Cos I didn't like the Sunday Morning Call song, I never bought the single CD when it came out. Missed this gem, obviously,

@chevasflorian4055

This song is much better than "Put your money...", "Roll it over" and "I can see a Liar".

@heyjude9240

Roll It Over is the Champagne Supernova of SOTSOG

@Uf210

It reminds me of "The Stooges-Search&Destroy" and "Force of Nature"

@rossheathorn121

This and let's all make believe should of made it on sotsog. Also I reckon liam should have sang where did it all go wrong. The album was alright but definitely the worst album they did. Oasis are the reason I started playing guitar, me and 1.000.000 others I guess. Thanx for the inspiration. I hot some tunes up just ruff acoustic, put in Ross Heathorn. See what ya think, peace people x

@niallwarren4660

7y↑3

Sunday Morning Call, has the most resemblance and most meaningful to myself on a personal level that I can relate to. reminds me of an particular moment whilst I was unfortunately in hospital due to getting hit by a car at 14 years old. reminds me of my family close and more so certain distant family that I've grown closer to over the years. means a lot to me

@dontbro How much better would that album have been eh!! Put Let's All Make Believe in there too instead of Little James!

@RollingPeople97

13y

@Iantorchwood94 I totally agree! Little James and Who Feels Love should never have been on there. I feel the same way about Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is and I Can See A Liar. Carry Us All, Full On, Let's All Make Believe and One Way Road were far superior, in my my well versed opinion ;) What an album it could have been.
