Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe (1994). The following year they recorded (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with drummer Alan White, in the midst of a chart rivalry with peers Blur. Spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. In addition, it stands as the fifth-best-selling album in the UK and the biggest-selling album in the UK of the 1990s. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers for their disputes and wild lifestyles. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each time, the largest outdoor concerts in UK history at the time. In 1997, Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now. It became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history.
Oasis' popularity later declined and McGuigan and Arthurs left in 1999 as Oasis released Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). They were replaced by former Heavy Stereo guitarist Gem Archer and former Ride guitarist Andy Bell. White departed in 2004, replaced by Zak Starkey and later Chris Sharrock. Oasis released three more studio albums, Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). The group abruptly disbanded after the departure of Noel Gallagher in August 2009.
As of 2009, Oasis had sold over 70 million records worldwide. They are among the most successful acts on the UK Singles Chart and Albums Chart, with eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. The band also achieved three platinum albums in the US. They won 17 NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards and six Brit Awards, including one in 2007 for Outstanding Contribution to Music and one for the "Best Album of the Last 30 Years" for (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. They were nominated for two Grammy Awards.

Goodbye Cold World
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say I'm leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I said goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
Goodbye
The lyrics to Oasis's song "Goodbye Cold World" seems to be a declaration of the end of a chapter in someone's life. The opening line, "Say goodbye cold world," sounds like a way of saying farewell to the troubles and hardships of living in this world; like the singer has had enough and is ready to move on to something new. The next line, "Say I'm leaving you today" reinforces the sentiment that the singer has made a decision to leave behind whatever has been troubling them.
The repetition of the word "goodbye" throughout the song is a clear indication of the finality of the decision being made. The singer is turning their back on the problems they've faced and is ready to move forward without whatever has held them back in the past. The line "There's nothing you can say to make me change my mind" suggests that the decision to move on has already been made and nothing can convince the person to remain in the same place.
Overall, "Goodbye Cold World" is a song that speaks to the desire to leave behind bad situations and start fresh. It's a powerful message about the importance of taking control of one's life and making changes when necessary.
