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.

Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Hold me down all the world's asleep
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't know what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me
Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
We're two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away

The song "Slide Away" by Oasis is a beautiful love song with a hint of sadness. The lyrics convey the emotions of a person who has fallen deeply in love with someone but is facing challenges in their relationship. The first stanza opens with the phrase "Slide away and give it all you've got"; this line could be interpreted in two different ways; it could either mean to give the relationship everything you have to try to make it work, or it could mean to walk away from the situation entirely. The line "My today fell in from the top" suggests that the singer's world has been turned upside down, and they are struggling to come to terms with the unpredictability of life.
The line "I dream of you and all the things you say" hints that the singer is seeking reassurance and comfort from the person they love. The second stanza conveys a sense of loneliness and the need for the loved one's presence. The phrase "Hold me down all the world's asleep" suggests that the singer is feeling isolated and is seeking comfort from the person they love. The line "I need you now you've knocked me off my feet" indicates that the singer has been floored by the intensity of their feelings for their loved one. The concluding lines of the song suggest that the singer hopes to find a way to make the relationship work and remain together, even if it requires them to overcome some significant obstacles.
