The Shock of the Lightning
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel cold but I'm back in the fire,
Out of control but I'm tied up tight,
Come in, come out tonight
Coming up in the early morning,
I feel love in the shock of the lightning,
I fall into the blinding light,
[Chorus]
Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It's all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time,
And all in good time,
And all in good time
I got my feet on the street but I can't stop flying,
My head's in the clouds but at least I'm trying,
I'm out of control but I'm tied up tight,
Come in, come out tonight
There's a hole in the ground into which I'm falling,
So God's speed to the sound of the pounding,
I'm all into the blinding light,
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
[Chorus]
It's all in my mind,
Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
And all in good time,
And all in good time,
And all in good time
In The Shock of the Lightning, Oasis talks about being driven by their heart's desire, despite feeling lost and out of control. The lyrics describe the feelings of being tied up tight, wanting to come in and come out, and being surrounded by blinding lights. The references to early morning and falling into a hole in the ground suggest a sense of disorientation and chaos, and the chorus speaks to the concept of love as a time machine and a magical mystery.
The song is an upbeat and energetic rock anthem, showcasing Oasis's signature style. The lyrics suggest a longing for something bigger and more profound than one's immediate circumstances, and the chorus's repetition of "all in good time" suggests a sense of trust in the universe's natural course.
