Stand By Me
Oasis [Be Here Now Tour] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
(Hey, hey)
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
The way it's gonna be, yeah
Maybe I can see, yeah
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
(Hey, hey)
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah, God only knows, the way it's gonna be
The song Stand By Me by Oasis from the Be Here Now Tour showcases the band's ability to write honest and introspective lyrics, set against their signature sound of hard-hitting rock guitar riffs. The opening lines of the song describe a person who is feeling lost and disoriented, as they cope with the aftermath of a difficult weekend, and begins to question their own sense of purpose and direction. The lyrics then transition to a more reflective tone, as the singer contemplates the nature of relationships and the fleeting nature of life itself. The chorus of the song highlights the theme of uncertainty and the need for support and companionship, as the singer pleads for someone to stand by him, even if they don't know what the future holds.
The song's lyrics have resonated with audiences since its release, as it speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with the unknown and the desire for connection with others. The haunting melody and soaring guitar solos make for a powerful anthem that inspires hope even in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I messed up and regretted it.
I've got a lot of things to learn
I still have much to discover about myself and the world around me.
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day, Before my heart starts to burn
I promised I'd go before I got hurt.
So what's the matter with you?, Sing me something new
What's wrong with you? Can you share something fresh or positive?
Don't you know, the cold and wind and rain don't know, They only seem to come and go away
Life is unpredictable; things come and go without warning.
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
Life is tough when it feels pointless.
I've found a key upon the floor
I discovered something valuable.
Maybe you and I will not believe in, The things we find behind the door
I don't know if you and I will have the same opinions about what we find.
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stay with me, even though we can't predict the future.
If you're leaving will you take me with you, I'm tired of talking on my phone
If you're leaving, can I come with you? I'm tired of feeling alone and disconnected.
There is one thing I can never give you, My heart will never be your home
I can never fully give you my heart, it will always belong to me.
Yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be, The way it's gonna be, yeah, Maybe I can see, yeah
No one can really be sure how things will turn out but maybe I can glimpse it.
Yeah, God only knows, the way it's gonna be
Only God knows what the future holds.

Oasis are one of those bands that can lift your mood the second you start hearing one of their songs.
