Slide Away
Oasis (Noel Gallagher) 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 dream of you and we talk of growing old
But you said please don't!
Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't 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 that 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 that shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do
We are two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one that shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away

In "Slide Away," Noel Gallagher of Oasis explores the end of a relationship, with the chorus imploring the other person to "slide away and give it all you've got." The song begins with the singer's present-day situation tumbling from the top, emphasizing his feeling of loss and chaos. However, he still dreams of the other person and all the things they used to say. He wonders where they are now, indicating a sense of distance between them.
Despite the bittersweet feelings, the song dips into memories of the past, in which the two spoke of growing old together. The other person had asked the singer not to think about it, but it seems that they're not together anymore. The chorus reiterates the idea of slipping away, but this time the imagery shifts from sinking to flying. The singer wants them to slide in together, their hands gripped tightly, as they chase the sun, attempting to move on from the past. However, as they both wake up in the morning, they realize they don't know what to do. The song closes with the chorus and the repetition of "slide away."
Overall, "Slide Away" is an exploration of nostalgia and the inevitable end of relationships, wrapped up in Noel Gallagher's signature songwriting style.

Slide away, and give it all you've got
Take a leap of faith in our love and give it everything you've got
My today, fell in from the top
My day started off great, but suddenly something unexpected happened
I dream of you and all the things you say
I constantly think about you and the meaningful things you say to me
I wonder where you are now?
I feel a deep longing for you and wonder where you are
Slide in baby together we'll fly
Let's take a risk together and soar to great heights
I've tried praying and I know just what you're saying to me
Despite my prayers, I still struggle to fully understand your feelings
Now that you're mine, we'll find a way of chasing the sun
Now that we're together, we can conquer anything and strive for happiness
Let me be the one that shines with you
I want to be your partner and support you in all your endeavors
In the morning we don't know what to do
We may face uncertainty, but we can face it together
We are two of a kind, we'll find a way to do what we've done
We are similar and can overcome any obstacles like we have before
Oh, let me be the one that shines with you
I want to be the one who stands by your side and supports you
And we can slide away
Together, we can escape our problems and be happy

"Slide 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?
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
But you said please don't!
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 that 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 that shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away
Slide away - 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, that shines with you
And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away

I don't know

All I know is you can take me there

All I know is you can take me there

All I know is you can take me there
I don't know

All I know is you can take me there

All I know is you can take me there
Take me there
All I know is you can take me there
Take me there
