Don't Go Away
Oasis feat. Johnny Depp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong
So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
And don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
So don't go away
The song "Don't Go Away" by Oasis feat. Johnny Depp begins with a cold and frosty morning where the singer feels lost in their thoughts. The mention of the plane flying away with their thoughts suggests a feeling of being disconnected from the present and unable to move forward. The chorus repeats the phrase "don't go away" several times, emphasizing the singer's fear of losing someone they care about. They express a desire to be there for that person during difficult times and make things right between them.
The following verse expresses frustration with the singer's situation and the games they feel they have to play. They blame their education for their inability to find the words to express themselves. Again, they express a desire to be there for the other person when they need them. The final verse seems to be a plea for clarity in the relationship, as if both parties are struggling to understand their feelings for each other. In the end, the singer acknowledges that time is needed to make things right between them.
Overall, the song appears to be about the difficulty of communication and the fear of losing someone important. The repeated phrase "don't go away" speaks to the singer's fear of abandonment and their desire for a stable, lasting relationship.

The most underrated Oasis tune. One of the best songs Noel has ever written.
@mechanicalarms1648
Definitely a brilliant song 🤝💯
@norwegian4320
this song is not underestimated, it is very recognized.
@Blindswordsman1994
@@norwegian4320 unless you’re an Oasis fan, you would most likely not know this song (unlike Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger)
@romanrodriguez5100
@@norwegian4320 I think it’s not. Noel actually said that on an interview. He had the song written before WTSMR came out so he actually thought to include it on the CD.
He said that if he would have done that the tune could have been ten times more “successful”.
It is a great song, but a lot of the people didn’t appreciate it that much at the time.
@travisthornton1792
One of my favorites too but Noel kinda co-wrote it without giving credit to the Real People. See their song “Feel the Pain” around the ~1:30 mark. https://youtu.be/YH1FBmWL0V8
