wonderwall
Oasiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now
Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
The opening lines of "Wonderwall" are some of the most recognizable in rock music, with frontman Liam Gallagher singing “Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you / By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do.” The song reflects on an emotional moment between two people who are close, but struggling to connect. Gallagher sings about the difficulties of communication and how the paths we take can be winding and treacherous. The chorus, which repeats “You’re gonna be the one that saves me”, seems to be directed at the person he’s singing to, as if he’s asking them to open themselves up and save their relationship.

@@patrickbateman7802 you grow up and lose your youth, friends die, you get hurt and struggle to be an adult in a myriad of scenarios life throws...then you remember some time you heard this, when you were a teen and all the things you've been through were still ahead of you...in other words, life hits you
@ReeceyW
Jeez this describes how this song feels to me so frickin well
@angelicakestin3755
Patrick Bateman nothing major, just the overwhelming feeling that I can never relive moments. Every time I hear this song it’s like a time machine to many years back to when I’d listen to this every day. Times with no pandemic, or stress, times from long ago that remind me just how precious life really is. You really never realize how fast it passes except in hindsight. Once it’s gone, there’s no getting it back so cherish every moment :)
