Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat, the word was 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 about you now (about you now, about you now)

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

'Cause maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

'Cause maybe ('cause maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
And after all (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 gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

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

'Cause maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

'Cause maybe ('cause maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)




And after all (and after all)
You're my wonderwall (wonderwall)

Overall Meaning

The song "Wonderwall" by Oba Oba Samba House starts by talking about hope and opportunity as the singer declares that "Today is gonna be the day" that something significant is going to happen. The song then suggests that the person being addressed needs to realize what they need to do to make the hoped-for event come to pass. The singer believes that nobody feels the same way as they do about the addressee.


The word on the street, according to the song, is that the person being addressed has lost their passion for something. Although the addressee has likely heard this feedback before, they've never needed to question whether it's right or wrong until now. The song then discusses how the journey they must undertake to reach their goal will be winding and treacherous. It says that there are many things that the singer would like to say to the addressee, but they don't know how to do so.


The chorus provides comfort and hope to the person being addressed by saying "maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me, and after all, you're my Wonderwall." The term "Wonderwall" is used here to signify something that the singer can't live without.
