Wonderwall
Steve Acho Lyrics


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

Back beat, 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 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

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Steve Acho's rendition of Wonderwall by Oasis seem to be about someone who deeply cares for another person. The first verse talks about how this day is the day that everything is going to come back to the person they care about- almost like fate is calling them together. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and a need for this person to realize how much they are cared for. The line "but I don't know how" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, expressing the difficulty in conveying such strong feelings.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that maybe this person they care for will be the one to save them. It's almost as if they view the person as their "wonderwall," a metaphorical shield that protects them from the harshness of life. The second verse repeats some of the same themes, with the added note that there are things they want to say but don't know how. The repetition of the chorus ending the song reinforces the idea that this person is their "wonderwall" and could potentially be the one to save them.


Line by Line Meaning

Today is gonna be the day
Today is the day that you will be confronted with the truth


That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow
At this point, you should have already realized

But I don't know how
But I am at a loss for words

You may be the individual who rescues me


And after all
Ultimately


You're my wonderwall
You are the person who provides me with support and protection


Today was gonna be the day
Today was the day that was supposed to bring change


But they'll never throw it back to you
However, you will not receive a chance to rectify the situation


By now you should've somehow
You should have already realized the necessary actions to take


Realized what you're not to do
You need to understand what not to do in order to fix the situation

You're gonna be the one that saves me
You have the capacity to rescue me


You're gonna be the one that saves me
You will be the individual who saves me
