Wonderwall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will be flying yes I wanna fly, I will
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
I will flyiyiyi..I will
I wanna fly I will
I wanna fly I will
Flying yes I wanna fly
You would give me your name and
You would give me your home
You would give me your mother
Red shoes and love
You would give me a car
Pure silk and velvet
You would give all you have
But that's nothing I want
Cause I want
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly, I will
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly
A big cup of coffee
With milk and no sugar
The radio on and maybe
Tomatoes on the bread
Time for dinner
And to go to the bathroom
A little bit silence
And the day is perfect
You think I need perfume
And stylish clothes everyday
Parties and shopping
No that's not my way
I like to go out
Feel the wind in my hair
Open my umbrella
And fly away
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
I will flyiyiyi..I will
I wanna fly I will
Flyyiyiy I will
I wanna fly I will
Flying yes I wanna fly
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly, I will
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly
They think they know you
And they write your story
They know all about you
But nothing, in fact
They even don't know
If you wear your own shoes
Or the little girl in your head
Oh they know nothing of you
So better...
De de de de de ..
If they make a bad weather
You should wear the right shoes
Oh yeah de de de de..
So better...
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly, I will
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
Will be flying yes I wanna fly
In "Flying," Wonderwall sings about wanting to escape reality and fly away. Flying represents freedom and a way to escape from the demands and expectations of society. The song suggests that people often try to impress others by giving material possessions and superficial things, but the singer doesn't need any of it to be happy. The song also touches on the theme of being misunderstood, as people often judge and assume things about others without really knowing them.
The opening verse repeats the phrase "Flying over and I don't wanna lie" twice, emphasizing the singer's desire to fly away and escape reality. The chorus echoes this sentiment, with the singer repeatedly saying "Will be flying yes I wanna fly" and expressing a strong desire to fly.
In the second verse, the singer describes how others try to impress or give things to them, such as a car, silk and velvet, and even their own mother, but they don't need any of it. The singer is content with simple things, like a cup of coffee with milk and no sugar, and enjoying the little moments that make the day perfect.
The bridge of the song talks about how people often assume they know everything about someone, but in reality, they don't even know if the person wears their own shoes or has a little girl in their head. The song suggests that it's better to focus on oneself and what truly makes them happy, rather than worrying about what others think.
Overall, "Flying" is a song about the desire to escape from societal pressure and find true happiness by embracing simplicity and freedom.
Line by Line Meaning
Flying over and I don't wanna lie
I am taking flight and being truthful about my intentions
Will be flying yes I wanna fly, I will
I will take flight as I desire
You would give me your name and
You offer me your identity
You would give me your home
You offer me your place of shelter
You would give me your mother
You offer me your dearest loved ones
Red shoes and love
You offer me material possessions and affection
You would give me a car
You offer me transportation
Pure silk and velvet
You offer me luxurious fabrics
You would give all you have
You offer me all of your possessions
But that's nothing I want
But your offerings are not what I desire
A big cup of coffee
I desire a large serving of coffee
With milk and no sugar
I prefer the coffee to have milk but no sugar
The radio on and maybe
I enjoy listening to music while I enjoy my coffee
Tomatoes on the bread
I would like some tomatoes on my bread
Time for dinner
It is the appropriate time for me to have dinner
And to go to the bathroom
I need to relieve myself
A little bit silence
I desire some quiet time
And the day is perfect
When these things are met, the day is complete
You think I need perfume
You believe that I require expensive fragrance
And stylish clothes everyday
You believe that I should dress fashionably every day
Parties and shopping
You believe that I should attend social gatherings and make impulsive buys
No that's not my way
However, that is not my preferred lifestyle
I like to go out
I enjoy leaving the house
Feel the wind in my hair
I derive pleasure from wind flowing through my hair
Open my umbrella
I will open my umbrella
And fly away
This action symbolizes my liberation
They think they know you
Others believe they understand you
And they write your story
They create their own narrative for you
They know all about you
They believe themselves knowledgeable about you
But nothing, in fact
In reality, they do not know anything about me
They even don't know
They are not even aware
If you wear your own shoes
Whether I am wearing my own shoes or not
Or the little girl in your head
They are unaware of my inner child
Oh they know nothing of you
Their understanding is incomplete
So better...
Therefore...
De de de de de ..
A vocalization with no meaning
If they make a bad weather
If they create an unfavorable atmosphere
You should wear the right shoes
I should be equipped to face the situation at hand
Oh yeah de de de de..
Another meaningless vocalization
