Lyrics for Wonderwall as interpreted by kevin

Wonderwall Lyrics
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda 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 shoulda 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

I just realized that I didn't put anything about what I think the song means. I tend to subscribe to the belief that it is about romantic love and I'm going to play the role of the gushy girlfriend. My best friend and I have known each other for forever and have been friends almost as long, but I started to see him as something different, which could have really screwed us up, but it didn't. And both of us have had difficult times recently, and neither one of us are good at expressing ourselves, but he gave me this song to let me know that he knew there would be problems, but he was finally ready to face them together. He told me, "I'm not scared, and I'm not going to hide anymore". This song means so much to me, and I've only ever heard it once. I'm jump up and down deliriously happy, and no matter what anyone says, this song is a message of hope and new beginnings. at least it is for me. love is scary, but you know that you're walking the road with someone beside you the whole time.

I love this song. I just heard it for the first time. My best friend gave me the lyrics when he asked me to be his girlfriend. he's my wonderwall, and this song is perfect. Even so, no one is better than the beatles. Anyone who thinks they are better than the beatles has a personality problem.

this song is just ... amazing.
and, thankfully, the guitar part is really easy to play. I performed this song for my boyfriend one year, before we started dating, and he loved it. This song really is about someone who feels strongly about someone who just got their heart broken (the fire in your heart is out) and the guy knows he's never going to be able to be with her because of that (but they'll never throw it back to you). but, he still says that she is his wonderwall. beautiful song!

The song describes, to me, the feeling of someone has for another, who means so much to them, their wonderwall. However, the girl in this case has just been through with another relationship that ended sourly. So he tries...the guy is trying to tell her how much she means to him, but it only stays in his heart. He struggles with the expression of these emotions, and tries to drop clues as to how he feels. However, as he can only do so much, he has to wait and see fi she responds to him in the same and looks forward for hope.

Wow...this and champagne supernova are officially the greatest songs I have EVER heard.When it came out, my sister was in college and she loved this stuff and of course I didn't get it. When I started college last year I heard this one day and something just clicked...Such a powerful song....Who out there has NEVER had something to say to that one person and didn't know how.Every time I hear this I have to stop what I'm doing and just listen. It requires my attention.The lyrics really hit me when one day this summer my boyfriend and I were driving home from the gym and this came on the radio.It was just one of those perfect days and I looked at him and realized he's my very own wonderwall. Definitely one of those songs that can bring back a flood of memories. And theres just so much passion behind what he's saying...wish I could know what was in his head when he came up with it.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the song but there is a film called wonderwall about a guy who falls in love with his next door neighbour. However his next door neighbour doesn't know him let alone his feelings so he makes a hole in the wall so he can watch her in her house. (i don't know how it ends this is just the blurb i read).

I mention it because some of the lyrics fit with this:

"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now" he is truely in love with her, so much so he has to see her all the time.

"There are many things that I would like to say to you/But I don't know how" He thinks she doesn't even know who he is so how can he poor out his heart to her

"You're gonna be the one that saves me" He is trapped. He loves her so much but knows he can never be with her so he is trapped in this limbo; he can't date others coz he loves her too much, but he will never be with her.

Throughout the song it gives me the impression of there being something stopping him getting what he wants. He can see it but cannot touch it. i.e. he can see through the wall but can't get the other side of.

However the maybe makes it seem as if there may be a glimer of hope, something for him to change his thoughts perhaps. For example in the film she says hi to him and gradually they talk more and more often, giving him hope that maybe someday they could be at least friends.
Well this is my 2pence (for what it's worth) and although you may think it a load of bull, that is the way i am going to think of it, and why it is one of my three favourite songs of all time ever.

its to me about that one person you can't stop thinking about. maybe not the person who you want to have a relationship with at that point in time, but who, in the end you really care about the most.
the person you sit with and know what they're thinking about you and you know they feel the same, but still you have that thought of, 'there are many things that i would like to say to you, but i don't know how."

the person you could talk to for hours, but you can't seem to think of how to say what really matters. they confuse you because you love them so much, and that's where teh maybe comes in. and the maybe is also about how much risk it is to just let yourself love someone with all your heart when you're not sure, you can never be sure if t hey really ARE, "the one thats gonna save [you]" this is my song with a person, and i couldn't ask for anything else to say how i feel. (not to be wordy)

Elvis Sucks (how in the hell did we end up talking about elvis). Good and Bad music is very personal, who cares, but you have to accept the cultural significance of the beatles anyway. Without beatles no oasis whithout oasis no wonderwall which is such a great song but it get me tired when ppl only know this oasis song (only if you dont live in britain obviosly).

to speak on the Beatles, i noticed that Rolling Stone had the greatest cds in there a while back and S. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was in there as number 1, personally, i think the Beatles suck besides a few songs, there were tons of bands back then better, Elvis was better, Bob Dylan is better, The Rolling Stones were better, so many.....Oasis on the other hand are a pretty good band but obviously not to par with any of the greats.

Actually the beatles didn't create that style. Buddy Holly did. The only reason that they even called themselves the Beatles is because they wanted it to sound like the band that Holly had been in before (the Crickets). Not saying that the Beatles aren't great...they just weren't the first is all. :)

I've always wondered about this song, but had a very different interpretation than those I've read, though, ironically, related to the whole Beatles argument.

The Beatles are the singer's (i.e., Oasis') "Wonderwall" This song is being sung to the Beatles. The hint is in the name. George Harrison (the Beatle) had an album called Wonderwall Music with a song (instrumental) also called Wonderwall on it.

All that stuff about "throwing it back to you" and "the fire in your heart is out" then "never going to throw it back to you" etc., is saying how the Beatles were an important force that were a source of nostalgia (hence it was going to be thrown back to them), but that there time has passed (hence, they'll never throw it back). In essence, Oasis is claiming that they have taken the torch from the Beatles, while acknowledging their debt "your my wonderwall" and appreciation "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now." In other words, 25 years after the Beatles, only Oasis fully appreciates them (says Oasis). All that stuff about winding roads and blinding lights is about life in a rock band, fame, etc., that Oasis sees themselves sharing with the beatles. . .

This song isnt nesiceraly about a girlfriend...it's about someone you care for fucking things up but no matter how much they fuck up he still loves them...I originaly heard it was about Machester City football club when they were in a relagation battle..He's pissed off that they are doing crap but he's loved them all his life so wont ever stop...no matter what

I don't really understand what exactly "wonderwall" means. But the rest of the song is sooo beautiful! It's gotta be my favorite song. It's something you can listen to over and over again and never get sick of it. Also the whole oasis/beatles thing. Even if some people like Oasis's style better than the Beatles, that style would have never existed if it weren't for the Beatles. The Beatles created the style that everybody goes with now. Yeah, it's obviously changed and everyone has their variation, but the Beatles created it and without them Oasis wouldn't have their style. Still love them though!! Love the song!!

THis song is about a guy and a girl who broke up.The "Today is gonna be the day" means that she should have made things better betweeen the two of them. She says the love is gone but shes heard that before and it never meant anything. The "Wonderwall" in the song is the girl. She is the boys strength. And "today was gonna be the day but theyll never throw it back to you"means that she screwed things up and could have fixed them but now it is too late! AMAZING SONG MY FAVORITE AHHH

I was thinking that maybe "wonderwall" could be thought as a wall. Not a wall as in a boundary, but giving a sense of security. So wonderwall could be translated into a guardian for security for life in which one loves.

Also, what does the line "Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you" mean? It doesn't seem to make sense in the context of "you're my friend and i secretly love you" deal.

I think they wrote it as just many feelings that feel before during and after love put into one.

But i really dont no
