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 think this song is about a difficult relationship of some sort, where one of them feels let down and misunderstood, and maybe takes a break from the other person, while hoping that that he/she after a while will understand and know what to do. Hoping, hoping, hoping, knowing that the way back to a good relationship is hard. Reminds me of my relationship whit my ex, and my relationship with my father.
I love this song.

This song is breathtaking i can listen to it over and over. Really look at the 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
....
So bascially it all comes down to now this one moment, and you really should have planned what you were going to do but you haven't and you just know that your the one person in the world who wants this person and their perfect for you, but just haven't realized it.
......
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
.....
this part to me means that that person knows you want them and need them and they want you too but they can't they've never had doubts about feelings like this, you always just go with love but what if you can't love that person, to me i see this song as two people, one who does drugs and one who doesn't, say this boy doesn't do drugs and this girl does stupid drugs a lot. And the boy wants to know her but has been hurt in the past and watched people go down the drain after using drugs and doesn't want to see that happen to someone again so he wants this girl but he can't because he doesn't want to be hurt that bad, and watch another loved one fall apart. But that girl is convinced that this boy can save her she'll give up everything for this boy completely sober up and change and all she needs is her wonderwall to save her but he just can't let himself be hurt, he won't take the chance. This boys feeling lost and confused but so is the girl, everything leads somewhere else,... all the roads are winding// all the lights are blinding. This is real love nothings cookie cutter its all chances with this relationship and the girl just wants to be saved and is in love with this boy who's too scared to save her.
l.....

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
.....
So you've realized that the boys not going to save you you should h ave realized no one will but you can't help but love this boy you need him you want him, you know he can save you he's perfect and nobody else feels the way you do, you need him bad. You want to tell him all these things your past whats led you to the point of no return but you can't because he won't take the chance on you, but all you need him is to be your rock, your support, your wonderwall.

i cannot begin to describe the emotional value this song has to me and i think you're all pathetic to be using the space below to argue whether the beatles or oasis are better. the two bands are legendary in their own ways but are from totally different eras, forget trying to compare them it is derogatory to each band.
i have lived this song, it ties in with love not running smoothly- all the roads are windind demonstrated hte stumbles and difficulties of love and a relationship. the writer is in love, it is clear. i think the lyric 'i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now' is incredibly beautiful.Relying on somebody to get over someone else or simply relying on someone to save you from the pain of not being loved.
love love love love this song

I think, to me, it sounds like he's singing to a close friend.This person, used to be a well like person by everyone. But they have done something really screwed up. Mabey got caught up in drugs. "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" But the person singing it doesnt by into the hype, because they still see the good on the inside . And through it all, the addict will still be the singers "wonderwall" when times get tough. Just my opinion.

I think it might but am pretty sure it's not about jail. Either him/her, him/him/ her/him, her/her are in love with each other but one goes to jail. The song explains how him/her says while others have forgoten about him/her but they are still faithfully waiting. But in the ending they don't come back. Maybe it's just metaphoricly.

Or it could be similar but in context to death. Wow, I just babled a lot. I love oasis but am not quite sure they live up to the beatles. They kinda have a huge ego to say that they are better than the beatles and are equal to the rolling stones. So there words make me think the oppisite.

great song but it's disappointing how so many other oasis classics are overlooked. Don't look back in anger, for instance, has roughly a 100 comments and it's quite possibly better than this song, as good as it is

I'd say this song is about really loving and needing someone, know matter how.

And I just don't care about what people say about Oasis, and even less about how many times this track was played on the radios. This is the best song I've ever heard, from the best album I've ever heard.

To me, it's about two people who like each other but, for some reason, they don't admit it. They try to figure out what the other person feels and they never can have a clear picture of this...

I think the line

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

means that we cant see the future and that there will always be problems.

I believe this song is about observing a 'crush' if you will that you may like, that isn't exactly the most liked person. They get a chance to prove themselves, but they've failed at it. It's open to much interpretation and is definitely one of the songs that probably has a million and one memories and therefore ideas associated with it.

That's the way I see it, but there can be millions of interpretations, the biggest problem is the term 'wonder wall' most likely, since it's not exactly a word you hear (AT ALL) or associate with anything. I believe it could also mean a solitary strong person in a similar setting as above. Perhaps even describing himself from a distance and switching between views. The video does not lend itself to helping with this. I've also yet to hear of any actual meaning from the band.

SO i'm not sure if this is true , but i heard this song is about an imaginary friend? imagine telling your signifcant other that [arguably] your most famous song that everyone thinks is about a girlfriend or wife or whatever , is actually about your childhood imaginary friend.
i thought that was strange , but insanely adorable.

Not sure why so much commentary is about Oasis Vs. The Beatles...anyway, one of the things that first struck me way back in 95 when I heard this song for the very first time was that it had a certain "Beatles-esque" quality to it...not mimicky, but evocative. And in a good way. It's one of those great, great songs where the lyrics are so vague, they could apply to just about situation, but there's something about it where even if you don't know exactly what it means, it hits you on some gut level. I've always kind of thought it was breaking up but still loving someone, and trying to figure out what happens next. At any rate, it's a really beautiful song and makes me nostaligic for those late 90's (and not many things do).

i think it's about his brother Noel, and them trying to figure out how to succeed with their music. they're brothers that are at odds most of the time but obviously love eachother, and Noel writes most of the music but has a tougher time expressing it than Liam.

"By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do // what you're not to do."

i think this is directed at Noel, and then the lines about winding roads and blinding lights are just figures of speech for the trials and tribulations of bringing a band together to portray your ideas.

it just doesn't seem apt that Liam is the type of soppy guy that would sing a tune about a girl -- i'm sure he has few issues getting laid. however, i'd also imagine that Noel and Liam are creative enough to keep most of their writing open for interpretation, as many artists do.

this song could just as easily be about a lover as it could a close friend or family member.

this song to me, describes the feelings of someone who has been heartbroken by someone they love, and wanting to say so many things to them, but being afraid to say them becasue maybe they are angry words, or maybe becasue they dont want to push them any further away becasue one day they might come back.

"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"

get me??

Well first, the question when you comment on this asks "What does this song mean to you?" I think that the person above me is right in saying that the whole Beatles argument has nothing to do with this and I couldn't find a single person's opinion on the song's meaning.

Anyway, I'm thinking maybe it's something about a guy who loves a girl, thinks life's tough, but thinks that she's the thing that'll get him through it.
Something like that... maybe...

What the heck?! This argument began on the first page! And it's STILL GOING ON! AH! I of course only read one comment on the first page and one on the last. They were both about how "Oasis is WAY better than the Beatles" and then some other guy's like "no way! The Beatles are the best band ever". I mean, there's like .0000001 percent of the people here that are actually talking about the song. That's like...point sumthin'. Well anyway, stop talking about The Beatles. Although...The Beatles are better than Oasis. I mean, c'mon.

this song is about loving someone in spite of their imperfections and your imperfections and recognising/hoping that though things might be hard at times it'll all be worth it because they mean that much to you.
it's so appropriate to my relationship right now.

I personally think this song is about the person you love who doesn't acknowlege that they love you. Something like the person who's afraid of commitment and doesn't want to tell you "yes," because they're afraid they'll miss something else that comes along. It's about the time when they realize that what they were waiting for isn't coming, or isn't what they wanted, and then they look at you and see that what they wanted was in front of them the whole time. "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now." That spells it out for me. Being that person who is there for them when all of their other "friends" have abandoned them, and being the person they know will be behind them to pick them up when they fall.
