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'm sure there's a lot of interpretations like mine already, but I'ma go for it anyways. :)

I think it's basically about someone you love a lot (a friend, family member, or anyone really). They meant so much to you, but now they're slipping downwards and becoming a crappy person.. in your eyes at least. You want to tell the person how mad you are at him or her, but it seems that every time you talk to them, you can't bring yourself to be mean even though they might treat you like shizzy nizzy sometimes, because you know that you need them.

wordsarelife, that's sweet, or bittersweet lolz... but yeah, this song is rich, one of my favorites by oasis. when he sings 'i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now' it's so full of emotion- i love it.

this song is really special to me because its the song between me and my first love.
i think it just sums up everything that was involved in that relationship.
We were so young and that line;
"there are many things that i would like to say to you but i dont know how"
is the TRUEST line of any song i've ever heard.
i was 16 at the time and youre feeling these things that you cant seem to articulate and they scare you because you dont know yourself.
and because we were young and just crazy out of our minds we fought because we couldnt say what we needed to say.
but as much as we fought there was still that crazy crazy love between us that brought us together
"maybe youre gonna be the one that saves me"
and anyone who had a teenage rollercoaster love knows that that's JUST how it is!
i'm still great friends with the guy and i've had a lot of relationships since but none come close to how amazing that first love was.
wonderwall is my favourite song ever and my most played by far.
i think it's just about love and everything that love is.
not to be a hopeless romantic or anything.

My interpretation is at the bottom, you can skip the story if you want. :]

My boyfriend and I met when we were both struggling alot with personal issues. I was extremely depressed and it showed in everything I did. Even when I thought I was happy people would ask me why I was so depressed. I had been diagnosed with PMDD and general anxiety disorder. My boyfriend is bipolar and has always struggled emotionally. He was out on bond for being charged with a felony when we met, and had a drug and alcohol problem. Then we got into a car crash where the car flipped and we're VERY lucky to have not been injured let alone lived through it. He was then charged with DUI and was put in jail. (where he has been for 6 months now for breaking the bond) Since I'm still a minor (I'm 16, he's 18), the cops had to call my parents and tell them what happened so they flipped and tried to press charges (luckily they fell through.) I was then forbidden to see him, so I tried to forget him and just couldn't, my love just grew stronger each day we were apart. We had such a connection. So I wrote to him, and he wrote back, and we're still together. My parents have found out we've been talking, and they disapprove because they think we'll drag one another down because of our pasts.(We really do the opposite!!) But, we've saved eachother! And afterall, he's my wonderwall. . . :]

here's my interpretation:
-"I dont believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now"
(people say he's a psycho criminal, but all I see is beauty. Yeah, he has faults, but we all do, and he's beautiful in every way to me.)

-"and all the roads we have to walk are winding. . .and all the lights that light the way are blinding"

(It'll be hard because we wont have support of many people, and not many people endeavor in sustaining such a relationship, but we're doing it because we love one another)

-"there are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how"
(we could never fully put into words how we feel for eachother. you cant translate the heart)

-"Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me and afterall you're my wonderwall"
(despite societal, family, and many other opinions, our love will save us-and it truly has!!!)

-"all the roads that lead to you were winding,and all the lights that light the way are blinding"
(it seemed we'd never find our soulmate, but we did!!)

I always thought it was about a failed relationship and even after the fact he can't get over her. He is down miserable and shes the only one that can save him from himself.

"Backbeat 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've never really had a doubt..

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now"

Pure attitude, pure character, pure swagger, pure love, pure brilliance.

I'm currently in a kind of tough situation... and I've been having some issues lately.. But there's a guy I've met a few times and he just amazes me. He has a girlfriend but somehow I felt a connection. It's like he has the power to save me when I'm almost drowning... but I can only hope something is going to happen, cause it's a pretty hopeless case I'm afraid. (The roads are winding, the lights are blinding -> meaning there are obstacles along the way that always interfere whenever the singer feels he's getting somewhere)

'& I don't believe that anybody, feels the way I do about you now.' Marvellous.

This song reminds me of person(s) that I really love but cannot tell them because it is not always appropriate! Can somebody tell me what 'Wonderwall' means?

I didn't read all of the messages but did anyone take into consideration the verses that talk about something "being thrown back to you"...idk what that means but he repeats it twice so it has to mean something...i'm thinking this is sorda a romeo juliet sorda thing where they really aren't supposed to be together and they are getting alot of crap for it...but they can still depend on each other...

oh and by the way...who ever said that oasis was better than the beatles...wtf are you on...and how can i contact your dealer...cause i would like to acheive your distorted way of thinking...

Wonderwall was a film released in 1968 and George Harrison wrote the soundtrack for it. The album was called Wonderwall music. Noel was writing a song about an imaginary friend who is going to save you from yourself.

It was originally called 'Wishing stone' but Noel wasnt happy with it so he took the name Wonderwall from the George Harrison soundtrack. So its about support and I suppose the 'wonder' links in with the imaginative friend.

after watching the videoclip of this song i realized that this song is not refering to "YOU are my wonderwall"
its refering to "I' AM my wonderwall"
because at the beginning of the video theres a part that liam is singing to a mirror: "Today is gonna be the day that they gonna trow it back to you" meaning that he is refering not to someone but to himself. watch the video

This was written as a tribute to George Harrison and not *ultimately* the Beatles.
