Oasis – Morning Glory

• 0
  My Interpretation:At first I thought this song could be about a girl who struggles with self image and cutting, mirror and razor blade. But now I think it's about how someone who's addicted to drugs can't see anything past it. And all of our dreams were taken by this addiction, or maybe they were never there in the first place.

  My Opinion:this song is actually about the psychedelic drug morning glory, hence the name morning glory

  General Comment:Ok...one thing that people are missing with this entire song is that Oasis probably MEANT TO HAVE A DOUBLE MEANING! I completley agree with the coke reference...between all your dreams are made (from being high), the mirrors and razor blades it makes sense. At the same time...it is also describing the otehr part of the addiction...coming to terms with yourself and fighting the addiction. "You need a little time to wake up...what's the story morning glory?" One...it can be about drugs and having trouble to wake up after a high, and the morning glorgy has so many drug references (name for a someone who was high and crashed/had to wake up, and the actual flower that is a drug like you are drugged up) and it also talks about sobering up and finding out what you should do with your life when you just want to stay in bed, not face the music and try to sleep (like a morning glroy will do and die after 1 day if they can't open)

    There are some songs, especially from oasis that you cannot quite understand, and, if it's that way, you can always just enjoy music. I adore this song from the first time i heard it. And, yes, it is about cocaine addiction, and realizing it, but there are also another meanings.. but, is it really matter if you love the song, and listening to it makes you feel great?

  General Comment:Battling to come out of an addicition (not necessiarily a drug) or a depression?
  
  Todays the day that all the world will see -
  This line really sums up the song to me, the whole process of coming out of this bad headspace is too show the fuckers who don't believe you can do it. Showing the whole world your a stronger / better person than your friends or family or girlfriend etc. think you are.
  
  Tomorrow never knows what it doesnt know too soon -
  The next day is never going to be what you expect, you could come out of the state of mind or go back.
  
  Need a little time to wake up -
  Recognizing whats going on, need some time to yourself / some peace of mind.
  
  Whats the story Morning Glory? -
  You've batteld those demons, time for a new start. Whats the next? Whats the story?!
  
  Thats my two cents about it. My favourite Oasis song ever I think, closely tied with Slide Away, Listen Up & Headshrinker

  General Comment:One song can have a thousand meanings, that's what makes them special.. they mean something different to everyone right? but well i actually agree with "lindseelewis" i think. The song is obviously about drugs but it might be about how you are "chained" to them and it's better to stop. It's true that Noel has been an addict, but it's also true that he has said before that eventhough he used them and he enjoyed every minute of it, if he could go back maybe he wouldn't do it because he knows that they are addictive and he doesn't like to depend on anything. He also says that he knows that drugs "at the end destroy" so i guess that he could be talking about leaving them.

  General Comment:Completely personifies the Oasis sound of the 90's. This song, I think doesnt really have a particular meaning but not all songs have to have a meaning. Not my favourite from the Morning Glory album but I still like it as I do with all Oasis songs.

  General Comment: I think that this song's a metaphor of drugs. Like, Morning Glory IS a drug. Since it has the word morning in it, Noel probably thought of a metaphor for drugs.
  
  I dunno. I'm probably just thinking stupid things. But from what I'm reading from everyone's thought of the song's meaning, I've realized it's about drugs, and Liam and Noel had actually been drug addicts.
  
  So anyways, anyone wanna correct me at that?

  General Comment:A Morning Glory is also a flower that last for one evening(usually) and then dies. Why can't the drugs be the guys "blooming"? The drugs get them through the day and then they wake up a new flower in the morning. "Today's the day that all the world will see
  Another sunny afternoon Walking to the sound of my favorite tune Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon" I take those lyrics as just going out into the world, not knowing what is going to happen.
