Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone

May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm

'cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Get up (get up)
Come on (come on)
Why're you scared? (I'm not scared)
You'll never change
What's been and gone

'cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

'cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see us some day
Just take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out

    My Interpretation:I think this song is about death, or more suicide.
    "cause all of the stars, have faded away" to me that means like all your hope, all the good you see in life has gone.
    "take what you need and be on your way" means like take your pills, or gun or whatever have you and do what you feel you need to,
    "May your smile shine on" is like may people remember the good you left behind.

    Song Meaning:I heard this song when I first saw The Butterfly Effect when I was 12. I've had many friends in my childhood that I sometimes thought about like what they're doing now and where they are. Like my friend who just moved back into her old house after moving away like 10 years ago (she'll be leaving soon again), and my other friend who I haven't communicated and don't know her whereabouts to this day. This song and the movie reminds me of the year I met her. Even though our friendship was short-lived after I stopped coming to see her and found out she moved to who knows where just made me realize how valuable it was to share a bond with her after 10 months

    "'cause all of the stars
    Are fading away
    Just try not to worry
    You'll see them some day
    Take what you need
    And be on your way
    And stop crying your heart out"

    This part of the lyrics I'd say had predicted the return of my neighbor moving back in. I didn't think I'd ever see her again until I friended her on MySpace and did some catching up. Unfortunately I don't think I can say the same thing for my other one.

    To me the whole point of what the song is saying is that friends come and go.

    "You'll never change what's been and gone",
    even though you had good times but also bad times, you'll always have the memories together

    'We're all of us stars
    We're fading away
    Just try not to worry
    You'll see us some day'

    We may not see each other for a long time but sometime in the future, you will someday.

    My Interpretation:THIS SONG IS DEFINITELY DEDICATED TO OASIS FANS

    Oasis popularity has fallen away since Be Here Now album and after their founding member (guigsy and bonehead) left the band.

    It's a very difficult time for oasis to rise their popularity again at the time. they struggled to keep exist in music world and rise again as the best rock band in the world. A lot of fans worried about them. So oasis made this song to convinced all the fans that they will keep exist and vice versa, oasis made this song for themself! The don't need to worry because the fans won't left them!.

    "Hold up
    Hold on
    Don't be scared
    You'll never change what's been and gone"

    they ask all the fans to not to be scared. whatever things gone, (oasis popularity and memory) it will not make the fans changed. It's also the same for the next verse "May your smile (may your smile) shine on.." it means that they or the fans to keep smile whatever's going on.

    "'cause all of the stars
    Are fading away
    Just try not to worry
    You'll see them some day
    Take what you need
    And be on your way
    And stop crying your heart out"

    "the stars" (oasis) were fading away from popularity. "you'll see them someday" means Oasis will come back again as a most popular band!

    Mostly the songs listed in Heathen Chemistry album is about their motivation to keep exist in music. The album was about their evidence that they will stay popular in music world.

    You can see in "Little by Little" lyric:

    "We the people fight for our existence
    We don't claim to be perfect but we're free...."

    it's about their effort to keep exist!

    "True perfection has to be imperfect
    I know that that sounds foolish but it's true"

    it's about liam and noel (2 perfection) and so on!

    My Interpretation:I think this song relates a lot to Don't Look Back In Anger.
    Stop crying you heart out, is about letting your pass go, wonder the future and enjoying the present.
    Basically accepting any mistake you did in the past, because the past is the past and you cant change it( You'll never change whats been and gone). It gives hope and relieve by stating that things will get better along the way (Cause all of the stars are fading away, just try not to worry you'll see them someday) ...

    My Interpretation:to me this song is about moving on from somebody who has left you. the person who has left meant a lot to you but this song is about getting over this. if they really mean anything they will come back in time so you should not worry and move on in life. you will 'see them someday'. amazing song!

    General Comment:I think this song is quite clearly written for someone in a bad place.

    I often wonder that when Noel wrote the songs, was he thinking with Liam in mind and writing about him? And that when Liam sang them, he never realised they were about him and that he was singing about himself. It's so sad, really :(

    General Comment:If anything, I'd like to dedicate the song for Lionel Messi. The song sums up all I wish I could put myself to say. Beautiful lyrics, Gallagher.
