| Oasis – Who Feels Love? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Great song, reminds me of Within You Without You by The Beatles. SOTSOG really is a very underrated album, this, Sunday Morning Call and Gas Panic! are all awesome epic songs. | |

This song is the story of my life, I'm not sure if anyone has already done a similar interpretation but here goes. I met the most beautiful, amazing wonderful girl when I was about 16 and we got to know each other. Over about two years of talking late nights on the phone and at school, I realised that I was in love with her, but I never thought I deserved her. And she felt like she didn't deserve me, so she went and got a boyfriend. One day I got up the courage to tell her what she meant to me. She said that she'd always loved me and that she wanted to marry me, and that she'd never loved her boyfriend. And we talked about how in th near future we would be together and in love. But six days later she lost her virginity to him and told me that she hoped it didn't change our relationship. We talked and after a lot of fighting she told me that she still wanted to marry me but I would have to wait for her to be finished with her boyfriend. She admitted that what she did was selfish and a mistake but she didn't know any other way. Anyway, here's my interpretation: * See the stone set in your eyes > After she lost her virginity to this guy, I told her I couldn't look her in the eyes anymore for fear that she had lost her soul (I believe the eyes are the window to the soul). Being soulless, her eyes would be lifeless (stone set). * See the thorn twist in your side > I could tell from the things that she told me that as much as I hated the situation, she hated it more, because she hated herself for what she did (thorn twist in your side). * I wait for you > She was the only girl who I could ever truly love so I told her that I would wait for her no matter how long it took. * Sleight of hand and twist of fate > I always blamed fate for what happened, for I knew that I never thought that I deserved her and she never thought she deserved me (twist of fate). * On a bed of nails she makes me wait > As I said earlier I told her I would wait for her no matter how long it took, but this waiting game tore me to pieces, and I found myself as a depressed insomniac (bed of nails she makes me wait) * And I wait without you > Of course she couldn't be mine at the time so I waited without her. * Through the storm we reach the shore > Even through everything that was happening (the storm) I could still see an eventual happy ending (the shore). * You give it all but I want more > She was trying her hardest to deal with the situation but I still wanted more from her (and I think deservedly so). * And I'm waiting for you > And so I waited... * I can't live With or without you > I was mighty pissed off with the way that she had fucked me over (I can't live with you) but still I had to go back for more because the was the only girl I could ever love (I can't live without you). * And you give yourself away > The most important part, she was so beautiful but she never believed it when I told her so she felt the need for a momentary feeling of importantness, and she gave herself away to a guy she didn't love, she sold herself short. * My hands are tied > I had absolutely no control over the situation, the power was completely in her hands. * My body bruised, she's got me with > I relate to this part of the song in a strange (possibly very weird) way. While I loved her (even while thinking it was unrequited) I gave up masturbation seeing it as a way of cheating on her. When I found out she'd lost her virginity I wanked for the first time in two years (body bruised). * Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose > I had nothing to win because we could never be pure, but nothing left to lose either because everything we had had been destroyed. Six months later and she's still with him, and she says she still wants me, and so I wait... |

I know Noel wrote this for his wife but it is so easy to interpret this song in so many ways. Here's what it means to me: 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 - To me this is the singer talking to himself and the 'they' mentioned is the world, and the 'you' mentioned is himself. Ie. he has been a good person and he thought today was going to be the day the world was going to pay him back (ie. throw it back) with the love of his 'wonderwall'. However he is frustrated that he still hasn't realised what it is that he has to do to get the love of this person. 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 - The singer is still talking to himself, and is expressing that he is starting to doubt whether he will ever get what he wants (the love of his wonderwall). He's been through the situation so many times in his head (ie. heard it all before), but he's never really doubted that his wonderwall doesn't feel the same way. I Don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now - This time the singer is talking to his wonderwall, expressing his love in the strongest way possible by saying it is the greatest love anyone has ever experienced. 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 - The singer is arguing with his wonderwall who doesn't feel that their relationship would last. The singer acknowledges that there might be tough times ahead (ie. winding, blinding) but he just cannot express how he feels (ie. there are many things...). And how he feels is that no matter what happens, he would always stick by the side of his wonderwall, but she just can't see that he loves her that much. Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall - A final plead from the singer to the girl, saying that the only way he can possibly be saved from his internal hell is if his wonderwall would reciprocate his feelings. She is the cause of all his problems, but she is also the only solution to these problems. Wonderwall - The person who makes you feel safe, and you can look into her eyes in wonder and be astounded by the beauty of her soul. Finally, the song shows negative overtones as evidenced by the changing of the lyrics in the second verse (ie. 'but they'll never throw it back to you'). This means even after trying as hard as he can to express his feelings for his wonderwall, she will never be able to see the depth of his affection for her, and the world will never throw it (his love) back to him. In case you were wondering, I've listened to this song at least once a day for many years now, and this is my interpretation which has been influenced by personal experience. |

| This song is genius. I think it could be about the same girl that 'Crush' was written about. | |
