The Masterplan Lyrics

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Sail them home with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud today
And then dance if you want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
We know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let us understand
We're all part of the masterplan
Say it loud and sing it proud today
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
Cos everything that's been has past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
We know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
We're all part of the masterplan

this song for me is bout consequence, happening, fate, existance, life, living, why, how, all of that, and denouncing it saying that its all part of a masterplan of which we can never understand and that all we know is that we dont know what is round the corner so we must live for the day, in true poetic style, carpe diem. this song is beautiful, to be honest. noels finest work

ohhh, its so good, i can see why noel branded it as one of his finest peices of work, and the lyrics are sound -There's four and twenty million doors On life's endless corridor - is the best for me, i like it.

if i could ever write a song by oasis it would be this one, its not just the lyrics, it's everything, and to see it live its unbelieveable.

I reckon the song itself is about the way we dont know whats gonna happen in life of how it's gonna turn out, we just have to let things be, love the good times and deal with the bad. It's like life is just up to us to do what we want dance if wanna dance or whatever, its up to us to make the best of things that come our way, so lets do that, hehe. The first few lines im not sure about but i think they mean that we should make our choices carfully about what we wanna say, and wen were sure then do it loud and proud.

anyway i went on a bit, i just wanted to say this songs great.

This song is amazing and Noels performance is making it even more amazing. I'll never forget this song gives the feeling of freedom an all other great words doesn't matter..

its about not knowing God's masterplan 'life on the other hand won't let u understand we're all part of the masterplan' so just live life like u want to.

This is the best song noel's written . . . so far.

Absolute Class!!

Just my take but it's a song about religion. The line that gives it away is:

"The answer's in the looking glass"

This is a reference to Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" and in it is a poem called the "The Walrus and the Carpenter" that is a metaphor for religion - Devil and Jesus. It's also the same poem that John Lennon based "I'm the Walrus" on, although he later said that he never realised the Walrus was the bad one and should have called it "I'm the Carpenter" - but I think he knew rightly.

Basically it's saying you can be good or bad - however being bad isn't wrong or against God - it's your choice, don't feel like you are controlled into thinking anything.

Other lines:

"You know they're gonna go Which way they wanna go"

"I'm not saying right is wrong It's up to us to make The best of all the things that come our way"

"The answer's in the looking glass"

This is a clever line and quite simply if you look into a looking glass eg a mirror you will see the answer looking back at you, the answer is you my friend eg life is only what you make of it, its not down to anyone else.

lolwtfmike u are talking out of your arse. explain 'dance if you want to dance' with regards to the Holocaust.
