As an Oasis fan of 15 years it doesn't take much scratching at the surface to see this is written as a dig (or brotherly advice to Noel)
"Sleepwalk away the life
If that turns you on
Its only a moment
Look away and its gone"
This reflects the fact that Liam feels that Noel has thrown away something special, it is also reflective of Liam's view that Noel has turned into a bore who (from Liams point of view) would prefer to be at home "picking his pissing toe nails" rather than living life.
"Its about time
That your mind took a holiday
Youre all grown up
Dont you ever wanna play?"
Again reflective of Liams view that Noel has turned into a middle aged bore.
"Youve had enough
Staring out of dead end eyes
Its gonna be tough
The battles on and your soul is the prize"
He's saying that you are worn out. The "eyes" are a shortcut to the "soul" which is lost and empty in Liams opinion.
"I dont know what it is Im feeling
A four letter word really gets my meaning
Nothing ever lasts forever"
Noel made a few jibes about Liam intellegence and his vocabulary throughout the years - this is Liams way of saying that he can say what he needs to in a four letter rant at Noel. He also refers to his relationship with Noel whan he says Nothing ever lasts forever.
"Get on your feeling
Going out of your mind
The wheel needs to roll
The clock on the wall says its time"
He is saying that Noel felt that the time was up for Oasis, that he was out of his mind but that he needed to go because that's how he felt.
"Call it love
Call it whatever you please
Its not what you want
It be might just what you need"
He is talking about tough brotherly love here - basically "you dont want to hear this brother but you need to and I'm gonna tell you"
"Youve had enough
It feels like youve blown
A 50amp fuse"
Noel had emough and walked out. A 50amp fuse is a big fuse. He's basically saying that he watched his brother blow a fuse and walk out on the band.
"Its gonna be tough
The more you have
The more you can loose"
Straight forward really - you have walked out on the most important band in the world and we've lost something massive.
That's my take on it but I'd lay my house on ot that I'm right.
There will be loads of songs that people will say are about the split but that is over analysing.
To me this is the one about the split, Liam will say it here and it wont be toched on again in the songwriting.
For me this is their Rock N' Roll Star only more angry. The walz chords are like RNRS. RNRS was the opener for Oasis back in the start and 4LW is the opener for Beady Eye so for me there are a few parrallels.
Cracker song - looking forward to hearing it live in a few weeks time.
