Omg you are talking about meaning of the songs but I’m working and can’t participate😭 Anyway if you have other thots about post them pls. That’s my favorite subject 🥵

👁️👁️ u have unleashed the insane person in me by saying this.

yk i was just thinking about how the death of you and me sounds like something that was written pre-oasis breakup, it's always been one of those songs that I've never been able to really get, but i've been thinking about if i had a gun a lot lately, which was written pre-oasis breakup, and that made me think, noel is a known lyrics hoarder. there's things on his solo albums that are pulled from demos that are 30 years old. so i think this was something he wrote pre-oasis breakup, but just like if i had a gun, as things were going to shit and he knew it.

the title is what tripped me up for so long i think, i always expected it to somehow be written about the experience post oasis, how their relationship had fallen apart n they split etc etc from a hindsight view where he was looking back on it. but the lyrics aren't really like that. they're definitely a little sad but they're not like that,

like immediately you have things that tip you off to it being pre-breakup. idk if i'm dumb or i've just become delusional enough to pull something out of nothing but "isn't it a pity that the sunshine is followed by the thunder, and thoughts of going under" = even when things are good, they fall apart again, every time. basically just how their relationship was so fucked up and unstable by that point, and it's getting harder and harder to keep going and not just quit.

"and is it any wonder why the sea is calling out to me" again i think this is about him leaving. is it any wonder with the way things are that the thoughts of leaving were seeming more and more appealing?

"i seem to spend my whole life running, from people who would be the death of you and me, cause i can feel the storm clouds sucking up my soul" k this is where it gets juicyyy imo! i believe this to be him saying that he's ignoring good advice from people he trusts to leave a situation that makes him miserable because he's too...idk! scared to leave! codependent! in love! i genuinely think he tried to hold onto it as long as he could stand it. i can definitely believe everyone around noel that he trusted at that point was probably telling him to get the fuck out of oasis. it was definitely something he planned in the end i think, so i think it was already being discussed with people. the "storm clouds" obv like the aforementioned thunder/horrible relationship with liam is sucking the life out of him, which is why he's running from those people to begin with. or maybe it's about how he feels the end of the band coming and wants to hold onto it as long as possible.

again a mention of "high tide" which i think symbolises either how he feels like he's stranded somewhere or drowning, basically stuck there, or it could mean oasis overall and how they were on their way to "going under".

"no one has the answer, i try to face the day now in a new way, the bottom of a bottle, cause every man's a puzzle" aghrGhrh HE IS DRINKING TO COPE WITH HOW BAD THINGS WERE, NOT BEING ABLE TO FIX THINGS, NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION sorry this line just always makes me want to start barking literally. alcoholism as a form of escapismmm to cope with the relationship between him and liam falling apart babyyy. also related unrelated but this reminds me of how liam said as soon as noel left oasis he went back to the hotel and got blackout drunk Immediately. they are so ....My God. anyways

like do i even gotta explain these ones 🤨 i do think it's incredibly fucking sad though lol. it ties in for me with the line in if i had a gun (if i had the time i'd stop the world and make you mine) about wanting to escape and be together somewhere away from everyone else. it really makes me wonder abt a few things. 4 example ☝️😐 i know liam has this idea, i think, that noel himself is not the bad one, but the people around him are, and are making him bad. if he could just get noel back and alone with him, he would be how he used to be and they would be fine.

ok put ur tinfoil gcest hats on: i kind of feel like noel also writes about something similar from time to time, like here. it's just not as dramatic, and it's more about everyone else/the judgement of the world instead of about them or liam specifically. not to sound like that one comment on the champagne superuglycunt vid, but clearly their relationship not the kind of thing you can just be open about. so i think it's kind of a wish of escapism and to remove the world's view or judgement from the equation, and then they could finally be happy.

obviously he has a family and a wife and he loves them, and i know he's happy with them, but he always wrote about being like Filled with Sin and keeping secrets, which came across to me like he was always terrified of judgement for that. like he literally wrote a song called lock all the doors i mean- (thinking abt the russell brand podcast ep where russell makes a joke about him sleeping with liam and you can hear him lose his marbles and panic until russell has to literally be like...plz calm down bro I haven't heard anything it was a joke. for all the little jokes he makes when he's in control of the situation and Above The Law, i think the idea of the world's judgement on that if it got away from him rightfully scares the shit out of him.)

ANYWAYS i think because of that unique situation where you will literally never be able to just be together, he's maybe wishing for some kind of fantasy world where they could just leave it all behind and it would be okay, no judgement, no more pressures. obviously that would fix nothing bc they're both still 2 traumatized insane guys but. yk. who am i to judge

"i'm watching my tv, or is it watching me?" besides being super fun to scream-sing i'm truthfully i'm not super sure about this line, maybe something to do with his level of fame in oasis, again mentioning trying to escape the public eye and judgement of the world? i dunno man still not sure about this one 🤔

"i see another new day dawning, it's rising over me, with my mortality" = the freedom of being solo that he clearly wanted, him feeling more and more like he couldn't do it anymore, and he wouldn't have forever to just make that choice for himself and do what was ultimately gonna make him happy!

anyway in conclusion i am fucked in the head

#i literally just like speak with no filter these posts probably read like actual nonsense sorry #it's probably so jumbled because you're seeing my like actual unfiltered thought process laid out in text #noel #oasis #long post
