We're On Our Way Now
Journey Through Life's Choices: Noel Gallagher's Reflection
Lyrics
Remember what might have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and what could have happened.
Had I walked you home and said, "I'll see you later"
Imagining a scenario where the speaker walked someone home but parted ways, expecting to meet again.
You were living the dream
The person was living a fulfilling life or pursuing their dreams.
But when the morning come, you'd gone to meet your maker
The morning after, the person has passed away ("gone to meet your maker").
Good luck in the afterlife
Wishing luck in the afterlife to the departed person.
I hear the morning sun doesn't cast no shadow
A reference to a famous Oasis song, suggesting a sense of disillusionment or loss.
You chose to drift away
The person chose to drift away, possibly from life or the speaker.
But look at you now
Despite drifting away, observing the current state of the person.
We're on our way now
Expressing a sense of progress or moving forward despite difficulties.
The truth can be so hard to swallow
Acknowledging that facing and accepting the truth can be challenging.
Hey now
An interjection, possibly signaling a shift in tone or focus.
'Cause you got the love, you got the love, lady
Acknowledging that the person had love, emphasizing a positive quality.
I'm worn out
Feeling exhausted or worn out, possibly from emotional strain.
'Cause with every little trick, they try to drag you down
Resisting attempts to bring one down with various tactics.
You don't know why
Uncertainty about the reasons behind challenges and struggles.
Stood on top of the world
Feeling triumphant and on top of the world.
And when the cold wind blow, you say the chill don't matter
Facing adversity, but claiming that the cold wind doesn't matter.
Having the time of your life
Experiencing the best moments in life.
But when you take those pills, does it make it better?
Raising questions about the effectiveness of coping mechanisms like pills.
Good luck in the afterlife
Wishing luck in the afterlife again, echoing a theme of mortality.
I hear the morning sun doesn't cast no shadow
Referencing the idea that success or happiness doesn't cast a lasting shadow.
You chose to drift away
Reiterating the person's choice to drift away.
But look at you now
