Champagne Supernova
Oasis攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cause we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cause we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high <-- 9 times, background "Oooh-oooh"
Overall Meaning
The lyrics of Champagne Supernova by Oasis are open to interpretation, but generally, the song is about the passage of time, life’s transience, and how two people, the singer and the listener, have remained the same, while everything else has changed. The first lines of the song ask how many special people change and how many lives are living strange, implying that growth and change are important, but also acknowledging that they can be confusing and uncomfortable.
The chorus talks about how someday they will be caught beneath a landslide in a champagne supernova, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for life’s unpredictability and the inevitable passage of time. The second verse starts with a reference to waking up the dawn and asking her why, perhaps questioning the purpose of life or the meaning of existence.
The song continues with the repetition of the question, “Where were you while we were getting high?” which can represent the moments in life that we miss or forget, and how those moments create a memory that may be foggy or unclear. The song ends with the repeated chorus, with an added line about how they don’t believe anyone can get away from the summer but that they, the singer and the listener, will never die.

Where were you while we were getting high?
What were you doing while we were indulging in recreational drugs?
Slowly walking down the hall
Walking down the hallway at a leisurely pace
Faster than a cannonball
Moving quickly, even faster than a cannonball
Someday you will find me
At some point in the future, you will discover me
Caught beneath the landslide
Trapped under a heavy and sudden flow of earth and rock
In a champagne supernova in the sky
In a spectacular and impressive explosion of sparkling wine in the firmament
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
Rouse the first light of day and question it about its purpose
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
An individual who dreams remains immortal, their visions continue to inspire and live on
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Remove your tear quickly before it rolls down your cheek
'Cause we don't believe that they're gonna get away from the summer
Because we do not think they will escape from the warm season
But you and I will never die
We will always have a presence even when we are gone
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
The Earth continues to rotate, and we are not certain of the reason
We were getting high <-- 9 times, background "Oooh-oooh"
We were getting intoxicated, emphasized with background vocals
