Oasis – Champagne Supernova Lyrics

Pop

How many special people change?
How many lives are livin' strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walkin' 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 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 walkin' 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 people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinnin' 'round, we don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change?
How many lives are livin' strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walkin' 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 people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinnin' 'round, we don't know why
Why, why, why, why
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na
Na, na
Na, na, na
How many special people change?
How many lives are livin' strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

About This Song

"Champagne Supernova" is a sprawling, psychedelic anthem that captures the hazy confusion and existential questioning of youth, with Noel Gallagher's abstract lyrics pondering change, alienation, and the search for meaning through surreal imagery. The song's themes revolve around feeling lost and disconnected ("Where were you while we were getting high?") while yearning for transcendence, with the titular "champagne supernova" representing an explosive moment of clarity or escape that remains tantalizingly out of reach. Musically, it builds from gentle acoustic beginnings to a wall of layered guitars and orchestral arrangements, creating an epic, dreamlike soundscape that perfectly matches its philosophical ambiguity. The track stands as one of Oasis's most ambitious and enduring works, embodying the band's ability to transform simple emotions into grandiose, anthemic statements that resonated with a generation seeking both hedonistic escape and deeper purpose.
