Oasis - Wonderwall - Lyric Analysis

Oasis - Wonderwall - Lyric Analysis:

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
you're gonna be the one that saves me
you're gonna be the one that saves me

Analysis:

The Lyrics overall signify it is a love song. This is because there are many words suggesting this. Overuse of the words such as ' You're, I, me, my' suggests sense of belonging and wanting to be together with someone. Also, use of the word 'heart' is a massive clue to it being a love song due to it having a close relationship to the romance topic. 
It also implies Barthes code.  Enigma is the clues given in within the song. Within Wonderwall the message is that Noel Gallagher (songwriter) is in love with someone. Action is the suspense of finding out who the person he's in love with. The action part links to the symbolic section. This is because fans would try to create theories and work out who he is speaking about. This was discovered to be a song about his now ex-wife. The symbolic is the fact he says 'There are many things that I, would like to say to you but I don't know how'. This shows binary postilion as he loves her but is scared to tell her. This basically him saying he's having a battle to get the courage to speak to her about his true feelings. 

Overall, this is useful to my research into my final product as i now understand the true meaning to the song. The vibe of song has made me want to help display he songs meanings of love within the music video to suit it. Using typical stereotypes and conventions of the genre this can be doesn't to a good standard.
