Wonderwall Lyrics Analysis

The Lyrics of the song ultimately signify that it is a love song. There are many words, which are repetitively used which therefore create this idea. Words such as ‘You’re’, ‘I’, ‘me’ and ‘my’ suggest a sense of belonging. Also, use of the word 'heart' is another reference to love. The overuse of these different words creates a link to romance.

It also integrates the use of Barthes’ code. We know this as enigma is created through the different clues which are given within the song. Within Wonderwall the message portrayed is that Noel Gallagher is in love with someone but has not shown his passion for her yet. We can suggest that the semantic code is used at 1:37 as there is an additional space next to Noel on the row of seats. We can imply as an audience that the additional meaning is his hope for the girl to come and fill the seat next to him. Moreover, we can suggest that the symbolic code is the use of the mirror as it could be used as a symbol in hope that the girl will be there in his reflection.


Action is the suspense of finding out who the person he is in love with. This therefore links to the symbolic section because fans will therefore try to create theories and work out who the lyrics are aimed at. The symbol created is the fact he says 'There are many things that I, would like to say to you but I don't know how'. This short quote is a use of binary postilion as he loves the woman but is scared to tell her. This creates the idea that he is nervous to tell her his true initial feelings and is trying to tell her through the lyrics of the song.
