- Listen Up Lyrics / with translationsListen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say
One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
[Repeat from top]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say
One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
[Repeat from top]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own
Facts about Listen Up
✔️

✔️
When we take a closer look to the meaning, Oasis's 'Listen Up' is a song that embodies a feeling of freedom and being one's own master; the performer says he is ready to be alone and play by his own rules that may not necessarily be the societal ones. The message of the song is more or less the same as the expression of individuality and being happy with one's own company even when one has to go through difficulties and there is no belief in magic or other forces that can help. The lyrics of 'Listen Up' still put the stress on solitude, reflection, social commentary, empowerment and angst. Although, the song in the same breath insists upon self-empowerment, isolation and independence and at the same time expresses frustration with societal constraints. There is a vivid depiction of personal struggle and self-reflection in the lyrics, which might be somewhat too intense for young ones and thus, require parental guidance. The expressing of a 'man in a suit' making you 'pay for your thoughts' is not pointing directly at violence, sex, or drug use but is rather a sign of a mature theme that might not go well with very young kids.
