Analysis of Song Lyrics

D'yer wanna be a spaceman - Oasis

I haven't seen your face round
Since I was Kid
Your bringing back those memories
Of the thing that we did
You're hanging round and climbing trees
Pretending to fly
D'yer wanna be a spaceman and live in the sky

You got how many bills to pay
And how many kids
And you forgot
About the things that we did
The town where we're living
Has made you a man
And all of your dreams
Are washed in the sand

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.

It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want gold
Allthe dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.

It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want gold Dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town

The lyrics to 'D'yer wanna be a spaceman' written by Noel Gallagher are according to 'fergal 41' of songmeanings.net

"this very underrated track is, seemingly, about dreams changing as you grow older and mellow, or rather the dreams getting beaten out of you by the humdrum harsheties of everyday life, similar sentiment to "fade away" really but with a slight amount more optimism and lack or caring, for example : if you wanna be a spaceman its still not too late."

Personally I will aim to tap into the spaceman element of the song as much as possible as it could be highly iconographic to use all things connoting space, and its travel to represent my fictional band/the song.
