Oasis - don't look back in anger

노래는 마음의 눈을 통해 새로운 가능성을 탐색하라는 메시지를 전하며, 화자는 자신의 감정과 과거를 정리하고 앞으로 나아가기로 결심한다
'Sally'는 지나간 일에 대해 후회하지 않고 삶을 살아가고 있으며, 이는 자신도 마찬가지임을 나타낸다
결국, 감정에 휘둘리지 말고 긍정적인 태도로 살아가라는 주제가 강조된다

Slip inside the eye
of your mind
Don't you know
you might find
A better place to play
You said that
you'd never been
But all the things
that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution
from my bed
'Cause you said the Brains
I had went to my head
Step outside
the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off
your face
You ain't ever gonna burn
my heart out

So Sally can wait
she knows it's too late
as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place
where you go
Where nobody knows
if it's night or day.
Please don't put your life
in the hands
Of a Rock 'n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start
the revolution
from my bed
'Cos you said the Brains
I had went to my head
Step outside cos
summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside
the fireplace
Take that look from
off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna
burn my heart out

So Sally can wait
she knows it's too late
as she's walking on by.
My soul slides away
but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait
she knows it's too late
as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

And So Sally can wait
she knows it's too late
and she's walking on by
My soul slides away
but don't look back in anger
don't look back in anger
I heard you say

At least not today.
