Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As faced the sun he cast no shadow
Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As faced the sun he cast no shadow
As faced the sun he cast no shadow
As faced the sun he cast no shadow
Explication des paroles
« Cast No Shadow » est une chanson du groupe britannique Oasis, tirée de leur album « (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? » sorti en 1995. Les paroles de la chanson ont été écrites par Noel Gallagher et s’inspirent en partie de la relation entre Liam Gallagher et sa compagne de l’époque, Patsy Kensit.
La chanson parle du fait d’être une source d’inspiration pour quelqu’un, mais de ne pas obtenir de reconnaissance en retour. Elle évoque également le sentiment de solitude et d’incompréhension malgré le soutien apporté.
Une anecdote intéressante à propos de cette chanson est que Noel Gallagher a déclaré qu’il s’était inspiré de la chanson « Imagine » de John Lennon pour l’écrire. Il a également dit que c’était l’une de ses chansons préférées de l’album.
« Cast No Shadow » est souvent considérée comme l’une des chansons les plus émouvantes et profondes d’Oasis, avec des paroles poétiques et une mélodie envoûtante. Elle a marqué de nombreux fans du groupe et est souvent appréciée pour sa sincérité et sa mélancolie.
