"he cast no shadow"

secret of this pic
Who knows wbat this song means (see some discussion here)? But it is intriguing theologically (Let's do it for church, and see what emerges)
The Oasis boys have long been running from/running to God, thanks to Bono, Phillp Yancey et al,
It's been suggested that this whole album is ultimately about/to Jesus (as the Wonderwall and "Champagne Supernova in the Sky,"  the "He" in every song,  etc) ...even if it is also about sex, drugs, rocknroll...

Note: On the "shadow" theme, see this and the video below with Rev. Kev:

"Cast No Shadow" by Oasis

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
(What's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can
(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
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)

As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
(What's in his hands)
He walks along the open
road of love and life
Surviving if he can
(But only 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
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)

As he faced the sun he cast no shadow..
