Angel Eyes
Yearning for Angelic Presence: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Anita O'Day's 'Angel Eyes'
Lyrics
Try to think that love's not around
Contemplating the absence of love
Still it's uncomfortably near
Despite trying to distance oneself, love feels close and uncomfortable
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
Personal emotions are stagnant, not progressing
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Attributing emotional stagnation to the absence of a loved one (angel eyes)
Angel eyes that old devil sent
Describing angel eyes as a captivating and possibly troublesome quality
They glow unbearably bright
Highlighting the intense and irresistible nature of angel eyes
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
Acknowledging that love has been spent or invested in a possibly misguided way
Mis-spent with angel eyes tonight
Admitting that love has been misused or wasted with angel eyes
So drink up, drink up all you people
Encouraging others to indulge and enjoy themselves with drinks
And order anything you see
Suggesting that people can choose any drink they desire
Have fun you happy people
Wishing happiness for the people present
The drink, and the laugh's, on me
Offering to cover the expenses for the drinks and laughter
Pardon me, but I gotta run
Expressing the need to leave or escape from the current situation
The fact's uncommonly clear
Emphasizing a clear and undeniable truth
I gotta find who's now number one
Expressing a desire to find out who has become the most important person
And why my angel eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the impact of the absence of angel eyes on emotions
I gotta find who's now the number one
Repeating the need to find the new most important person
And why my angel eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the impact of the absence of angel eyes
'scuse me while I disappear.
Expressing the intention to leave or withdraw from the situation
