Angeline
Dreaming of Angeline: Love, Longing, and Tequila
Lyrics
You were never what you seemed, but I seen it a dream
You appeared differently from what you truly were, but I perceived it as a dream.
But I guess you're on my mind I'm a dreamer Angeline
Despite the deception, thoughts of you linger in my mind, Angeline.
You got to know for what's it's worth, I loved you like the sun loves the earth
You must understand the value of my love; I loved you intensely, akin to the sun's love for the earth.
I believed it when you said I will love you til I'm dead
I believed your promise that you would love me until death.
I said I wasn't gonna miss ya
Despite my initial decision not to miss you, I find myself missing you.
I made a promise to myself
I made a commitment to myself, but it seems challenging to keep.
But I been feeling so empty
Feelings of emptiness overwhelm me.
When I'm with anybody else
I feel incomplete when I'm with someone else.
I'm in the mood to drink tequila, take me to the taqueria
Expressing a desire for a carefree moment, possibly with the influence of tequila at a taqueria.
Liquor makes me cry when I shoot it in the eye
Liquor induces emotional reactions, even making me cry when consumed.
Got a letter that I read every night before I sleep
A nightly ritual of reading a letter, perhaps a source of comfort before sleep.
I was never yours only mine yours forever Angeline
Clarifying that the speaker was never entirely yours but belonged to themselves, yet expressing commitment to Angeline.
I said I wasn't gonna miss ya
Reiterating the struggle not to miss Angeline despite the promise made.
I made a promise to myself
Restating the commitment made to oneself.
But I been feeling so empty
Continuing to grapple with feelings of emptiness.
When I'm with anybody else
Experiencing a sense of incompleteness with others.
Angelina I'm a dreamer and I need ya
Addressing Angeline as a dreamer, expressing a need for her presence.
And I'll scream it till the edge of the world
Emphasizing the declaration of this need to the world.
I said I wasn't gonna miss ya
Reiterating the struggle not to miss Angeline, possibly despite smoking a last cigarette together.
As we smoked our last cigarette
Reflecting on shared moments, possibly a poignant one like smoking a last cigarette.
But I been feeling so empty
Continuing to grapple with feelings of emptiness.
When I'm with anybody else
Experiencing a sense of incompleteness with others.
