Angels
Embracing Hope: Unveiling the Depths of 'Angels' by Joshua Radin
Lyrics
It's been a long time that I've been on my own, and I can't take no more
Expresses a long period of solitude and a desire for change.
But these winds are changin'
Anticipates a shift or transformation in the narrator's life.
They'll blow me through the storm until I see the shore
Facing challenges (storm) with hope of reaching a more stable situation (shore).
And I'm prayin' for someone to show me I'm not done
Requests support and guidance to realize there's more to accomplish.
Sometimes I see your face
Recollections of someone significant; their impact is lasting.
You've got everything I need
Describes the person as having qualities essential for the narrator.
When I'm lost, it's only you I seek
In times of confusion, the person is the guiding focus.
You've got wings to set me free

When I doubt, you're makin' me believe

Suggests the person, though admirable, is not invincible or without challenges.
And I'll cross the ocean
Expresses determination to overcome obstacles, no matter the distance.

Indicates a willingness to endure hardships in the pursuit of a goal.
I'll find those hills to climb
Continues the theme of overcoming challenges, seeking higher ground.
And I'll keep on searchin' 'cause I know you want to land

Into these arms of mine
Expresses a desire for emotional closeness and reassurance.
On this road that I'm walkin', I hear you talkin'
Acknowledges hearing guidance or inspiration while on the journey.

Confident in finding the person being sought in the near future.
