Angel Eyes
Yearning in Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Neil Sedaka'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
The speaker's heart is not making progress or finding solace
Because my Angel Eyes ain't here
The cause is the absence of the speaker's beloved, referred to as "Angel Eyes"
Angel Eyes that old devil sent
"Angel Eyes" is described as a captivating and troublesome figure
They glow unbearably bright
The intensity of the impact of "Angel Eyes" is emphasized
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
Acknowledging that the speaker's love for "Angel Eyes" has been wasted or not reciprocated
Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight
The speaker's love has been spent in vain, particularly during the current night
So drink up, drink up all you people
Encouraging others to enjoy themselves and indulge in drinks
And order anything you see
Inviting people to order anything they desire
Have fun you happy people
Wishing happiness for others
The drink, and the laugh's, on me
The speaker offers to cover the expenses for the drinks and laughter
Pardon me, but I gotta run
Expressing the need to leave abruptly
The fact's uncommonly clear
The situation is crystal clear to the speaker
I gotta find who's now number one
The speaker must find out who has become the new focus of attention and affection
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the absence of "Angel Eyes" and the impact on the speaker
I gotta find who's now the number one
Repeating the determination to find out who has taken the place of "Angel Eyes"
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
Reiterating the impact of "Angel Eyes" being absent
`Scuse me while I disappear.
Apologizing for leaving or withdrawing from the current situation
