Angel
Love's Resilience: Embracing Dreams and Longing in Robby Valentine's 'Angel'
Lyrics
I was a stranger to myself
I felt disconnected from my true self.
I lost my grip but I could not tell
I lost control of a situation but couldn't recognize it.
I couldn't live for a love
I couldn't find meaning or purpose in life without love.
A love so unreal
Love seemed distant and unreal.
An open door as the time will tell
Opportunities presented themselves, and time will reveal their significance.
Won't ask for more - only make me well
I won't ask for more in life, just to be well.
Just wanna live this dream
Desire to live a dream to heal emotional wounds.
So the wound can heal
Living the dream is a remedy for emotional pain.
Then all at once I had you on the line
Suddenly, the person was on the line, and realization dawned slowly.
I hardly realised
The narrator didn't fully comprehend the situation initially.
After a while we shared a feeling so fine
Over time, a deep and positive connection developed.
I'll never forget that night
A memorable night is etched in memory.
Angel - angel - see me down on my knees
The narrator implores an angel, expressing vulnerability.
Beg my way through my tears
Pleading and seeking solace through tears.
Angel - angel - I love you
Professing love to the angel.
Feel so alone while you're far away
Feeling lonely when the angel is distant.
I say a prayer - hope our love will stay
Praying for the love to endure.
Don't wanna lose you girl
Fearing the loss of the person and expressing need.
I need you right here
Yearning for the person to be present.
I close my eyes and I think of you
Imagining and reminiscing about the person with closed eyes.
Longing for you like I always do
Longing for the person, a familiar feeling.
Oh how I miss you so
Expressing intense feelings of missing the person.
Why can't you be near
Questioning why the person is not nearby.
Like in my dreams we held each other tight
Recalling dreams of being close, but now separated.
But now you're out of sight
The person is no longer in sight.
I never knew someone like you before
Expressing uniqueness and impact of the person.
I'll never forget that night
Revisiting a memorable night with the person.
[chorus]
[Chorus]
Why do you still feel so unsure
Expressing uncertainty and insecurity in the relationship.
You just can't go on
Feeling unable to continue without resolution.
At night I lie awake
Insomnia due to unresolved emotions.
But whatever it takes - I will wait
Commitment to wait for resolution regardless of challenges.
Angel - angel - see me down on my knees
Repetition of the plea to the angel in a vulnerable position.
Beg my way through my tears
Continued pleading and tears.
Angel - angel - I want to be with you
Expressing a strong desire to be with the angel.
Nothing else I wanna do
Declaring a singular focus on being with the angel.
Angel - angel - see me down on my knees
Repeating the plea and expressing desperation.
Babe I'm begging you please
Begging for the angel's presence.
Angel - angel - I love you
Reiterating love for the angel.
