Send Me an Angel
Yearning for Love: Unveiling the Depths of 'Send Me an Angel' Meaning
Lyrics
Do you believe in heaven above
Questioning belief in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Questioning belief in love
Don't tell me a lie
Asking not to be deceived
Don't be false or untrue
Requesting honesty and authenticity
It all comes back to you
Implying consequences and accountability
Open fire on my burning heart
Describing emotional vulnerability
I've never been lucky in love
Expressing past romantic difficulties
My defences are down
Feeling defenseless or unprotected
A kiss or a frown
Referring to mixed signals received
I can't survive on my own
Expressing inability to cope alone
If a girl walks in
Describing potential romantic interest
And carves her name in my heart
Symbolizing emotional attachment
I'll turn and run away
Fearing emotional involvement and commitment
Everyday we've all been led astray
Noting a sense of collective misguidedness
It's hard to be lucky in love
Highlighting challenges in finding love
It gets in your eyes
Love's impact causing tears
It's making you cry
Emphasizing emotional distress caused by love
Don't know what to do
Expressing confusion or uncertainty
Don't know what to do
Reiterating confusion or uncertainty
Looking for love
Seeking love
Calling heaven above
Asking for divine intervention in love
Send me an angel
Repetition of plea for an angelic intervention in love
Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
-Send me an angel
-Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
-Empty dreams can only disappoint
Disappointment from unfulfilled dreams
In a room behind your smile
Hidden struggles behind a cheerful facade
But don't give up, don't give up
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges
You can be lucky in love
Hope for success in love despite setbacks
It gets in your eyes
Reiteration of emotional distress and seeking love
It's making you cry
-Don't know what to do
-Don't know what to do
-Looking for love
-Calling heaven above
-Send me an angel
Continued plea for an angelic intervention in love
Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
-Send me an angel
-Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
-It gets in your eyes
-It's making you cry
-Don't know what to do
-Don't know what to do
-Send me an angel
-Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
-Send me an angel
-Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
-Send me an angel
-Right now
-Right now
Reiteration of the immediate need for an angel
