Angelina
A Month of Somedays Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

didn't i meet you at a club before?
i thought you were naked but i couldn't tell for sure
your name's angelina, but i think i asked for more
if that's right, it's sabrina, i still couldn't tell for sure
because the music was too loud, and my ears were jumbled by the crowd
screaming out, out your name
everything is, every thing's the same

didn't i meet you at my register last night?
that's right. you were smiling, embarrassed, sort of helpless and a little shy
i said well thank you very much, and have a lot of fun tonight
you smiled and said something back, but i couldn't really tell because of buzzing lights
and because my music was too loud, my ears were jumbled by the crowd
screaming out, out my name
and everything is still the same as it was that night
the night that i thought, i thought you were naked
i thought you were naked, and i thought right

because the music was too loud, my ears were jumbled by the crowd
screaming out, out our names

and everything this is
i thought you were naked (sabrina)

Overall Meaning

The song "Angelina" by A Month of Somedays is a mesmerizing and mysterious track that comes loaded with inscrutable lyrics. The song revolves around the singer meeting someone named Angelina at a club before and later again at his register last night but couldn't recognize her properly due to the loud music and the bustling crowd. He is even unsure if it was Angelina or Sabrina. The singer reminisces about the first time he met Angelina and recounts how he thought she was naked due to the dim lighting at the club. He gets lost in his thoughts about her as the music gets louder and as the crowd becomes increasingly chaotic.

The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost in a sea of confusion and being unable to recognize someone whom you've met before. It shows how music and the turmoil of a public setting can blur one's senses and how misinterpretation can happen due to wrong assumptions. The lyrics are ironic in the sense that the singer keeps saying everything is still the same, even though he is unsure if he's meeting Angelina or Sabrina. It's a song that covers themes of love, attraction, confusion, and miscommunication.
