Angel Eyes
Allyson Karrin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Try to think that love's not around
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mispent

Mispent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes on me

Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Oh, where is my angel eyes

Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Angel Eyes by Allyson Karrin express the feelings of the singer towards their lost love, who they refer to as 'angel eyes'. The singer tries to convince themselves that love is not around, but they feel uncomfortable about the absence of their loved one. Despite their attempts to move on, they find it difficult because their heart longs for their angel eyes. The singer describes their loved one's eyes as unbearably bright and admitting that their love may be mispent.

The song's chorus talks about how the singer is willing to let themselves go and drown in their sorrows as they watch happy people enjoy themselves. The lines "Pardon me but I got to run" and "Excuse me while I disappear" suggest that the singer is running away from their feelings and trying to numb the pain caused by the absence of their loved one. The song's ending, where the singer repeatedly calls out for their 'angel eyes', shows that their love for their lost partner is still vibrant, even though they are not present.

Line by Line Meaning

I Try to think that love's not around
I try to convince myself that love is not present

But it's uncomfortably near
However, it is uncomfortably close

My old heart ain't gaining no ground
My heart is not making any progress

Because my angel eyes ain't here
Because the person I love is not here

Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
Angel eyes, a metaphorical phrase representing someone who is tempting or deceitful

They glow unbearably bright
They appear to be irresistibly charming and attractive

Need I say that my love's mispent
Is it not obvious that my love is wasted?

Mispent with angel eyes tonight
Wasted on the person I love, who is not present

So drink up all you people
Drink to your heart's content

Order anything you see
Order whatever you desire

Have fun you happy people
Enjoy your lives, those who are content
