An Angle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the day, a new month
a new year for a new president
but there's a old war in Africa
Mom's burst out in AIDS epidemic
and at 7 o'clock my friend, he weeps to work
he lost his lover to a bar around the drinks
so we all kinda spin, like a carousel
in one hand you got a water to fight off
and in the other hand you have an alcohol
so cmon god, well what you got?
I wanna give ourselves another chance
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOVE
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOVE, ANYMORE(x2)
And i used to know a rising tide
you were a weight in the body of life
and 10 feet tall, you would block the sun
cmon green water, kill this heart.
and we would ride off on a white horse
and when we'd come down we'd have another life
cuz there's no reason to have a constant point
im not gonna go from A to B anymore
If i wanna live a better life
i've gotta give these eyes a sight to see
so come on guys well what you got?
I wanna give our hearts another beat.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOVE
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOVE, ANYMORE(x2)
There is No..(x3)
to wanna live...
a better life
i gotta give these eyes a sight to see..
The lyrics of An Angle's song "True Love" encapsulate the chaos and despair of modern society. The song starts with a description of a new day, but it quickly becomes clear that the world is far from perfect. The singer mentions an ongoing war in Africa, the AIDS epidemic, and the loss of a friend's lover to alcohol. The sense of confusion and disorientation is captured in the line "we all kinda spin, like a carousel."
The chorus is a stark declaration that there is no such thing as love anymore. This seems to be a comment on the state of the world, where problems abound and it can be hard to find any kind of meaning or hope. However, the song does offer a glimmer of optimism in the repeated phrase "I wanna give ourselves another chance." The singer seems to be suggesting that it is up to us to try and make things right, to open our eyes and see the possibilities of a better life.
The second verse continues to explore these themes, with references to a "rising tide" and a "white horse." These images suggest the idea of a better world, a place where things are simpler and more peaceful. However, the singer is also aware that this kind of idealized world is impossible to reach. Instead, he offers a more pragmatic approach: to live a better life, we need to give ourselves a sight to see, to be willing to look beyond the chaos and find meaning in the small things.

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh.
The snow, has come down, on top of everything,
The town, is alive and well without you. (She's scared)
The lights, they peer out, of the leafless trees,
And you won't, be alone, I am beside you.
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
Tears, spilling out, across a dead end street,
Your house, is a lonely box that holds you.
The star, bright and loud, is in dire need,
Of the fear, that is an empty fear inside you.
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
True love,
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home. (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home. (True love)

Atom Willard was the cornerstone of every song on this album. His drumming was sublime.
@jakubfranek9995
Kudos to you for mentioning that. It would be 99% but he makes the 1% to perfection.
@bluewhye8832
I wonder what Travis would've done on this album.
