I Don't Love You
Angelo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't have a car
To drive around in
I just have a heart
That I walk about in
I walk around

If I could I'd buy
You a house in Laurel Canyon
Underneath the moon above
In the shade of the mountain
I walk around

Life's been hard and you've lived a few
Did I give too much love to you?
I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
You needed love, I needed you

Back in my hometown
Looking for a silver Honda
But there's too many all around
And I fear I'll never find you
So I walk around

Hoping that one day
I'll see you driving up my street again
On your grandpa's bicycle
With your long hair blowing in the wind
And we'll walk around

Life's been hard and you've lived a few
Did I give too much love to you?
I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
You needed love, I needed you

Life's been hard and you've lived a few
Did I give too much love to you?




I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
You needed love, I needed you

Overall Meaning

"I Don't Love You" by Angelo de Augustine is a soft and melancholic song about longing and unrequited love. The opening lines, "I don't have a car, to drive around in, I just have a heart, that I walk about in," convey a sense of restlessness and a deep desire to be with someone, despite lacking resources or means of transportation. The singer's only means of reaching out to the person he loves is by walking around, hoping to catch a glimpse of them.


The second verse reveals the depth of the singer's feelings, as he dreams of buying a house for his loved one in Laurel Canyon, a neighborhood in Los Angeles known for its scenic beauty and bohemian atmosphere. However, he can only imagine this scenario, and his love remains unrequited. The chorus repeats the lines "Life's been hard and you've lived a few, Did I give too much love to you? I'm sorry but it's what I had to do, You needed love, I needed you," conveying a sense of regret for having loved too much but not being loved enough in return.


In the final verse, the singer returns to his hometown, hoping to find his loved one again, but this time the search is even more difficult than before. Here, the imagery of looking for a silver Honda and the fear of never finding the person he loves symbolize the emotional struggles that come with unrequited love. Despite these difficulties, the singer still holds on to the hope that one day he will see his loved one again, biking down his street with her hair blowing in the wind as they walk around together.


Overall, "I Don't Love You" is a poignant and introspective song that explores themes of love, loss, regret, and hope. The lyrics are simple yet deeply emotive, and Angelo de Augustine's delicate vocals and acoustic guitar create a gentle and contemplative atmosphere that perfectly captures the mood of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't have a car
I don't possess a vehicle


To drive around in
To propel oneself in a motorized object


I just have a heart
I possess a vital organ responsible for the circulation of blood


That I walk about in
That I physically move around with


I walk around
I move physically without a specific destination


If I could I'd buy
In the hypothetical scenario that I possessed the necessary funds, I would purchase


You a house in Laurel Canyon
A residence located in a specific geographic area


Underneath the moon above
Beneath the natural satellite that orbits the Earth


In the shade of the mountain
Protected from direct sunlight by the mass of rock protruding from the Earth's surface


I walk around
I move physically without a specific destination


Life's been hard and you've lived a few
The experiences of existence have been challenging for you and you've had many


Did I give too much love to you?
Did I demonstrate a level of affection towards you that was potentially overwhelming?


I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
I apologize, but displaying that level of fondness was necessary for me


You needed love, I needed you
You craved affection, and I desired your companionship


Back in my hometown
In the geographic location where I spent my formative years


Looking for a silver Honda
Searching for a means of transportation with a metallic exterior


But there's too many all around
However, there exists a superfluous number of said objects in the vicinity


And I fear I'll never find you
I am concerned that I will never encounter you


So I walk around
I move physically without a specific destination


Hoping that one day
Fervently anticipating an occurrence in the future


I'll see you driving up my street again
I will witness you propelling yourself in a vehicle towards my place of residence


On your grandpa's bicycle
On a bicycle owned by your grandfather


With your long hair blowing in the wind
With your lengthy hair moved by the current of air


And we'll walk around
We will move physically without a specific destination


Life's been hard and you've lived a few
The experiences of existence have been challenging for you and you've had many


Did I give too much love to you?
Did I demonstrate a level of affection towards you that was potentially overwhelming?


I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
I apologize, but displaying that level of fondness was necessary for me


You needed love, I needed you
You craved affection, and I desired your companionship


Life's been hard and you've lived a few
The experiences of existence have been challenging for you and you've had many


Did I give too much love to you?
Did I demonstrate a level of affection towards you that was potentially overwhelming?


I'm sorry but it's what I had to do
I apologize, but displaying that level of fondness was necessary for me


You needed love, I needed you
You craved affection, and I desired your companionship

If Aristotle was doing Angelo on SNL in the 90s, the character would have gotten a movie.

Canais Young

That would have bombed and either become one of those cult classics thanks to home media releases and cable reruns or the reason why movies based on SNL characters are trash.

Francesca A

Truth

MarLa

I'm three weeks late to this comment but was just thinking the SAME. THING.

Doubex1

I mean I can see this being a movie

Francesca A

@Doubex1 Absolutely. If Night at the Roxbury and Ladies Man can be a movie, this could be drawn out into a movie.

"Angelo moves to NY from Marfelaofovas with the hope of sharing his music. At first it's difficult, but he makes new friends as he goes along, and they help him realize his dream."

It's great to see proper divertisy in SNL. They had never featured an actual cast member from Margapalfacepesa

Jill Knapp

I laughed out loud over this. :D
(But I thought the country was Marnarpanfanshabisah.)

(I am only slightly ashamed to say I listened to him saying the country name about 93 times on 0.25 speed. God, I need a hobby.)
