Angel Interceptor
Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stayed in last night
I wasn't feeling all right
I knew it couldn't last
I started thinking of you

And I wished we could be dancing in the dark
(Really slow)
Oh, it's good to know
Tomorrow, you are coming home

(I won't be so alone)
I feel heaven in you
Don't you know
I feel heaven in you

Oh, it's true
I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know
Sitting alone

With the TV on
I fell asleep
I was hoping you'd call
And I dreamed we could be dancing in the dark

(Really slow)
Oh, it's good to know
Tomorrow, you are coming home
(I won't be so alone)

I feel heaven in you
Don't you know
I feel heaven in you
Oh, it's true

I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know
Angel interceptor
Apollo 21

Uri Gagarin
Flew into the sun
The angels in heaven
Look down where he lay

Oh tomorrow you are coming home
I feel heaven in you
Don't you know
I feel heaven in you

Oh it's true




I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know

Overall Meaning

The song "Angel Interceptor" by Ash seems to be about missing someone and wishing for their return. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been alone and perhaps feeling down, but the thought of the person they miss makes them feel like they are in heaven. They wish for a reunion and to dance with the person they miss.


The chorus repeats the idea that the singer feels heaven in the person they miss, and they can't let go of that feeling. They dream of being together and dancing in the dark, which could symbolize a deeper connection that they long for. The verse about Apollo 21 and Yuri Gagarin may be referring to the idea of space exploration and how it relates to the longing for something more.


Overall, the song seems to portray the feeling of longing for someone and the hope for a reunion. The idea of heaven being found in the person they miss adds a layer of spirituality to the song.

Saw Ash last night at the Roundhouse.Was absolutely amazing.All the classics.Crowd got them back for an encore that included one of my favourites "Burn baby burn" and Charlotte came on at the end.Yes.Have a Girl From Mars T-shirt topped off my night.Definitely see them again!

@jaymythxxxx

Difficult question. Someone you've just met says to you ''Give me ONE song that best demonstrates your taste in music''.
''Burn baby burn'' would probably be my pick.

@benhughes7892

I saw them on Thursday night in Manchester. They were absolutely amazing, despite their having aged a fair bit, they got the place bouncing proper! They didn't play this unfortunately. Ash are one of those bands who have a vast array of quality songs that they'd struggle to get into two or three set lists lol

@jmiester25

great band. cant get over how awesome they are.

@katherinewade2021

Saw them last week in Bristol and this was on their set list towards the end. People were so happy, hugging etc was so lovely !!!! Ash rock!! ❤

@a0b0

this lineup was amazing.

@DubNordy33

The Norths finest. Indie punk with swagger and confidence. Ash were much more talented
Than most of the big 90s indie bands effortlessly crafting perfect punk-pop hits that were contagious and catchy; tight and neat, with soaring solos and imaginative lyrics. I remember hearing this tune for the first time and was blown away; jumpin about to the guitar solo from heaven. Still feels the same, 30yrs later. Truly outstanding, well played Tim.

@GTiR23

Tim Wheeler, what a top guy! 

@ehren.bienert6385

saw these guys open for weezer in 96 during the Pinkerton tour. Instant fan.

@BackToBackJames

Ash AND Weezer? That must have been amazing
