Gabriel
B.A.G.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mourne while you can, the journey's just about to begin
Mourne while you can, the journey's just about to begin
Mourne while you can, the journey's just about to begin
Mourne while you can, the journey's just about to begin
I'm searching in your eyes for some sort of a sign
The elephant is knocking at my door
But I tried to ignore
The mirror I could look through, became a solid wall
The elephant is knocking at my door
But I didn't want to let him in, I tried to ignore
I'll grab our memories, to write a new story
I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
I'll grab our memories, to write a new story
I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
To see you again, to have back my friend
I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
There's no magic wand, nor rabbit and his tea
Your demons play hide-and-seek with a cloak of invisibility
The doubt is pouring out of my pen
Staining my page and my hand
I saw your shadow when she ran away
What could I do what could I say?
Searching for that bright old look, day after day
The doubt is pouring out of my pen
Staining my page, staining my hand
I'll grab our memories, to write a new story
I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
I'll grab our memories, to write a new story
I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
To see you again, to have back my friend
I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
This is not what I should get
I don't wanna be the big brother yet
We'll write our story together
Just wait for the sun to set
I know I made you sad, and I could never
Apologize enough for that
But our hearts, they beat on the same line
Yeah, we're both on the same side
The song "Gabriel" by B.A.G.I. explores the theme of a person trying to reconcile with a friend or loved one after a falling out. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, creating a poetic and deeply emotional narrative. The repetition of the phrase "Mourne while you can, the journey's just about to begin" sets an almost ominous tone, as if the singer is warning both themselves and their friend of what's to come.
The "elephant knocking at my door" represents the burdens and issues that the singer has been avoiding, but can no longer ignore. The reference to the "mirror becoming a solid wall" suggests that the singer has lost sight of themselves and their friend, unable to see beyond their own emotions and fears. The line "I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes" may sound aggressive, but it can also be interpreted as a willingness to face the truth and confront the past head-on.
The chorus ("I'll grab our memories, to write a new story") is both hopeful and bittersweet. The singer wants to turn the page and start anew, but they also want to hold onto the memories they shared with their friend. The line "to see you again, to have back my friend" reveals how much the singer misses their friend and how much they regret what's happened between them. The final lines of the song ("we're both on the same side") suggest that, despite their differences and past mistakes, the singer and their friend share a deep connection that they want to repair.
Overall, "Gabriel" is a powerful and moving song that explores the complexities of friendship and the importance of forgiveness.

Mourne while you can, the journey's just about to begin
Take a moment to mourn before starting the journey ahead
I'm searching in your eyes for some sort of a sign
Trying to read your emotions through your eyes
The elephant is knocking at my door, But I tried to ignore
Ignoring the issues at hand even when they are hard to miss
I can read you like a book, I can see that inner brawl
Able to understand the internal struggles going on within you
The mirror I could look through, became a solid wall
Unable to see things clearly due to the barriers in one's own mind
I'll grab our memories, to write a new story, I'll hit you in the face if it's what it takes
Willing to take drastic measures to make amends and start over
There's no magic wand, nor rabbit and his tea, Your demons play hide-and-seek with a cloak of invisibility
No easy solution to the inner struggles we face, they can be hard to detect
The doubt is pouring out of my pen, Staining my page and my hand
Feeling uncertain and struggling to put thoughts into words
I saw your shadow when she ran away, What could I do what could I say?
Watching someone you care about leave and feeling helpless
I don't wanna be the big brother yet, We'll write our story together
Not ready to assume a caretaker role, want to work together to create a shared experience
But our hearts, they beat on the same line, Yeah, we're both on the same side
Despite differences and struggles, ultimately connected to one another and working towards the same goal
