Gabriel
Bristol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
I can love
I am strong even on my own
But from him I never want to part
He's been there since the very start
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
Bless the day he came to be
Angel's wings carried him to me
Heavenly
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
The song "Gabriel" by Bristol seems to be a love song that compares the singer's own abilities with a man named Gabriel. The first verse goes, "I can fly, but I want his wings. I can shine even in the darkness, but I crave the light that he brings. Revel in the songs that he sings, my angel Gabriel." Here, the singer is saying that she has her own abilities, but she still wants what Gabriel has, and she loves the way he sings. In the second verse, she continues to compare herself to Gabriel, saying that she is strong on her own, but she needs his heart and never wants to leave him. She also credits Gabriel for being there since the beginning.
Overall, the song seems to be about a deep love and admiration for someone named Gabriel. The lyrics suggest that the singer views him as someone who completes her and makes her a better person. The use of angelic imagery throughout the song adds to this idea, as Gabriel is referred to as an angel several times.
