Overall Meaning

"Eurythmics" was a British pop-rock band from the 1980s. The song "Angel" is from their album "We Too Are One" released in 1989. The song has a very catchy and upbeat tune, which is very typical of 1980s pop music. The song is about the power of imagination and how it can take you to another world.


The song's chorus is "Whoa oh, I've got an angel." This could mean that the singer feels that they have found someone special who brings them happiness and comfort, just like an angel. The phrase "The power of imagination goes right to my head" suggests that the singer has a vivid imagination, and the world they imagine is better than the real world. They could be referring to a lover, who brings joy and happiness to their life, but this is left for interpretation.


The phrase "Time is time, it's time to kill" can have different meanings. It could mean that time is just a concept that we created, and it's wasted if we don't use it effectively. Alternatively, it could mean that the clock is ticking, and the singer has something important to do. The repetition of the phrase in the song's ending adds more emphasis to its meaning.

on Love Is a Stranger

Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away

Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

Love is a danger of a different kind
To take you away and leave you far behind
And love love love is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it and you still can't get enough of the stuff

It's savage and it's cruel and it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood and it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal, it distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up and you're left like a zombie

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so

It's an obsession

It's guilt edged, glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
