Angel
FINNEAS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Congratulations, you've been pretending to be human
So well
Might even fool the neighbors
Reading your Sunday papers
I won't tell
But I know better than to
Bring up the weather with you
And talk about the rain
After you fall asleep, I'll
Kiss both your eyes and cheeks
I know we're not the same

You're an angel
In disguise
You're an angel
In my eyes

I bought a house to live in
But you're the home I'm missin'
I know
Nothing good lasts forever
But nights with you are better
So go slow
I never knew I needed you
Before I found you for the first time, mm
I'm out of step, I'm off my feet
I'm waking up inside a dream
Teach me how to fly

You're an angel
In disguise
You're an angel
In my eyes

Ah, ah
Woo, woo
Ah, ah
Woo, woo

You're an angel
In my eyes
You're an angel
Are you mine, mine, mine
Tonight?
Tonight (woo)




Tonight
Tonight (woo, woo)

Overall Meaning

In "Angel," FINNEAS admits that he's been pretending to be human so well that even his neighbors might not realize he's an otherworldly being. He reveals that he can't talk about the weather with his love interest because he knows that he's not like the average person. He sees his lover as an angel in disguise, who he wants to be with forever. Even though he knows that nothing lasts forever, he's grateful for every night he spends with them.


The song represents deep love and appreciation for a person who is a perfect match. The phrase "angel in disguise" usually refers to someone who appears ordinary but possesses invisible qualities. FINNEAS sees his lover in this light because he understands their unique qualities and how he can't compare them with anyone else. He acknowledges his emotions throughout the song, emphasizing that he was living in a world of ordinary people before he met his lover.


One of the most important messages delivered in the song is the power of love that can make the impossible happen. FINNEAS speaks of himself being out of step and off his feet, waking up inside a dream, and needs someone to teach him how to fly. With the person he loves by his side, he can accomplish anything, and the mere thought of this fills him with joy.

I appreciate the way you're able to hide your emotions so well, just like how we humans often do.


So well

I won't expose your secret to others because I understand the importance of keeping it private.


But I know better than to
I have learned to avoid things that may strike a chord with your not-so-human nature.


Bring up the weather with you
Talking about banal topics such as weather may make you feel disconnected, and so I avoid that.


And talk about the rain
I refrain from indicating things that may upset you because you are an angel in disguise and can be easily hurt.


After you fall asleep, I'll
Once you've dozed off, I'll do something that may provoke your dormant angelic side to surface.


Kiss both your eyes and cheeks
I'll kiss you tenderly, and hopefully, the power of my love would trigger the angel in you.

I'm out of step, I'm off my feet
When you're not around or when you're away, I feel off-balance and vulnerable.


I'm waking up inside a dream
Being with you feels surreal; as if I'm in a dream but wide awake, experiencing pure bliss and serenity.


Teach me how to fly
I want you to show me how to rise like an angel, to fly and soar above the mundane world we live in and access a higher plane of being.


Are you mine, mine, mine/Tonight?
I crave your love, affection, and care tonight. Being with you enables me to feel complete and happy.


Tonight (woo)
I want everything to be perfect, with you, tonight.


Tonight
I hope to have the chance to spend the night with you, as one soul, united by love.

FINNEAS - Angel <lyric>

Congratulations, you've been
Pretending to be human so well
Might even fool the neighbors
reading your Sunday papers
I won't tell

But I know better than to
Bring up the weather with you
And talk about the rain
After you fall asleep I'll Kiss both
your eyes and cheeks
I know we're not the same

You're an angel... In disguise
You're an angel in my eyes

I bought a house to live in
But you're the home I'm missin'
I know
Nothing good lasts forever
But nights with you are better, so
Go slow
I never knew I needed you
Before I found you for the first time, hmm
I'm out of step, I'm off my feet
I'm waking up inside a dream
Teach me how to fly

You're an angel... In disguise
You're an angel in my eyes

Haaa ah woo, woooo...
Haaa ah woo, woooo...

You're an angel... In my eyes
You're an angel
Are you mine, mine, mine
Tonight
Tonight wooo
Tonight
Tonight wooo
