Gulliver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angelina, let my love be their light
Though I'm a painter you can't see my pictures
But you know the colors I use
They flash in your mind still you don't know their meaning
But I'll teach their meaning to you
Angelina, though your eyes have been closed all your life
You never looked at the face that I cherish
Or seen the sun in your hair
I will speak softly and touch you and kiss you to prove I'm there
Angelina mm hm
Angelina let my love be your light
Angelina, just like the night is a part of the day
You're part of me
Angelina, though your eyes have been closed all your life
Angelina, let my love be your light
Angelina mm hm
Can you see Angelina mm hm
Can you see me Angelina
The song "Angelina" by Gulliver is a beautiful and sentimental ballad that speaks of the love and affection of a painter towards a woman named Angelina who has been blind since birth. The song begins with the singer acknowledging the disability that Angelina has lived with all her life and promises, in the most tender way possible, to become the light that guides her, showing her a world of colors she has never seen before. The songwriter further explains that, even though Angelina has never seen the paintings he creates, she still knows the tones and colors he uses, and he vows to teach her their meaning.
The lyrics continue to speak of how Angelina has never really seen herself or the world around her, but the singer is determined to make her feel his love and presence. The words are full of warmth, kindness and comfort as the singer promises to touch her and speak softly to assure her of his presence. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the author sees Angelina as a part of himself, inseparable and adored, and he pleads with her to let his love be the light that illuminates her path.
This song is not only a touching tribute to the beauty of love but also a reminder of how precious the simple things in life can be. It's a celebration of the overlooked senses like touch, sound, and smell, that can often be the gateway to healing, love, and affection.
