Angelene
Hey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My first name Angelene
Prettiest mess you've ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls I'll let him in

Rose is my colour and white
Pretty mouth, and green my eyes
I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect my soul
And come to me

Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
It lays open like a road

Dear God, life ain't kind
People gettin born then dying
But I've heard there's joy untold
Lays open like a road in front of me

Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
Lays open like a road

It seems so far away
I see men come and go
Two thousand miles until I reach that open road





My first name's angelene

Overall Meaning

The song Angelene by Hey is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of a woman's life, her desires, and her hopes for the future. The song opens with the singer introducing herself, using her first name Angelene as the title of the song.

Despite this, she still lets any man in who calls her, suggesting that she might be a prostitute or a woman who uses her looks to get what she wants.


The song then turns to Angelene's appearance, describing her as wearing rose and white, with a pretty mouth and green eyes. The lyrics then explore the men who come and go in Angelene's life, but she believes that there will be one man who will collect her soul and come to her. This suggests that Angelene is searching for someone to love her for who she is and not just for her looks or money.


The chorus repeats the idea of the man who is two thousand miles away, walking upon the coast. The distance between the singer and her love interest symbolizes the emotional distance between them. But Angelene remains hopeful that one day, she will reach that open road.

Tak, tak, jest juz 2023r! A ja wracam do tego covera od lat. Nie znalem tego utworu PJ Harvey, poznalem go dzieki Hey i Agnieszce. Tak, to MAJSTERSZTYK. Pod wieloma wzgledami. Sama kompozycja. Aranzacja w tej wersji i instrumentarium, w tym przeszkadzajki. No i dwa wokale. Agnieszka na absolutnym topie w swojej karierze i umiejetnosciach. Cos niesamowitego. A do tego swietna ze tak powiem prezencja. ;) Nosowska zupelnie w innym klimacie, swoim, ale IDEALNIE pasujacym do utworu i do tego tandemu z Agnieszka. Rewelacja!!!

@petsitterbeata5022

Ja też😂😊❤

@denverpl95

Zwróćcie uwagę jak dynamiczna jest Agnieszka Chylińska, a jak statyczna Kasia Nosowska. Każda przeżywa tę piosenkę w inny sposób. Zakochałam się w tym.

@nowaluc

Tu chyba w ogóle chodzi o przeżywanie muzyki. Nie wiem, czy widziałaś jakieś występy Nosowskiej (Hey) na żywo, ale ona zawsze i przy każdym utworze stoi w ten sposób

@caerme

@Łukasz Nowak Niektórych w środku rozrywa tak bardzo, że ciało nie jest w stanie się ruszyć... 😀 poszła by mi łza gdybym był na tym live'ie.. pozdro

@alicjaukasiak5444

Grzegorz Ciechowski na swoich koncertach stał nieruchomo i tego też wymagał od kolegów. Ich muzyka po prostu nie kompilowała się z szaleństwem na scenie, było to groteskowe.
Nosowskiej nie wyobrażam sobie skaczącej po scenie, bo nigdy nie robiła tego.
Chylińska... Jest Chylińską. Po prostu 😂

@alicjaukasiak5444

Ja nie wiem, co tu Agnieszkę tak nosiło i bujało...
