Hanggang Tingin
Kamikazee Lyrics

Handa ng sasabihin
Noon pa man gustong aminin
Pero bago pa man patapusin
Biglaan mo akong binitin

Ang sabi mo sa akin
Nagkakamali ka
Wag ka nang umasa

Kaibigan lamang kita

Ang sabi mo sa akin
Nagkakamali ka
Wag ka nang umasa
Kaibigan lamang kita

Pahamak yan si kupido
Di naman asintado
Tinamaan nga ako pero haging lamang sayo
Hanggang tingin na lang
Lagi na lang ganyan
Nasasanay na ang puso ko
Lagi na lang nabibigo

Kapalaran ko na yata
Na tatanda akong binata
Di ko malilimutan
Mga binitawan mong salita

Ang sabi mo sa akin
Nagkakamali ka
Wag ka nang umasa
Kaibigan lamang kita

Ang sabi mo sa akin
Nagkakamali ka
Wag ka nang umasa
Kaibigan lamang kita

Pahamak yan si kupido
Di naman asintado
Tinamaan nga ako pero haging lamang sayo
Hanggang tingin na lang
Lagi na lang ganyan
Nasasanay na ang puso ko
Lagi na lang nabibigo

Pahamak yan si kupido
Di naman asintado
Tinamaan nga ako pero haging lamang sayo
Hanggang tingin na lang
Lagi na lang ganyan

Nasasanay na ang puso ko
Lagi na lang nabibigo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kamikazee's song "Hanggang Tingin" tell a story of unrequited love. The singer has been harboring feelings for someone and has been ready to confess them for a long time. However, right before the moment they were supposed to make their move, the person they were crushing on told them that they should not expect anything beyond friendship. The singer is heartbroken and frustrated, but they feel like they cannot help themselves from admiring the person from afar. They blame Cupid for striking them with an arrow that missed its mark and left them pining for someone who would never reciprocate their feelings.

The language of the song is very straightforward, but it conveys a complex set of emotions that are relatable to many people who have been in a similar situation. The use of the Tagalog phrase "hanggang tingin na lang" (only until I look) implies that the person's feelings will never be acted upon and that they will remain stuck in this unrequited love limbo forever. The repetition of certain lines and phrases speaks to the singer's desperation and sense of resignation. The song's overall tone is bittersweet, and it captures the fleetingness of youth and the inevitability of growing older and eventually moving on.

Handa ng sasabihin
Ready to speak up

Noon pa man gustong aminin
Since a long time ago, wanting to confess

Pero bago pa man patapusin
But before it could be finished

Biglaan mo akong binitin
You suddenly cut me off

Ang sabi mo sa akin
You told me

Nagkakamali ka
You were mistaken

Wag ka nang umasa
Don't hope

Kaibigan lamang kita
I only see you as a friend

Pahamak yan si kupido
Cupid is a troublemaker

Di naman asintado
He's not even accurate

Tinamaan nga ako pero haging lamang sayo
I was hit, but I still only have eyes for you
