Angel Eyes
Night Horse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took my needs like a devil in the breeze, heaven come and save this child.
Angel eyes, it ain't no lie, nothing left to conceal.
Angel eyes, I've got no time. Nothing left up my sleeve.
Now I know it's my heart and soul you've got a hold of.
Angel eyes, devil in disguise, now you've gone and stole them.
You took my love like a devil in the woods, heaven come and save this boy.
Angel eyes, it ain't no lie, nothing left to conceal.
Angel eyes, I got no time. Nothing left up my sleeve.
Now I know it's my heart and soul you've got a hold of.
Angel eyes, devil in disguise, now you've gone and stole them.
Now I know, heart and soul you've got a hold of.
Angel eyes, devil in disguise, now you've gone and stole them.
Now I know it's my heart and soul you've got a hold of.
Angel eyes, devil in disguise, now you've gone and stole them.
Now I know, heart and soul you've got a hold of.
Angel eyes, devil in disguise, now you've gone and stole them.
Angel eyes, angel eyes.
Angel eyes, my angel eyes.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The lyrics of Night Horse's "Angel Eyes" encapsulate the feeling of betrayal and hurt caused by a partner who was once trusted. The singer catches the person in the act of "stealing" in the night, and when confronted about their actions, they take the singer's needs and love as if they were a "devil in the breeze" or a "devil in the woods." The singer pleads for heaven to come and save them from this person's deceitful actions. It's clear that the once angelic image of this person has been shattered by their actions, now revealing them as a "devil in disguise" who has taken hold of the singer's "heart and soul."
The repetition of the phrase "Now I know" in the final verses emphasizes the impact this betrayal has had on the singer. They've come to the realization that this person has not only taken their possessions, but their very essence. The use of "angel eyes" to describe this person adds to the theme of the duality of their character; at first, they seemed pure and good, but they have since revealed their true nature. The power of the lyrics lies in the way they evoke the feeling of a stolen essence - the singer has been stripped down to their core and must now come to terms with what's been lost.
