When Angels Kiss
Noémi Lyrics

The lyrics to Noémi's song "When Angels Kiss" convey a message of hope, faith and redemption. The opening lines 'When angels kiss, and swallows cry' present a poetic and melancholic image that evokes a sense of longing and loss. The following line, 'One day will come, we'll learn to fly' immediately switches the mood to a more uplifting and positive one. The notion of broken wings being held in a mother's arms suggest a nurturing support system, and the idea that God's army sings implies that there is strength to be gained from a higher power. The chorus repeats the phrase 'when angels kiss' three times, emphasising its importance and significance in the narrative. The idea of a kiss from an angel serving as a signal of freedom is a powerful one, implying that the divine is the ultimate source of liberation.

The second verse also poses questions about the mysteries of life, 'Tell me why turns the water into wine?' and 'Can't you feel the secret sign?' The lyrical content suggests a desire to understand the universe and its workings, perhaps even to find evidence of a higher force at play. Once again, the metaphor of an angelic kiss takes on meaning - this time as a source of guidance and rescue. The image of a shining star losing its way in a sea of grey, and the idea that a helping hand will rescue the singer, speaks to the theme of finding hope and salvation in moments of doubt and despair. The repetition of the chorus mirrors that of the opening, underscoring the importance of the theme of angels as a source of comfort and light.
