Angel
Scott Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slinging your kiss around here
Those hips, your slips - sugar
You've got me sweating tears
Why won't you give to me - lover
Like you used to do
What was it I could've done
To keep me aways with you
Angel - I think I gotta let you go
Angel - Never have I felt so alone
Do you remember the time
When we stuck together strong
You and me against the world
Making love not war
Everybody wanna drag us down
They wanna see us crawl
They're all just jealous people
But They're getting what thy want
Angel - I think I gotta let you go
Angel - Never have I felt so alone
Angel - I think I gotta let you go
Angel - Never have I felt so alone
In these lyrics, Scott Thomas is expressing the pain and frustration he feels in a relationship that has started to deteriorate. He begins by telling his partner that they have some nerve for playing with his emotions and affection. The mention of "slinging your kiss around here" suggests that his partner is being flirtatious or showing affection to others, which is causing him distress. The mention of hips and slips indicates a sexual element to their relationship, possibly alluding to infidelity or a lack of emotional connection.
Scott Thomas confesses that his partner used to give him love and affection, but something has changed. He wonders what he could have done differently to maintain that level of closeness between them. The repetition of the line "What was it I could've done" emphasizes his confusion and longing for their past connection.
The chorus repeats the word "Angel" as a symbol of his partner, implying that he sees them as an angelic figure. However, he also admits that he may need to let them go because he has never felt so alone before. This suggests that the relationship has become unhealthy, and he is contemplating ending it for his own well-being.
In the second verse, Scott Thomas reminisces about a time when they were strong together and united against the world. He portrays their past as a time of love and intimacy, contrasting it with the present situation. He acknowledges that others wanted to bring them down, possibly out of jealousy, but they are now getting what they wanted by seeing their relationship fall apart.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that he may have to let go of his partner, despite the pain he feels. The repeated line "Never have I felt so alone" emphasizes the loneliness and isolation he experiences in the current state of the relationship. Overall, these lyrics depict a troubled relationship and Scott Thomas's internal struggle with whether to continue holding on or to let go for his own emotional well-being.
