Angel Eyes
Taxicab Racers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are we bringing our fears to rest?
I'm a hunter seeking game
No, I'm a beggar bumming change
How we all need something to chase
How we all need something to chase
We're all inspired, looking for love tonight
With all the beating hearts, you can almost hear it
So I'll take a chance on you
And all the things you make me do
'Cause we all need something to chase
We all need something to chase
I come alive like a soul set free tonight
I am taking you slow
I've forgotten how to be someone without a second heart
To feed and challenge my wants
How I need to balance at once
We're all inspired, looking for love tonight
(Are you seeking or waiting?)
With all the beating hearts, you can almost hear it
So I'll take a chance on you
And all the things you make me do
'Cause we all need something to chase
We all need something to chase
Hope is alive We're all inspired, looking for love tonight
(Are you seeking or waiting?)
With all the beating hearts, you can almost hear it
So I'll take a chance on you
And all the things you make me do
'Cause we all need something to chase
We all need something to chase
The lyrics of "Angel Eyes" by Taxicab Racers have a lot to do with hope, inspiration, and love. The opening lines, "Hope is alive in these angel eyes tonight, are we bringing our fears to rest?" suggest that the song is about finding hope and letting go of fears. The next lines "I'm a hunter seeking game, no I'm a beggar bumming change, how we all need something to chase" give the impression that the search for hope and love is not always easy, that we often feel like we are either hunting or begging, but we need to keep pursuing in order to feel alive. The chorus reiterates this sentiment, that we are all inspired and looking for love, and that we need something or someone to chase in order to feel alive.
The second stanza of the song adds more depth to the lyrics, with lines like "I come alive like a soul set free tonight, I am taking you slow, I've forgotten how to be someone without a second heart to feed and challenge my wants, how I need to balance at once." These lines suggest that the pursuit of love and hope can be overwhelming at times, that we need to take things slow and find balance. The final lines of the song, "Hope is alive, we're all inspired, looking for love tonight, so I'll take a chance on you and all the things you make me do, 'cause we all need something to chase" sum up the main idea of the song- that hope, inspiration, and love are crucial to our existence, and that we need to keep seeking and chasing in order to feel alive.
