'til
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to tell me no matter how much we fight
Everything is gonna be alright
Our love will always be as young and bright
As the solemn pledge we recite
I used to tell myself this is the feeling
Your pretty smile, I just can’t stop falling
In my dreams, it’s your name I keep calling
Can you hear my words, my darling?
I wander on the clouds and I can’t settle
Want to see you again just to say I miss you
Standing at the end of the novel
Failing to continue
Til that day comes, I will smile over our best memories
Til that day comes, I’ll experience all four seasons
Til that day comes, I will hide you deep in my thoughts and tears
Til that day comes, I’ll keep running and I’ll never look back
We drifted apart, there are many reasons why
All the plans we made have gone awry
In the woods I don’t see fireflies
Are you covering my eyes
Now the scars are mine you don’t have to worry
Those nights we shared how amazingly starry
When has my vision become this blurry
Blind and scared
I’m still on my journey
Til that day comes, I will smile over our best memories
Til that day comes, I’ll experience all four seasons
Til that day comes, I will hide you deep in my thoughts and tears
Til that day comes, I’ll keep running and I’ll never look back
Til that day comes, I will blame myself for losing my grip
Til that day comes, I’ll shower in regrets and sorrows
Til that day comes, I will overcome the greatest mountains
Til that day comes, I’ll stop playing the past on repeat
Trees and flowers are colorless when I try to heal
All the bruises that I try to conceal
Walking down the aisle was once my ideal
But everything just seemed so real
I guess I’m not brave enough to say it’s all over
My heart is still looking for a harbor
Before it escapes from its last captor
In the sea, I’m a lost sailor
Til that day comes, I will smile over our best memories
Til that day comes, I’ll experience all four seasons
Til that day comes, I will hide you deep in my thoughts and tears
Til that day comes, I’ll keep running and I’ll never look back
The day I move on, we’ll greet each other like best friends
The day I move on, talking about our dreams, hope it never ends
The day I move on, ill exchange rings with somebody else
The day I move on, I’ll see heaven and not feel like hell




But when that day comes, I believe in destiny
Finally I’ll be happy to rest in harmony

Overall Meaning

The Angels’ “Til” is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks of longing, confusion, and hope. The song talks about a love that has drifted apart due to various reasons but still holds onto the memory and dreams of being together someday in the future. The lyrics are open to interpretation as they do not reveal much about the exact situation that led to the separation. However, the emotion behind the words is palpable, and the listener can relate to the feelings of sadness, regret, and uncertainty that the singer is conveying.


In the opening lines, the singer reminisces about the past when everything was alright, and they believed their love would remain young and bright forever. However, as time passed, things started falling apart, and they drifted apart. The singer talks about wandering aimlessly trying to find peace, but nothing seems to fill the void left by the lost love. The lyrics also hint at the idea that the singer is blaming themselves for the separation, and it has left deep scars that they are struggling to heal.


The chorus of the song is a repeat of the same lines ‘til that day comes, I will…’ where the singer talks about holding onto the memories, experiencing all four seasons, hiding the former love deep in their thoughts and tears, and never looking back until the day they can move on. The repetition of these lines and the use of four seasons as a metaphor for time passing make it clear that the singer is willing to wait until the day they can move on without regret or pain.

I used to get lost in the feeling of being in love with you, enraptured by your beautiful smile that I couldn't help but fall for. Your name was always on my lips, and I hoped you could hear me calling out to you.


I wander on the clouds and I can’t settle Want to see you again just to say I miss you Standing at the end of the novel Failing to continue
I'm lost in a dream world, unable to find peace, always searching for a way to be with you again. It feels like my life has reached its conclusion, but I can't seem to find a way to move forward, leaving me stuck at the end of the book with an unfinished story.


Til that day comes, I will smile over our best memories Til that day comes, I’ll experience all four seasons Til that day comes, I will hide you deep in my thoughts and tears Til that day comes, I’ll keep running and I’ll never look back
Until we can be together again, I'll cherish our happiest memories, and I'll experience every season without you. You'll always hold a special place in my heart, hidden away in my deepest emotions. But I won't let my longing for you hold me back from living my life to the fullest.


We drifted apart, there are many reasons why All the plans we made have gone awry In the woods I don’t see fireflies Are you covering my eyes
We grew apart for various reasons, and all the future plans we had together have fallen apart. I can't seem to find the joy that I once felt with the world around me, even in small things like seeing fireflies in the woods. It's as if something is keeping me from seeing the beauty.


Now the scars are mine you don’t have to worry Those nights we shared how amazingly starry When has my vision become this blurry Blind and scared I’m still on my journey
The pain I feel now is mine to bear - you don't have to concern yourself with it anymore. I still hold onto the memories of the nights we spent together, stargazing under a beautiful sky. It's hard to see what's ahead of me now, as everything feels so unclear and frightening. I'm still on this journey, even if I'm lost and directionless.


Til that day comes, I will blame myself for losing my grip Til that day comes, I’ll shower in regrets and sorrows Til that day comes, I will overcome the greatest mountains Til that day comes, I’ll stop playing the past on repeat
Until we meet again, I'll keep blaming myself for losing you and live with the weight of regret and sorrow. But with time, I know I can overcome even the greatest challenges. I'll try to stop dwelling on the past and move forward, one step at a time.


Trees and flowers are colorless when I try to heal All the bruises that I try to conceal Walking down the aisle was once my ideal But everything just seemed so real
When I'm trying to heal, everything loses its color - even the once-vibrant natural world seems dull. I'm constantly hiding the bruises and scars left behind from our relationship. Once, getting married to you was my goal, but now that reality has hit hard, it doesn't seem like such an ideal situation anymore.


I guess I’m not brave enough to say it’s all over My heart is still looking for a harbor Before it escapes from its last captor In the sea, I’m a lost sailor
I can't bring myself to say that our relationship is over, and my heart is still searching for a place to call home. Before it breaks free of its last chain, I feel like a sailor lost at sea, without direction or purpose.


The day I move on, we’ll greet each other like best friends The day I move on, talking about our dreams, hope it never ends The day I move on, ill exchange rings with somebody else The day I move on, I’ll see heaven and not feel like hell
Someday, when I can finally move on from you, we'll be able to greet each other with open arms, like old friends reunited. We'll talk about our hopes and dreams, and I'll be happy to make new memories. I'll eventually be able to find someone else to fall in love with and possibly even get married to, and that's when I'll finally feel like heaven instead of hell.


But when that day comes, I believe in destiny Finally I’ll be happy to rest in harmony
I believe that someday I'll find my destiny and be able to rest in peace, finally feeling happy and in harmony with the world around me.

Till the moon deserts the sky
Till the all the seas run dry
Till then I'll worship you
Till the tropic sun turns cold
Till this young world grows old
My darling, I'll adore you
You are my reason to live
All I own I would give
Just to have you adore me, oh, oh, oh
Till the rivers flow upstream
Till lovers cease to dream
Till then I'm yours, be mine



@ricardosalcedo8100

Hasta que la luna desaparezca el cielo
Hasta que todos los mares se sequen
Hasta entonces te adoraré

Hasta que el sol tropical se enfríe
Hasta que este mundo joven envejezca
Querida, te adoraré

Tú eres mi razón para vivir
Todo lo que poseo me daría
Sólo para que me ames

Hasta que los ríos fluyan aguas arriba
Hasta que los amantes dejen de soñar
Hasta entonces soy tuyo, sé mía

Tú eres mi razón para vivir
Todo lo que poseo me daría
Sólo para que me ames

Hasta que los ríos fluyan aguas arriba
Hasta que los amantes dejen de soñar
Hasta entonces soy tuyo, sé mía

This was our wedding song. Danced on clouds of joy. Made it to one short of 55 years. The love goes on.
