For Evangeline
The Juliana Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
made me your own in one hour you gave me away to the angels you sent me up to the sky now their wings fan the heat from
the face you'll never see the hair you'll never smell the little hands you'll never hold now i am but a silhouette down
there a silhouette of a memory of a solitary night nothing more.
For Evangeline by The Juliana Theory is a song that speaks of fleeting moments of passion and love that are quickly forgotten. The lyrics talk about how in just one night, the singer was made to feel loved and cherished like never before. The "deepest embrace's creation" refers to the intimacy and vulnerability shared between two people in the heat of the moment. However, despite the intensity of their connection, the other person seems to have forgotten about the singer just as quickly. In one hour, they "gave [them] away to the angels," as if the love they shared never really mattered.
The second half of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reflects on what they have lost. They are now just a "silhouette of a memory," a faint reminder of a night that was once so full of life and passion. The references to the "face [they'll] never see," the "hair [they'll] never smell," and the "little hands [they'll] never hold" are heart-wrenching, as they highlight the tiny details that once made up a person they loved. The final line, "nothing more," underscores the idea that the relationship was never meant to last, and that the singer has been left with nothing but a memory.
Overall, For Evangeline is a powerful song that captures the fleeting nature of love and how easily it can be forgotten. The Juliana Theory's poignant lyrics and soaring music make this song a standout, and it is sure to resonate with anyone who has experienced a sudden and inexplicable end to a relationship.
