Engel Ikke Dra
Tix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verden er så kald og grå
Jeg kan ikke la deg gå
Men hjertet mitt må forsøke å forstå
For det kjennes som jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller
Kjennes som jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller
Jeg vil gjøre alt for å beholde deg
For hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
Noen sa at hvis du elsker noen må du la dem gå
Jeg er sikker på at han som sa det ikke følte det jeg føler nå
Hvor enn jeg er
Tenker jeg du burde vært her
Jeg angrer dagene jeg glemte å sette pris på deg
Så mange ting jeg ikke savnet før jeg mistet deg
Ja, livet bare raser forbi
Jeg vet at du har det bedre, men hjertet mitt trenger tid
For jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller
Kjennes som jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
Jeg vil gjøre alt for å beholde deg
For hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
For hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?
TIX's song "Engel Ikke Dra" is a poignant and emotional ballad about trying to understand the pain of losing a loved one. The lyrics start with a sense of emptiness and hopelessness, describing a world that feels cold and grey. The singer can't bear the thought of letting their partner go, but they also know deep down that they have to try to come to terms with their feelings. The repetition of the phrase "jeg faller" (I'm falling) captures the sense of being lost and overwhelmed, with the singer feeling as though they are spiraling out of control.
The chorus is a plea to an angelic figure not to leave them behind. The singer recognizes that without their partner, they are lost and incomplete. The line "noen sa at hvis du elsker noen må du la dem gå" (someone said that if you love someone, you have to let them go) is a common adage, but the singer disagrees with it, feeling that the pain of separation is too much to bear. The final line "for hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?" (for who am I, who am I, who am I without you?) sums up the theme of the song, which is the fear of losing oneself in the absence of a loved one.
Overall, "Engel Ikke Dra" is a moving and heartfelt exploration of grief and loss, with TIX's powerful vocals delivering the raw emotion of the lyrics.

Alt virker så tomt her nå
The world seems empty and meaningless without you
Verden er så kald og grå
The world is devoid of warmth and happiness
Jeg kan ikke la deg gå
I cannot bear to let you go
Men hjertet mitt må forsøke å forstå
But my heart must try to understand
For det kjennes som jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller
It feels like I am constantly falling without you
Kjennes som jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller og jeg faller
It feels like I am falling without any hope of stopping
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
Angel, please don't leave me
Jeg vil gjøre alt for å beholde deg
I will do anything to keep you with me
For hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?
Who am I, who am I, who am I without you?
Noen sa at hvis du elsker noen må du la dem gå
Some say that if you love someone, you must let them go
Jeg er sikker på at han som sa det ikke følte det jeg føler nå
I am sure that whoever said that did not feel what I am feeling now
Hvor enn jeg er
Wherever I am
Tenker jeg du burde vært her
I think you should be here with me
Jeg angrer dagene jeg glemte å sette pris på deg
I regret the days I took you for granted
Så mange ting jeg ikke savnet før jeg mistet deg
So many things I did not appreciate before losing you
Ja, livet bare raser forbi
Yes, life just passes by
Jeg vet at du har det bedre, men hjertet mitt trenger tid
I know you are better off without me, but my heart needs time
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
Angel, please don't leave me
Jeg vil gjøre alt for å beholde deg
I will do anything to keep you with me
For hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?
Who am I, who am I, who am I without you?
Engel, ikke dra fra meg
Angel, please don't leave me
For hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg, hvem er jeg uten deg?
Who am I, who am I, who am I without you?

Angel, don’t go
Everything seems so empty here now,
The world is so cold and grey
I can’t let you go
But my heart needs to try to understand
Because it feels like
I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling
Feels like I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling
Angel, don’t leave me
I will do everything to
keep you here
Because who am I, who am I, who am I without you?
Angel, don’t leave me
Someone said that if you love someone, you need to let them go
I’m sure he never felt like I’m feeling now
Where ever I am, I’m thinking you should have been here
I regret the days i forgot to appreciate you
So many things I didn’t get to say before I lost you
Yes, life is just flashing forward
I know you have it better now, but my heart needs time
Because it feels like
I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling
Feels like I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling and I’m falling
Angel, don’t leave me
I will do everything to
keep you here
Because who am I, who am I, who am I without you?
Angel, don’t leave me
Angel, don’t leave me
Because who am I, who am I, who am I without you?

He dedicated this song to a young fan of his who sadly died only 20 years old. The «A» in the heart stands for her name, Aurora. He performed this song live for Aurora’s family and her best friend in a very emotional performance (I think the video is on YT). When I watched it on TV my tears just streamed down....

TIX wrote this song to a fan that died of cancer in 2019. Her wish before she died
