Wax Poetic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to leave them tomorrow
Angels falling through my hair
I want to meet them tomorrow
The song Angels by Wax Poetic is a poetic representation of the feelings of the singer. The opening line "Angels falling through my hair" seems to indicate a feeling of being weighed down or overwhelmed by thoughts or emotions represented by the angels. The line "I want to leave them tomorrow" indicates a desire to escape these thoughts or emotions, to leave them behind and move on. However, the following line "Angels falling through my hair, I want to meet them tomorrow" shows a conflicting desire to confront these thoughts or emotions so they can be understood or resolved.
The song seems to be about the struggle to live with and understand difficult emotions. The angels represent these emotions, which are often seen as heavenly or divine, but which can also be forces of turmoil or pain. The singer is torn between wanting to escape these emotions and wanting to face them head-on so they can be understood and possibly resolved. The ambiguity of the lyrics and the repetitive nature of the refrain adds to the contemplative and introspective mood of the song.

Creole translation:
Look how we’re walking…Look how we're looking for tomorrow. We don't even have the strength. Here comes the angel coming down, to strengthen us. He will give us the strength so we can work. He will give us the strength to go all the way to where we wanna go.
Even if you can't see tomorrow, you we still go very far. Don't stop searching, walk, walk, you will get very far. We will see tomorrow. He will strengthen us so we can see tomorrow. He will give us the strength so we can search…Wherever we go, we will find what we're looking for because the angel...
