Unrequited Love Takes Flight in 'Ángel (Once in Your Lifetime)' by Belinda

Belinda's song 'Ángel (Once in Your Lifetime)' is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the deep yearning for a connection that transcends friendship. The lyrics convey the emotions of someone who is in love with their friend and is struggling with the realization that their feelings may never be reciprocated. The repeated references to being like air, floating freely, and the invocation of an angel of peace suggest a desire for a love that is pure, uplifting, and ethereal.

The song's narrator expresses a deep emotional bond with the object of their affection, symbolized by the phrase 'te llevo en la piel,' which translates to 'I carry you in my skin.' This metaphor indicates a love that is more than skin deep; it's a part of the narrator's very being. The pain of unrequited love is palpable in the lyrics, with the narrator acknowledging the difficulty of remaining 'just friends' and the heartache that comes with waking up to a reality where their love is not actualized.

Belinda's musical style often includes pop and rock elements, and her emotive voice adds to the song's sense of longing and vulnerability. 'Ángel (Once in Your Lifetime)' resonates with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of loving someone who may only see them as a friend. The song captures the hope and despair of holding onto a dream that one's love might one day be returned, and the fear of losing even the friendship that currently exists.
