ANGEL

In 'Angel,' keshi delves into the complexities of love and the pain of unfulfilled expectations. The song opens with a sense of longing and hope, as the narrator expresses a desire to believe in the goodness of their partner. This initial optimism is quickly overshadowed by a sense of misunderstanding and disillusionment. The narrator feels that their love was never truly recognized or appreciated, leading to a poignant question: who will now receive the love they once gave so freely?

The recurring theme of letting someone in 'again and again' highlights a cycle of vulnerability and disappointment. The narrator's repeated attempts to connect and find solace in their partner are met with a lack of reciprocation. The metaphor of the partner as an 'angel' serves to underscore the idealization and subsequent disillusionment. The narrator's realization that they 'lost themselves' in the process of loving someone who couldn't meet their expectations is a powerful commentary on the dangers of placing someone on a pedestal.

As the song progresses, the tone shifts from sorrow to a sense of finality. The narrator bids farewell, acknowledging that their partner would never truly understand or appreciate their love. The imagery of 'treading at the shore' and 'never drowned before' suggests that the partner has never experienced the depth of emotion that the narrator has. This contrast between the narrator's profound feelings and the partner's superficial understanding adds a layer of poignancy to the song. Ultimately, 'Angel' is a reflection on the pain of unreciprocated love and the journey towards self-realization and acceptance.
