About This Track

'Angels' closes Khalid's 2017 album 'American Teen', a track composed by the singer alongside Alfredo Gonzalez and Joshua Scruggs. The production stays minimal, leaving space for Khalid's unhurried vocal and the song's central image: spectral presences offering comfort during a period of strain. The lyric adopts a tone of quiet resilience. Khalid describes celestial visitors who 'give me strength', their presence a counterweight to tears and trouble. The repetition of the title word in the final third becomes a mantra, the reassurance looping until it settles. The fragility is acknowledged but not dwelt upon; the song prefers to hold onto the idea of support, however abstract, rather than catalogue the difficulty that prompted it.

"Angels" is a track by Khalid, from the album American Teen, released 3rd March 2017. The track is 2:51 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Khalid.

Lyrics

Angels

I've been seeing angels
In my living room
That have walked the sun
And have slept on the moon
Covered in the fragrance
Of their own perfume
Telling me the stories
Stories coming true
Well you see these angels
These angels see the light
Yeah I had my troubles
Troubles, all right
I've been seeing angels
Oh no

They'll hold onto their secrets
And tone our memories
We float above horizons
And sail across the seas
I hope for better days
And lightly times are tough
The angels give me strength
And I'm not giving up
So I wipe away my tears
I unveil my pain
They're brushing off my shoulders
And I hold on to their stain
I've been seeing angels

Angels
Angels
Angels
Angels
Angels
Angels, ayy
Angels
