Khalid appeals to the image of angels to illustrate divine intervention in his life. In his times of despair, the angels help him get by – now that he knows they’re there, he’s confident that they’ll help him find “better days.”
Angels Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
They'll hold onto their secrets
And torn up 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
[Outro]

How did one of Khalid's high school friends partially inspire this song?
We met senior year of high school. He’s the one that told me to push for a career in music. He’s the one who told me I could do this. He’s the one who picked me up when people told me I couldn’t. It’s about people like that, who are constantly around me and there to make sure I’m always OK.
How does "Angels" fit into the storyline of the 'American Teen' album?
“Shot Down” is death. “Angels” is rebirth. “American Teen” is the dream. And the rest of the album is reality. And then also, “Shot Down” is the end of the day. “Angels” is the beginning stages of sleep. “American Teen” is like I’m getting ready to wake up. Toward the end of “Angels,” you hear an al...
