Lyrics

Well come tell me your story

Invitation to share personal stories

I'll tell you mine

Reciprocal offer to share the speaker's own story

Sunday morning communion

Reference to a religious gathering or ritual on a Sunday morning

Standing in a line

Being part of a queue or line during the communion

Feeling like a cannibal

Feeling metaphorically predatory or morally conflicted

Eating flesh and drinking blood

Symbolic consumption of human flesh and blood (metaphorical reference)

Diguised as wine

Disguised consumption presented as something noble or acceptable


I know someday we're gonna see

Belief in a future moment of transformation or revelation

Wings spring out from your shoulders

Imagery of angelic transformation or spiritual awakening

What kind of being are you

Questioning the nature or identity of the listener


For there are moments upon moments

Emphasis on passing moments or time

Upon moments

Repetition to highlight the passage of time

When you hardly seem to walk the earth

Observation of the listener's ethereal or otherworldly presence

And I realize I've spent my whole life searching

Realization of a lifelong quest for an ethereal being (angel)

Searching for an angel

Expressing the ongoing search for an angelic figure

For an angel (you're an angel)

Confirmation of the listener's angelic nature


So come tell me your story

Repetition of invitation to share personal stories

I'll tell you all

Reaffirmation of willingness to reciprocate sharing

Looking at rococo statues

Observation of elaborate and ornate artistic works

And paintings on the wall

Portrayal of heavenly or divine figures in art

Sitting up there high and mighty

Questioning the nature of a perceived paradise or torment

Was this eden was this hell

Desire for understanding or clarification

I had to know

Expression of curiosity or need for knowledge
