Angel on Hiatus
Unraveling Despair: Benton Falls' Poetic Reflection on Broken Promises and Lost Wings
Lyrics
It's come to this.
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment of a current situation or state.
I swear this time my heart won't miss.
Committing to a genuine effort or promise, particularly regarding matters of the heart.
I've clinched these fists for far too long.
Describing a prolonged period of internal tension or emotional strain.
A broken house.
Referring to a shattered or damaged home, symbolizing broken relationships.
With gates made from broken promises.
The gates, representing commitments, are built from unfulfilled promises.
But nobody's home.
Indicating emotional emptiness or a sense of abandonment.
So here I sit.
Reflecting on the current situation and contemplating one's existence.
It's the light that wakes me.
The awakening is associated with a metaphorical light, possibly truth or realization.
But the time that breaks me down.
Time is described as both the cause of breakdowns and a force wearing down the individual.
Like water drops.
Comparing the impact of time to the relentless and consistent nature of water drops.
Why won't this stop.
Expressing frustration or desperation for a persistent situation to end.
Dripping on my halo.
Describing the continuous impact of negative experiences on the speaker's angelic nature.
These angel wings of mine.
The speaker's angelic qualities, possibly purity or goodness.
They haven't seen the light in weeks.
Highlighting a period of darkness or difficulty in the speaker's life.
Let alone fly.
The inability to rise above challenges or experience joy.
It's got me down.
Expressing a state of emotional low or sadness due to circumstances.
And who's gonna save me from falling to the ground.
Pleading for someone or something to prevent a metaphorical fall or failure.
You might as well finish me.
Expressing vulnerability and a willingness to accept a decisive end.
Grab with both hands.
Invoking a sense of violence or self-harm as a response to inner turmoil.
And rip out these wings.
Symbolizing a drastic and irreversible decision to remove sources of pain or burden.
Now watch me fall.
Conveying the consequences and aftermath of the drastic decision.
