Angels In The Details
Unveiling Life's Tapestry: Angels, Devils, and the Double Helix
Lyrics
I used to comb through the fine print
I used to carefully examine the details and conditions.
Triple-checking immortality
Being thorough in ensuring eternal life.
Trying to grease my demons through them gates
Attempting to outsmart my inner struggles to enter heaven.
On a technicality
Relying on technicalities to achieve salvation.
Now most days I just board this train
Nowadays, I simply embark on a journey, expecting it to go off course.
Waiting for it to derail
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life.
Some days I wish I never been born
Some days, regretting existence without delving into specifics.
Not to go into detail
Choosing not to elaborate on the desire to avoid birth.
But the angel's in the details
Focusing on the small details where angels reside.
Jesus can we call a truce
Appealing for a ceasefire with Jesus.
Cause the devil's in the double helix
Acknowledging the presence of evil in the genetic code.
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Recognizing the difficulty in overcoming inherent flaws.
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Reiteration of the challenge in overcoming inherent flaws.
Once I was a soft boy
Formerly a vulnerable individual, destroyed by a simple element.
Assassinated by a blade of grass
Reflecting on vulnerability and the need for resilience.
But you gotta be tougher than I was
Emphasizing the necessity of toughness for enduring challenges.
If you want to make that last
Survival requires greater strength than possessed in the past.
Now I'm all rawhide and fortified
Currently, toughened and prepared for immediate action.
I strike fast and first
Striking decisively and preemptively.
Sometime someone sees inside
Vulnerability intensifies when someone perceives my inner self.
It makes it that much worse
Increased difficulty due to internal revelations.
They see the angels in the details
Others see the divine aspects within the intricacies.
Jesus can we call a truce
Requesting a truce with Jesus regarding life's challenges.
For the devil's in the double helix
Acknowledging the presence of malevolence in genetic structures.
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Highlighting the persistent nature of inherent struggles.
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Reiteration of the enduring nature of internal conflicts.
So I guess bury me with this flat top guitar
If I face damnation, let me have my cherished guitar.
I go to hell I won't be there alone
Accepting the possibility of hell, preferring not to be alone.
Just let me burn with this old gold-strung rosewood
Choosing to burn alongside a beloved musical instrument.
In a halo of herringbone
In a symbolic circle of musical elements.
With these angels in the details
Angels persist in the intricacies of life.
Jesus calling off our truce
Jesus, retracting the proposed truce due to the influence of evil.
Cause the devil's in the double helix
Acknowledging the inescapable presence of malevolence in genetics.
I couldn't shake that dog a'loose
Struggling with the persistent nature of inner demons.
O' the angels in the details
Angels persistently interfere, complicating matters.
They come down gnaw at the noose
Angels attempt to disrupt the destructive path.
But the devil's in the double helix
Acknowledging the persistent influence of evil in genetics.
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Highlighting the enduring nature of internal struggles.
Y'all can't shake that dog a'loose
Collective inability to overcome inherent challenges.
I couldn't shake that dog a'loose
Acknowledging the ongoing difficulty in overcoming inner demons.
