Angel
Whispers of Innocence: Current 93's Angel Unveiled
Lyrics
Well hello angel
Greeting to an angelic figure
A gift and a smile
A symbolic offering and a joyful expression
Well hello angel
Repetition of the initial greeting
As we walk a mile
Shared journey or experience for a considerable distance
And a twisted man
An individual with a distorted nature
Leans on twisted sticks
The distorted individual relying on unstable support
With children's laughter
The presence of innocent joy, contrasted with the preceding imagery
Hanging on swings
Innocent laughter connected to swings, possibly symbolizing carefree childhood
Well hello angel
Reiteration of the angelic greeting
And the skipping rope turns
A playful activity, the skipping rope, suggesting a childlike atmosphere
Whilst little bodies twist
Physical contortions or distortions in the context of child's play
In caroused curves
A description of the curves formed during the playful activities
Well hello angel
Repetition of the angelic greeting
At the end of your tether
Expression of reaching a limit or breaking point
Well hello angel
Reiteration of the angelic greeting, possibly with a different nuance
Time for sleep
Indication of the need for rest or respite
Well hello angel
Repetition of the angelic greeting
Time to cry
Emotional release, suggesting a time to express sadness
That which is falling should also be pushed
A philosophical statement on the natural course of falling objects
That which is crawling should also be crushed
A stark statement, possibly metaphorical, on dealing with vulnerable entities
