Angel
Embracing Angelic Love: Exploring the Depths of Salvation
Lyrics
I sit and wait
I am patiently waiting.
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
Is there a divine being contemplating my destiny?
And do they know the places where we go
Do these angels know the destinations we visit in our later years?
When we're gray and old?
Reference to the later stages of life, suggesting old age.
'Cause I've been told
Refers to the belief that salvation allows angelic protection.
That salvation lets their wings unfold
Implies that salvation unfolds angelic support.
So when I'm lying in my bed
Describes lying in bed with thoughts on the mind.
Thoughts running through my head
Thoughts are racing through the person's mind.
And I feel that love is dead
Senses a lack of love or emotional connection.
I'm loving angels instead
Expresses a preference for the love of angels.
And through it all she offers me protection
Someone (possibly an angel) offers protection and love.
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
Regardless of being right or wrong, unconditional love is given.
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
Symbolic journey down a waterfall representing life's challenges.
I know that life won't break me
Confidence that life's challenges won't overcome the person.
When I come to call she won't forsake me
Assurance that when called upon, the protector won't abandon.
I'm loving angels instead
Reiteration of preferring angelic love over other forms.
When I'm feeling weak
Expresses vulnerability or emotional weakness.
And my pain walks down a one way street
Pain is described as walking down a one-way street.
I look above
Looking to the divine for support and blessings.
And I know I'll always be blessed with love, oh
Confidence in being blessed with love from above.
And as the feeling grows
Reference to the growth of a positive feeling.
She breathes flesh to my bones
Metaphorical breathing life into the person.
And I feel that love is dead
Reiteration of the perception of love being absent.
I'm loving angels instead
Continued preference for angelic love.
And through it all she offers me protection
Repeated theme of receiving protection and unconditional love.
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
Emphasizes the unconditional nature of the offered love.
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
Symbolic journey through life's challenges.
I know that life won't break me
Belief that life's challenges won't be overpowering.
When I come to call she won't forsake me
Assurance that the protector won't abandon during challenges.
I'm loving angels instead
Reiteration of choosing angelic love over other forms.
Through it all she offers me protection
Repeating the theme of receiving protection and unconditional love.
A lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong
Emphasizes the unconditional nature of the offered love.
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me
Symbolic journey through life's challenges.
I know that life won't break me
Belief that life's challenges won't be overpowering.
When I come to call she won't forsake me
Assurance that the protector won't abandon during challenges.
I'm loving angels instead, oh
Final affirmation of choosing angelic love over other forms.
I'm loving angels instead
Reiteration of preferring angelic love over other forms.
