Demons and Angels
Struggle Within: Demons and Angels Battle for a Troubled Soul
Lyrics
He swore it was over
He previously declared that a particular phase of his life was concluded.
And all in his past
Referring to everything in his history.
A few hours later
Shortly afterward, he finds himself with a drink in hand.
His hand's 'round a glass
He is holding a glass, possibly indicating a return to old habits.
A voice on the left says,
A voice suggests finding solace in alcohol from the left side.
"There's peace in the wine"
Another voice from the right advises against repeating past mistakes.
From the right a voice whispers,
Conflict between the two inner voices.
"Don't do it this time"
A warning not to succumb to negative temptations.
When he looks for the answer
He searches within himself for guidance.
Down in his heart
Inner turmoil involving conflicting emotions.
Demons and angels
The struggle within him involves both negative and positive forces.
Tear him apart
The internal conflict is causing emotional distress.
She calls his name softly
His partner softly calls out to him in their shared bed.
As she lies in their bed
She listens for signs of his return and hopes for the best.
Listens for footsteps
Her anticipation and concern for his well-being.
And prays for the best
She prays for a positive outcome amid the uncertainty.
She knows that he loves her
She acknowledges his love and efforts.
Knows that he tries
Recognizes his struggles and attempts to overcome them.
But if he comes home drinking
If he returns home intoxicated, she contemplates leaving him that night.
She'll leave him tonight
A critical decision point in their relationship.
She waits for the answer and
She awaits an answer and expresses her emotional pain in solitude.
Cries in the dark
Her tears in the darkness symbolize the emotional toll.
While demons and angels
The internal struggle intensifies with both negative and positive influences.
Tear him apart
The emotional conflict continues to cause distress.
For so long they've fought for his soul
The enduring battle for his soul involves alcohol and domestic issues.
The whiskey and the woman at home
The negative influences include alcohol and a troubled relationship.
And they all know he must choose
The realization that he must make a crucial decision alone.
The winner alone
The outcome will determine the winner in this internal conflict.
There's not much that's sweeter
Highlighting the sweetness of a new beginning in contrast to the current struggle.
Than a new life begun
An acknowledgment of the bitterness of unfulfilled promises.
Ain't much that's sadder
The desire for comfort and connection in the form of her embrace.
Than a promise undone
The ongoing internal conflict is a source of deep sadness.
He stares at the bottle,
His gaze fixated on the bottle, longing for the solace it provides.
Longs for her arms
Desiring the comfort of her arms amid the internal struggle.
While demons and angels
The emotional turmoil persists with conflicting influences.
Tear him apart
Blank line, possibly emphasizing the intensity of the emotional struggle.
When he looks for the answer
The inner conflict continues to create turmoil.
Down in his heart
Acknowledging the presence of both negative and positive forces within him.
There's demons and angels
The ongoing struggle with inner demons and angels.
That tear him apart
The internal conflict continues to cause emotional distress.
