Angel on My Side
Embracing Redemption: A Journey from Darkness to Light
Lyrics
There was a time when the clocks all stopped
Describing a period when time seemed to stand still.
When the world just went away,
Expressing a sense of detachment from the world.
I didn't know if it was night or day.
Feeling disoriented, unsure of the time of day or night.
I didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky,
Uncertainty about the state of the world, using metaphorical language.
I didn't want to live if I could die.
Expressing a desire for escape from life's difficulties.
Somewhere down the line I found myself up on that road,
Reflecting on a personal journey, possibly a difficult one.
Where the devil led me, I would go.
Willingness to follow a destructive path suggested by the devil.
I had sold my soul for pleasure,
Having sacrificed moral values for temporary pleasure.
Thinkin' it would last,
Mistaken belief that pleasure would bring lasting happiness.
All my hopes had vanished in the past.
Regret over lost hopes and dreams from the past.
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark,
Feeling lost and vulnerable, like a child in darkness.
Driftin' away with the tide.
Being carried away by life's challenges.
God only knows how I made it back home.
Grateful acknowledgment of divine intervention or guidance.
I must have an angel on my side.
Expressing a belief in having a guardian angel.
In the mornin' I'd wake up and shake my weary head,
Waking up with a sense of confusion and regret.
Wonder where I'd been and what I'd said.
Reflecting on past actions and their consequences.
Was I on the River Styx for all eternity?
Contemplating the possibility of an eternal struggle or suffering.
Would I drown forever in the sea?
Fearing a never-ending struggle or hardship.
Why did anyone keep livin', what was there to find?
Questioning the purpose of life and the motivation to continue living.
I wanted just a little peace of mind.
Desiring peace of mind amidst life's challenges.
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark,
Reiteration of feeling lost and vulnerable.
Driftin' away with the tide.
Continuation of the metaphor of being adrift in life.
God only knows how I made it back home.
Reaffirmation of divine assistance in finding the way home.
I must have an angel on my side.
Never had a flash of lightnin' comin' right at me,
Not expecting sudden, transformative events.
One day I just know I woke up free.
Realization of newfound freedom or liberation.
The day was breakin', I was livin',
Describing a positive shift in perspective and life.
I couldn't tell you why,
Uncertainty about the reasons behind positive changes.
First I laughed and then I learned to cry.
Experiencing a range of emotions, including joy and sorrow.
Somethin' in my heart was sayin' you can reach the sky,
Believing in the potential for personal growth and achievement.
You just gotta live until you die.
Encouragement to persevere and live life to the fullest.
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark,
Reiteration of feeling lost and vulnerable.
Driftin' away with the tide.
Continuation of the metaphor of being adrift in life.
God only knows how I made it back home.
Reaffirmation of divine assistance in finding the way home.
I must have an angel on my side.
I must have an angel,
Emphasizing the belief in having a guardian angel.
I must have an angel,
I must have an angel on my side.
Reiteration of the belief in having a guardian angel.
