Angels
Echoes of Redemption: Unveiling the Emotions Behind 'Angels'
Lyrics
Lookin' back, the day you left
Reflecting on the past when the person left
Where you went, I can only guess
Uncertain about the destination of the departed person
Where I'll be, some other day
Contemplating the future, anticipating another day
A memory, with all I had to say
Remembering unspoken words and thoughts as a memory
You gave the love, you had to spare
Acknowledging the love given by the departed
And in return, I built an island there
Building an emotional refuge in return for the received love
When I dream, I see your face
Seeing the departed person's face in dreams
That's when we laugh, somewhere in outer space
Sharing moments of laughter in imagined outer space
The angels over me have seen me cry in agony
Angels witnessing the emotional pain and tears
The angels over me they all believe this side of me
Belief among angels in a vulnerable aspect of the speaker
Growin' up, without a cause
Recalling a youth without a clear purpose
I hear the tune, of my own applause
Hearing self-applause, possibly seeking validation
There ain't no right, when there's a wrong
Recognizing the absence of clear right or wrong
It's my mistake, I knew it all along
Admitting a mistake, acknowledging prior knowledge
I've been a fool, what's done is done
Owning up to being a fool, accepting past actions
I can't erase, and I refuse to run
Unable to erase the past and refusing to escape from it
I'm beggin' you, to please forgive
Begging for forgiveness, emphasizing sincerity
My heart is true, it's just the way I live
Expressing a truthful heart despite a flawed lifestyle
The angels over me have seen me cry in agony
Angels witnessing the speaker's emotional agony
The angels over me they all believe this side of me
Angels believing in a vulnerable side of the speaker
They've seen me cry!
Highlighting moments of crying as observed by angels
They've seen me cry!
Reiterating instances of being seen crying
They've seen me cry!
Emphasizing repeated observations of tears
The angels over me have seen me cry in agony
Angels witnessing the speaker's emotional agony again
They've seen me cry!
Reiterating instances of being seen crying
The angels over me they all believe this side of me
Angels maintaining belief in a vulnerable side of the speaker
They've seen me cry!
Emphasizing repeated observations of tears
