Angel
Unveiling the Emotional Symphony: Mad At Cherry's 'Angel' Revealed
Lyrics
I've been looking like a loner
The speaker has been appearing as someone who is isolated.
I've been staring at this wall
The speaker has been gazing at a wall, possibly reflecting on their situation.
But you're doing fine that's what you told them
Despite the speaker's struggles, the person they are addressing claims to be doing well.
I still have the photo that you took and it's stuck in my head nowhere else I can look
The speaker has a memorable photo taken by the person they are addressing, stuck in their mind.
Baby give me your hand
The speaker is asking for support and connection by requesting the person's hand.
Because baby, maybe I'll take a chance to show you
Expressing a willingness to take a risk to reveal emotions.
I'm a high school boy
The speaker identifies as a high school boy.
With an ice cool heart
Describing themselves as having a cool or indifferent demeanor.
Why'd you have to go ahead and make it so hard for me
The person addressed has made things difficult for the speaker.
I would catch a bullet for you
Expressing a strong commitment to the person addressed.
So let me adore you, and hold you
Requesting the opportunity to adore and hold the person addressed.
Because I am just a high school boy
Reiterating being a high school boy with a challenging start.
Off to a bad start
Admitting to a problematic beginning.
I've told you 'bout my feelings they're fucking me up, no answer
Communication about emotions has been challenging, and there's no response.
I told my momma ages ago
The speaker has confided in their mother about their emotions earlier.
I can not loose the only angel I know
The speaker cannot afford to lose the person addressed, calling them the only angel they know.
I've been listening to Purple Rain
Listening to "Purple Rain" to find words to describe feelings.
So I could find the words to finally describe it
Expressing difficulty in articulating emotions.
Can I see your smile yet
Asking to see a smile from the person addressed.
I know that what I'm feeling is real
Believing that the speaker's feelings are genuine.
And you can not even deny that all the reasons are meaningless
Asserting that reasons for feelings are significant and undeniable.
Can you open up your eyelids
Requesting the person to open their eyes to the speaker's changed self.
I'm not the same kid you knew
Stating that the speaker is no longer the same person as before.
And now I'm smoking Lucky Strikes for two
Engaging in self-destructive behavior by smoking for two.
I'm just a nobody
Expressing a sense of insignificance or anonymity.
Know you hurt me
Acknowledging being hurt by the person addressed.
But all I did was end up with the feelings you owe me
Despite being hurt, the speaker feels owed emotions.
I'm just a nobody, no
Emphasizing being a nobody.
Just a nobody, no
Reiterating the sense of insignificance.
I'm just a nobody
Continuing to assert being a nobody.
Know you hurt me
Despite being hurt, the speaker feels owed emotions.
I'm a high school boy
Reiteration of being a high school boy with a challenging demeanor.
With an ice cool heart
Describing themselves as having a cool or indifferent demeanor.
Why'd you have to go ahead and make it so hard for me
The person addressed has made things difficult for the speaker.
I would catch a bullet for you
Expressing a strong commitment to the person addressed.
So let me adore you, and hold you
Requesting the opportunity to adore and hold the person addressed.
Because I am just a high school boy
Reiterating being a high school boy with a challenging start.
Off to a bad start
Admitting to a problematic beginning.
I've told you 'bout my feelings they're fucking me up, no answer
Communication about emotions has been challenging, and there's no response.
I told my momma ages ago
