20 Angels
Journey through Shadows: Unveiling Life's Fears in '20 Angels'
Lyrics
I've seen twenty angels
I have witnessed twenty angels.
Fling themselves from a staircase
They threw themselves from a staircase.
Yet only one fell into the ocean
However, only one of them fell into the ocean.
The rest they weren't so feeble
The others were not weak or feeble.
Meanwhile he had to dare face
Meanwhile, someone had to confront and endure
His one and only horrified reflection
His own horrified reflection, which is unique and singular.
Where do we go from here
Questioning the direction forward.
Nobody knows their own fears but themselves
No one truly understands their fears except themselves.
I set fifteen cars on fire
I intentionally set fifteen cars on fire.
Right here on the highway
Right here on the highway.
High on the gas I used to ignite them
I used a flammable substance to ignite them.
My, oh my, my heart's so tired
Expressing weariness and emotional exhaustion.
Quite timid as the sky grays
Feeling shy or hesitant as the sky lightens.
Pupils dilated, sightless as my eyes dim
Pupils dilated, losing sight, and becoming blind metaphorically.
Where do we go from here
Reiterating the uncertainty about the future.
Nobody knows their own fears but themselves
No one truly understands their fears except themselves.
Well I've done tried to run away
Despite attempts to escape.
But every time I try
However, every effort results in the same outcome.
It comes back the same day
The problem persists, returning consistently.
Even if I try to run and hide
Even if I attempt to flee and conceal.
Well if I die
If I were to die.
It follows me to my grave
These fears accompany me even to my grave.
It's just so pointless to be livin' and tryin'
Contemplating the futility of living and striving.
But even more so to just give in and be dyin' as well
But surrendering and succumbing to death seems even more pointless.
Hey (Ay)
Expression of exasperation or calling attention.
Where do we go from here
Questioning the path forward again.
Nobody knows their own fears but themselves
No one truly understands their fears except themselves.
