The Angels Hung Around
Echoes of Redemption: A Journey Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
I've been had, and I've been held with the ghosts at bay.
I've experienced deception and been in challenging situations while keeping the ghosts at a distance.
And I've been noped, and I've been doped and carried away.
I've faced rejection, been influenced by drugs, and taken away against my will.
I've been chared, and I've been scared on my own face,
I've been emotionally scarred and frightened, confronting my own identity.
But I never thought I'd see you as I did today.
Unexpectedly encountering you in a way I never anticipated today.
Til the angels hung around
Repeated chorus expressing a transformative experience with the presence of angels carrying the speaker away.
Til the angels hung around
-Til the angels hung around
-As they carried me away
-I've been clubbed, and I've been snubbed by the dogs of L.A.
Experienced mistreatment and disregard from the people in Los Angeles.
And I've been burned, and I've been learned in the same city.
Undergone hardships and learned lessons in the same city.
I've been whored and I've been gored; I've been less and I've been more,
Experienced exploitation and harm, going through both positive and negative states.
But I never thought I'd see you as I did today.
Encountering the unexpected sight of you today.
Til the angels hung around
Repeated chorus reflecting a transformative experience with angels carrying the speaker away.
Til the angels hung around
-Til the angels hung around
-As they carried me away
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
Additional vocal expressions, possibly emphasizing emotional intensity or urgency.
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
-You were stuck in the bad lands, acting like a bad, bad man.
You were stuck in a difficult situation, behaving in a morally questionable manner.
I've been photographed and painted up, and I've been in love only once.
The speaker has been exposed through media and portrayed, having experienced love only once.
And I've feared the best and loved the worst, and insisted that I go first,
Faced conflicting emotions, preferred the best, endured the worst, and insisted on taking the lead.
And watched your eyes as they poured, and I never really loved you more,
Witnessed the emotional impact on you, realizing a deep love despite difficulties.
But I never thought I'd see you as I did today.
Unexpectedly witnessing you today in a way that intensifies feelings.
Til the angels hung around
Repeated chorus indicating a transformative experience with angels carrying the speaker away.
Til the angels hung around
-Til the angels hung around
-As they carried you away
-And they put you in the ground
Describes the eventual outcome of being put in the ground with angels lingering around as both speaker and the person referred to are carried away.
And the angels hung around
-And the angels hung around
-As they carried me away
