She Talks To Angels
Whispers with Angels: Unveiling Hidden Pain in The Black Crowes' Melody
Lyrics
She never mentions the word addiction
She avoids acknowledging the term 'addiction' in specific social circles.
In certain company
Especially when in certain company.
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
She claims to be an orphan.
After you meet her family
But discloses her true family after you've met them.
She paints her eyes as black as night now
She applies dark eye makeup.
Pulls those shades down tight
Closes her blinds tightly.
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes
She smiles in the face of pain, finding solace in it.
The pain gonna make everything alright
Believing that pain will bring resolution to everything.
Says she talks to angels
She claims to communicate with angels.
They call her out by her name
They supposedly know her by name.
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
She insists on talking to angels.
Says they call her out by her name
Asserting that they address her by name.
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She keeps a lock of hair, possibly symbolic, in her pocket.
She wears a cross around her neck
Wears a cross, possibly symbolic, around her neck.
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
The hair is from a young boy.
And the cross from someone she has not met, well, not yet
The cross is from someone she hasn't met yet.
Says she talks to angels
She continues to claim communication with angels.
Says they all know her name
Insisting that they all know her name.
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Reiterating that angels call her by name.
Says they call her out by her name
Stating they call her out by her name.
She don't know no lover
She claims to be devoid of any true lover.
None that I ever seen
No one fitting that description has been observed by the speaker.
Yeah, to her that ain't nothing
For her, the absence of love seems inconsequential.
But to me it means, means everything
But for the speaker, it holds significant meaning.
She paints her eyes as black as night now
She repeats the ritual of dark eye makeup.
She pulls those shades down tight
Again, closing her blinds tightly.
Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes
Smiling in the face of pain, finding comfort in it.
The pain gonna make everything alright, alright yeah
Believing that pain will eventually make everything right.
She talks to angels
Reiterating her claim of talking to angels.
Says they call her out by her name
Insisting that they call her by name.
Oh yeah, angels
Angels are again mentioned.
Call her out by her name
Repeating that angels call her out by her name.
Oh-oh, angel
Expressing the word "angel" in a melodic manner.
They call her out by her name
Reiterating that angels call her by name.
Oh, she talks to angels
Emphasizing her communication with angels.
They call her out, yeah, yeah
Angels continue to call her by name.
Call her out
Repetition of the call from angels.
Don't you know that they call her out by her name
Stating again that angels call her by name.
