The Crash of Angel Wings
Crash of Angel Wings: A Symphony of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Here she comes
Anticipation of someone's arrival
Like rumbling drums
Her approach is powerful and impactful
Swinging her skirts
Her movement is graceful, possibly metaphorical
And talking in spurts
Speaking quickly and intermittently
Sailing high
Metaphor for feeling elated or free
In her ship of the sky
Imagery of being in a majestic or elevated state
Being found
Discovery or revelation of vulnerability
Broken on the ground
Experiencing a shattered or defeated state
But when she sings
Her singing has a profound impact
I hear the crash of angel wings
Suggests a divine or celestial quality to her voice
When she sings I hear the crash of wings
Reiteration of the impact of her singing
On Sundays she walks
Engaging in challenging situations
On cut glass and rocks
Walking through difficulties or hardships
On Monday she falls
Facing a sudden downfall or failure
From the sheerest of walls
Falling from a great height, metaphorically or literally
On Tuesday she screams
Expressing distress or fear
Black words in her dreams
Nightmares or troubling thoughts
On Friday she lies
Experiencing emotional pain or loss
And a part of her dies
Suggesting emotional or spiritual decline
But when she sings
Reiteration of the impact of her singing
I hear the crash of angel wings
Emphasizing the divine or celestial nature of her singing
When she sings I hear the crash of wings
Repetition for emphasis on the impact of her singing
Here she comes
Reintroduction of her arrival
Like rumbling drums
Similar description to line 2, reinforcing impact
She's swinging her skirts
Reiteration of her graceful movement
She's talking in spurts
Reiteration of her intermittent speech
Now she's reading my books
Engagement with intellectual or personal aspects of someone else's life
Now she's giving me looks
Expressing interest or desire
As she slips and sways
Moving through days filled with subdued conversation or noise
Through murmering days
Describing a subtle or subdued existence
And when she sings
Reiteration of the impact of her singing
I hear the crash of angel wings
Emphasizing the divine or celestial nature of her singing
When she sings
Repetition for emphasis on the impact of her singing
I hear the crash of angel wings
-When she sings I hear the crash of wings
-Here she comes
Reintroduction of her arrival
Like rumbling drums
Similar description to line 2, reinforcing impact
Here she comes
Reintroduction of her arrival
Like rumbling drums
Similar description to line 2, reinforcing impact
Like rumbling drums
Repetition emphasizing the powerful arrival
Like rumbling drums
