Angels
Robbie Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one-way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

Line by Line Meaning

I sit and wait
I contemplate my life and future


Does an angel contemplate my fate?
I wonder if there is someone looking out for me and guiding me in life


And do they know
Do angels have knowledge of what I go through in life?


The places where we go
The different experiences we have as humans


When we're grey and old
In our old age when we have more experience and knowledge


'Cause I have been told
Because people have told me


That salvation lets their wings unfold
Angels are there to help us when we need salvation


So when I'm lying in my bed
When I am alone and troubled


Thoughts running through my head
Ruminating on my fears and doubts


And I feel the love is dead
When I lose hope and love in my life


I'm loving angels instead
I turn to the idea of angels for comfort and support


And through it all she offers me protection
The angel offers me safety and guidance throughout my life


A lot of love and affection
The angel provides me with a lot of support and care


Whether I'm right or wrong
Regardless of my actions or beliefs


And down the waterfall
Facing difficult challenges head-on


Wherever it may take me
No matter where life leads me


I know that life won't break me
I have confidence in my ability to withstand tough times


When I come to call, she won't forsake me
The angel will always be there for me when I need her


I'm loving angels instead
I rely on the comfort and support from the idea of angels


When I'm feeling weak
During times of vulnerability and fragility


And my pain walks down a one-way street
When I feel like I have no control over my suffering


I look above
I seek spiritual and emotional upliftment


And I know I'll always be blessed with love
I have faith that I will always be loved


And as the feeling grows
My faith and my love for the angels grows stronger


She breathes flesh to my bones
The angel restores vitality and strength to me


And when love is dead
When I feel like I have lost all love and support in my life


I'm loving angels instead
I turn to the idea of angels for comfort and support

@theharshtruthoutthere

The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.

In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.

The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
