Dark Angel
ALLFLAWS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The dark angel so beautifully twisted, beaming outside with insides blistered,
This gleaming fear with the diamond tears, shining the pain of the damaged past,
The jewels of suffering shine so bright, a guiding light to the weak,
So they can see deep into the samsara, follow karma into the life after,
After this, war of minds, fear subsides there's peace inside,
A different kind, reborn, revived, there's fire in the eyes, strength to survive,
The blistering burns that scar these wings, the demonic turns that severe these dreams.
Falling from above, crashing to the ground,
Falling from above but never staying down.

Down,
Screaming down from the aching skies,
Screaming,
Down,
Ready to face the chaos realm, here it comes,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls.

The angels cry the purest pain, the purest pain, heavens rain,
The angels cry the purest pain, the purest pain, heavens rain,
The angels cry the purest pain, the purest pain, heavens rain
The purest cure, tears from the skies, angels pain, heavens rain,
Pouring down, cleansing the wounds, the spirit repairs the soul gets soothed,
And reinforced for what's coming next, another curse, a vex, a hidden threat,
Coming from the cracks where the weak attack,
But they can always be seen in the dreams of angels,
Who spot the demise, the dark of surprise, so try and hide from knowing eyes.

Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Taking bullets from the devils gun,
Down,
Ripping them out one by one.

One by one.

Falling from above, crashing to the ground, falling from above but never staying down.

Wise to the ways of the cruelest fate, the blood of faith decorates the angles face,
With the cuts of the past and the marks of hope,
For the ones who come after and need to cope,
And gain belief from the withering flowers,
That grow again from heavens rain,
Grow again from angels pain.

Down,
Ready to face the chaos realm,
Down
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Coming back stronger the wounded saviour,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,
Taking bullets from the devils gun,
Down,
Ripping them out one by one,
Down,
Bleeding from the blistered skies,
Down,
Taking the blows for millions of souls,
Down,




Millions of souls, millions of souls,
Down.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ALLFLAWS's song "Dark Angel" speak of a character who is beautifully twisted, with damaged insides that are hidden behind a façade of radiance. The pain of the character's past shines through, illuminated by tears that resemble diamond jewels. The character's suffering becomes a guiding light for the weak, leading them into the afterlife through the cycle of karma. Eventually, the character finds peace within themselves, revitalized and reborn. Their scars - physical and emotional - are a testament to the strength and prioritization of others' well-being over their own. Their suffering cleanses them and allows them to persevere, taking hits while others reap the rewards of their survival.


The theme of heavenly beings or angelic creatures is present throughout the entire song. The concept of salvation and self-sacrifice emphasizes the importance of individuals putting others above themselves. The idea of falling from above is present in the song as a motif, revealing how the "dark angel" character has gone through hardship, experienced the pain of becoming disconnected from the heavens, but ultimately persevered.
