05 Angel Dust
Aaron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dirty hands on skinny arms
Just hanging down her shoulders
Like a deadly young old tree
And a bit of blood rollin', gently down her nose
On the floor the princess, strikes the pose
Say goodbye to angel dust
The only angel that you trust
Doin? stuff that she can't stand
Opening doors don't want to see
And closing one she wanna be
Broken wings by the real world
Princess diving on her own,
On the floor the princess, strikes the pose
Say goodbye to angel dust
The only angel that you trust
The floor is cold
Her blood too hot
The pain could go
Just with one shot
Sleep little princess
One last caress
One last pearl of blood
Rollin on your world
So slow
She almost touches
The rainbow
Sometimes I do wonder
The lyrics of Aaron's song Angel Dust paint a vivid picture of a young woman struggling with addiction and a feeling of being trapped in her own life. The metaphor of "broken dreams of flyin birds" suggests that the young woman had dreams and aspirations that were never realized. Her dirty hands and skinny arms suggest a lack of self-care and maybe even poverty. The image of her hair hanging down her shoulders "like a deadly young old tree" hints at a sense of decay or hopelessness.
The lines "a bit of blood rollin', gently down her nose" and "on the floor the princess, strikes the pose" suggest that the young woman has just taken drugs and is now lying on the floor in a state of dazed euphoria. The repetition of the line "say goodbye to angel dust, the only angel that you trust" underscores the idea that the young woman is trapped in a cycle of addiction and that she has come to rely on drugs as a means of coping with her life.
The second half of the song shifts tone slightly, suggesting that the young woman may have overdosed on drugs and is now dying. The lines "The floor is cold, her blood too hot, the pain could go, just with one shot" suggest that she is in immense pain and suffering. The final lines "sleep little princess, one last caress, one last pearl of blood rolling on your world, so slow, she almost touches the rainbow, sometimes I do wonder" suggest that the young woman is slipping away from life and into death, and that the singer is left wondering about what led her to this point.
Line by Line Meaning
Broken dreams of flyin birds
Dreams of freedom and soaring high have been shattered
Dirty hands on skinny arms
Her physical appearance is emaciated and unkempt
Just hanging down her shoulders
Her shoulders bear the weight of her struggles and hardships
Like a deadly young old tree
Her youth has been prematurely aged by the harshness of life
And a bit of blood rollin', gently down her nose
She has suffered physical harm and is bleeding from her nose
On the floor the princess, strikes the pose
She has succumbed to her pain and collapsed on the ground
Say goodbye to angel dust
The drug she was using to escape reality is no longer serving its purpose
The only angel that you trust
The drug was her only source of comfort and refuge
Dirty fingers on her hands
She is engaging in activities that go against her values and morals
Doin? stuff that she can't stand
She is doing things she hates to survive and cope with life's challenges
Opening doors don't want to see
She is forced to confront harsh realities that she would rather ignore
And closing one she wanna be
She longs to escape her circumstances but feels trapped
Broken wings by the real world
Her aspirations and dreams have been crushed by the harshness of reality
Princess diving on her own
She is trying to attain her dreams, but is doing so alone and unsupported
The floor is cold
The reality of her pitiful state is inescapable
Her blood too hot
She is suffering both physically and emotionally
The pain could go
She wishes for an end to the suffering she is enduring
Just with one shot
She contemplates ending her life through drug overdose
Sleep little princess
She is urging herself to sleep and escape reality
One last caress
She seeks one last comforting embrace before she leaves the world
One last pearl of blood
The last drop of blood that she sheds
Rollin on your world
Her final moments are juxtaposed with the ongoing motion of the world
So slow
As though time is moving slowly and pausing for her
She almost touches
She is on the brink of touching death
The rainbow
A metaphorical representation of peace and tranquility beyond this cruel world
Sometimes I do wonder
The singer is introspective and reflecting on the complexities of life and death
