Angel
Aerosmith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What ya gonna do when the angel's come
Ya move on; can't move them
I'm gonna get your kicks from the 911
It's moving; so soothing

Your passions deplete, it's just looking to feed
Your own fantasy
The blind side of you is a bad dream come true
That you can't see

From an Angel's Eye
Kiss Your Life Goodbye
From An Angel's Eye
Ain't no place to hide

Tell me what you see through an Angel's Eye
The halo; on fire
You never really know till it's do or die
Your devil's desire

Your running in place like a rat in a race
Going no where
The evil you speaks from the tongue of the freaks
So don't go there

From an Angel's Eye
Kiss Your Life Goodbye
From An Angel's Eye
Ain't no place to hide

What ya gonna do when the angel's come
What ya gonna do when you come undone
I'm gonna get your kicks from the 911
Ya so bad; can't hold them

From an Angel's Eye
Kiss your life goodbye
From an angel angel angel's eye
Ain't no place to hide

Fallen Angel




Fallen Angel
Fallen Angeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

Lyrics

I'm alone
Yeah, I don't know if
I can face the night
I'm in tears,
And the crying that I do is for you

I want your love -
Let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough -
I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough,
I've suffered and I've seen the light
Baby

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

Don't know what I'm going to do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true -
Loneliness took me for a ride

Without your love -
I'm nothing but a begger
Without your love -
A dog without a bone
What can I do?
I'm sleeping in this bed alone

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right

Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight

Lost my dad at 14. Cirrhosis. He went to extreme lengths to avoid any of us knowing he was ill.
He began to bleed out of everywhere on Halloween 1998 and went into a coma. They tried to fix him but he was hemophiliac and kept bleeding out.

I was brought in to say goodbye on November 23rd,’98.
He passed on the 24th.

I miss my dad. He was the most beautiful man I have ever seen. He wrote and he knew music better than anyone. I got his vinyl.
I played this song on repeat-it’s not a song about loss but it fit for me-for two weeks.

Anyway-love you dad. I miss you everyday.
