Angel Light
After the Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fun has gone.
And a desperate rain,
pitter patters down.
Because my angel light,
has been burnt out.
And some might say,
It may never reignite.
Won't someone,
Light my angel light?
Won't someone,
Light my angel light?
It feels old inside.
The fun has gone.
And a desperate rain,
pitter patters down.
Because my angel light,
has been burnt out.
And some might say,
It may never reignite.
Won't someone,
Light my angel light?
Won't someone,
Light my angel light?
Won't someone,
Light my angel light?
Won't someone,
Light my angel light?
My light.
My light.
You'd whisper words into my ear.
and take away all my fear.
And now that you're not breathing
It's hard to keep believing.
You'd whisper words into my ear.
and take away all my fear.
And now that you're not breathing
It's hard to keep believing.
You'd whisper words into my ear.
and take away all my fear.
And now that you're not breathing
It's hard to keep believing.
It's hard to keep believing.
It's hard to keep believing.
It's hard to keep believing.
It's hard to keep believing.
The lyrics to After the Fall's song "Angel Light" are poetic and emotive, expressing a sense of loss and longing. The repeated lines "It feels old inside, the fun has gone" set a melancholic tone, suggesting a feeling of boredom or disinterest in life. This is compounded by the image of "desperate rain pitter pattering down," which creates a sense of gloom and isolation.
The central metaphor of the song is the "angel light" which has been "burnt out," suggesting the loss of hope or inspiration. The singer calls out for someone to "light my angel light," pleading for someone to help him reignite his passion for life. The final lines, "you'd whisper words into my ear and take away all my fear, and now that you're not breathing it's hard to keep believing," suggest that the loss of the person who once brought light and inspiration to the singer has left him feeling lost and alone.
Overall, "Angel Light" is a poignant and introspective song that captures the pain of loss and the struggle to find hope and meaning in life. The repetition of certain lines creates a hypnotic effect, while the vivid imagery and metaphorical language give the song a powerful emotional impact.
