退屈しのぎの
くだらない約束が続く
絶望を知った
貴方とのささやかな日々
小生意気な態度も
可愛げない口調も
虚勢だと許そう
曖昧な関係で
このまま このまま
気が済むまでは側にいるから
Take me higher
Take me higher
眠れない夜に
震えては繰り返す誓い
こわくなしぐさで
乱しても落ちない貴方
目の前の幸せに
背を向けて目指す闇
愚かで愛おしい
Fallen Angel Fallen Angel
愛情は無い予定
Call me my name
Call me my name
貴方のせいで何かが変わる
Take me higher
壊れた時間 冷えた心さえ
少し動いた
計算だらけ 無邪気な笑顔に
振り回される
でも

曖昧な関係で
このまま このまま
気が済むまでは側にいるから
Going Under Going Under
わからない感情が
増えてく増えてく
貴方といると何かが変わる
Fallen Angel Take me higher
Fallen Angel Take me higher
The lyrics to Akira's song "Fallen Angel" describe a sense of dissatisfaction and despair in a mundane, unfulfilling existence. The singer is caught in a cycle of meaningless promises and copes by adopting a rebellious attitude and dismissive tone. The lyrics suggest that the singer has found comfort in a relationship with someone who offers a temporary respite from their troubles. The ambiguous nature of this relationship is acknowledged, but it provides a source of stability and comfort in an otherwise bleak life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Fallen Angel" almost like a mantra. This could be interpreted in a couple of ways. Firstly, the singer may be addressing the person they are in a relationship with as a "fallen angel", implying that they too are struggling and in need of support. Alternatively, the "fallen angel" could be a metaphor for the singer themselves or for the relationship they are in, suggesting that they are both damaged in some way but still have value and beauty.
The lyrics also touch on themes of fear and uncertainty, as the singer admits to being afraid but still wants to be with this person who brings them some measure of happiness. The repeated phrases "Take me higher" and "Call me my name" could be interpreted as a desire to be lifted out of their current situation and given a sense of purpose and identity.
