Amistades Peligrosas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tú salvaste mi vida
El peso del horror injustamente cae
Fue una catástrofe
Pero allí estabas tú, curando mis heridas

Penetró en mi una luz
Me llamó por mi, allí ante toda la gente
why como un espíritu

Me llenó de tí, nunca tendremos suficiente sin él

Angelus, Angelus
como si fueras un angel...
Angelus, Angelus
como si fueras un angel...

Yo te salvé María,
tu fuiste la elegida entre las demás
siempre he estado a tu lado,aquí
cuidando de los dos, no hay nuevas víctimas

No, No te tocaba a tí
Todavía no, tu no serás la siguiente
No, No te tocaba a tí
Todavía no, nunca tendremos suficiente sin él

Angelus, Angelus
como si fueras un angel

Angelus, Angelus
como si fueras un angel...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amistades Peligrosas's song Angelus speak about salvation and hope. The songwriter talks about being in a dark place during a catastrophic moment in life when he was saved by someone who appeared to be like an angel. The weight of the horror that unjustly fell on him was lifted, and this person came to heal his wounds. He talks about how this experience brought him light and how this savior filled him entirely. In the second verse, the song seems to transition to a dialogue where Maria is telling the singer how she saved him, and she promises to stay by his side while protecting both of them from future harm. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that he wasn't the one who was due for salvation but thanking the angel for the rescue.

Overall, it appears that the song's authors crafted the lyrics to remind listeners that even when life seems unbearable and overwhelming, salvation is close by, and healing can happen through the kindness of others. No matter how unprepared people like the singer may feel for catastrophes, they can still be protected and driven out of their darkness. The song is a powerful expression of gratitude to someone who spared them.
