Tower
Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I sure want to
You thought you'd never leave the country on your own
We should meet up soon
If that's not asking anything from you
You're the devil
I see right through you
I want to know you
If that's not asking anything from you
I tried to be the thing they wanted, so
I smiled and struck a pose
But we got more than we bargained for
More than anyone will know
So I can't love you
Although I want to
But you deserve somebody who will treat it right
I want to know you
If that's not asking anything from you
If that's not asking anything from you
If that's not asking anything from you
The lyrics to Angel's song "Tower" speak to the complicated emotions of love and desire. The first verse addresses the singer's desire for someone they cannot love, perhaps due to circumstances or personal reasons, but they still yearn for that person's presence. The second verse, however, reveals a darker side to the emotions expressed. The singer identifies their attraction to someone they also describe as a devil, someone they see right through, and someone who brings out their destructive side. Despite this knowledge, the desire to know this person still persists.
The chorus reveals a sense of self-awareness and respect for the other person. The singer acknowledges that they cannot love this person as they deserve to be loved, but they still want to know them. The final lines of the song reveal a sense of vulnerability in the singer, asking for connection without asking too much.
In essence, "Tower" expresses the complexity of human emotion, how love and desire can sometimes be at odds, and the pain that can often come with these conflicting emotions.

I can't love you
I am unable to love you
But I sure want to
But I have a strong desire to do so
You thought you'd never leave the country on your own
You did not think you would ever travel outside the country alone
We should meet up soon
We should make plans to see each other in the near future
If that's not asking anything from you
If that is not too much to ask of you
You're the devil
You are deceitful or immoral
I see right through you
I can see your true intentions or nature
But a Leo always brought out my destructive side
But someone with the zodiac sign Leo always seemed to trigger me to behave in a harmful way
I want to know you
I desire to understand who you are
I tried to be the thing they wanted, so
I attempted to conform to the expectations of others, thus
I smiled and struck a pose
I presented a false image of myself
But we got more than we bargained for
But the outcome was more overwhelming than we anticipated
More than anyone will know
More than anyone else can comprehend
Although I want to
Even though I desire to
But you deserve somebody who will treat it right
But you deserve a person who will respect and care for you properly
If that's not asking anything from you
If that is not too much to request of you
I want to know you
I desire to understand who you are
If that's not asking anything from you
If that is not too much to ask of you
If that's not asking anything from you
If that is not too much to ask of you

Wind is raw, the air is stale
On this cold winter's night
Sent alone to tell a tale
From the land of Delmite
Journey starts at the edge of town
With the stars as my guide
There's no one here but my empty thoughts
And the sword by my side
Chorus:
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Sun is leaving the darkened clouds,
As it slips past the hills
Slow moon climbs way up in the sky,
Keeps the heavens so still
Come this far, though I know not why
Said the things I've been told
Greedy village that has sent me here
For its own pot of gold
Chorus:
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Everywhere the wind did sail,
The castle lies just ahead
Blade is drawn, still I carry on
On my brow a cold sweat.
As I look there upon the hill,
There it stands so tall
Said that stone structured wall of gold,
Will heed the voice of us all.
Chorus:
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Just a light, from a tower
Burning on from dusk to dawn
Just a light, from a tower
Stands the victor and his gold,
And that's all!!!

Thanks for posting this hq version
Yes I'm old and I remember seeing them open for Humble Pie twice on the same tour
Excellent live performances were given by all parties!
Steve Marriott sat on the edge of the stage and they played about 6 songs over 70 minutes and just wrecked the house.
Frank Marino then killed everyone else who was still standing!!
Some lovely lighting effects and showmanship. That's all that was needed
Thanks again for posting this. I'm gonna watch the live version next!!

@Valdan Films Gene Simmons
Angel was discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons performing at a nightclub and was eventually signed to the same label as Kiss, Casablanca. Angel's image of dressing in all white was a deliberate contrast to Kiss, which wore black.Angel sported an androgynous image and elaborate stage sets.

Killer album I recently rediscovered from almost 50 years ago. These guys are still rocking in their 70's. They were on the same label with KISS. I know I'll catch crap for this, but I think they had more talent. Sorry army.
Jerry Johnson
I love Kiss but I agree with you.
Alexandre Hebert
Kiss were not in the same LEAGUE as Angel!!!!
Randy Hibbs
@Alexandre Hebert I agree 100%. Although Gene Simmons got them signed, he said they would not open for KISS. He knew who had the talent, LOL.

I do too. So polished!
Denise Brown
One of favorites as a teenager. This song should have made this album be in every rock loverâs collection in the 70âs. Never stops giving me goosebumps even now in my 60âs!
Louise Cuyler
Me too
Bondo Mofo
One of my favorite bands as a teen. Way underrated!
AudiophileTubes
Such a perfectly well constructed hard rock song for it's time, and even today! One of the best all time!
