Parasomnia
Angels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The faces of passengers
Looks like they're in pain
Everyone with the caliber
A gun with the same
What a wonderful place
This is my kind of place
The song Parasomnia by Angels is a reflection on the irony of our modern-day lifestyle. The first verse sets the scene with the singer highlighting a day that is 'his kind of day.' This could mean anything, but typically, it represents a day where everything is going his way. However, on this particular day, the faces of the passengers he sees look like they're in pain, which highlights the disconnection between the singer and the rest of society. He describes how everyone has a gun with the same caliber, emphasizing the notion of conformity and how people are becoming increasingly similar. The line "What a wonderful place, This is my kind of place" is a stark contradiction to the previous lines, creating an eerie sense of sarcasm.
The use of the term Parasomnia in the title suggests a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal behavior like walking or eating while still asleep. The word implies that the singer is in a state of unawareness or is not fully awake. This is symbolic of how many people are sleepwalking through life and not making conscious decisions. The rest of the song explores these themes by highlighting how we have become increasingly disconnected from each other with the rise of technology and social media.

The vocals at the end are heavenly and needed to last longer...
@mufcmatt9556
+GamerSam99 Less is better and leaves a larger imprint on the listener, at least that's the effect the vocals and song as whole had on me. The lead up to the vocals are what sets the feels alight when the message/words are finally let loose : )
@settingsun3470
Listen to Diary for more of those same vocals.
@TFADaryl
The demo album just released yesterday, and the song has nothing but vocals. It's beautiful.

@stefjames95
One of the only intelligent comments I've seen on this page. At least someone understands the concept of PA and Of nightmares. 🙏
