Dying for an Angel
Avantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have come for you
And nobody can hear you scream
When I reach for you
Don't you remember their feet in your face
Before they have carved you in stone
And don't you remember your sweat and your pain
When you were left on all alone
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up, feet down in the fire
Giving till you're gone
Dying for an angel
Everyday
Where do we go from the apogee
What do we leave behind
And how will I stand what I'll have to see
This reflection of mine
Collateral damage, your sacrifice
Gotta learn to fly unlearn to fall
Gotta tear down the walls of love and lies
You have come on your own
You will go on all alone
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up, feet down in the fire
Giving till you're gone
Dying for an angel
Everyday
(Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me)
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
(Waiting for a miracle)
Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up, feet down in the fire
Giving till you're gone
Dying for an angel
Everyday
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up, feet down in the fire
Giving till you're gone (giving till you're gone)
Dying for an angel
Everyday
The lyrics of Avantasia feat. Klaus Meine's song "Dying for an Angel" talk about a person's struggle to achieve their dreams and their willingness to sacrifice everything for it, even their own life. The song starts with the person being in a dark state of mind, feeling alone and unheard. The singer, Klaus Meine, describes himself as the one who has come for them, but it seems as though the person doesn't remember their previous failures and the pain associated with them. They are taking their chances again and dreaming of achieving their goals, even if it means dying for them.
The song's chorus talks about the irony of chasing a dream and dying for an angel that the person may not even see in reality. They are waiting for a miracle to happen, but there's no sign of it yet. The person seems to be giving everything they've got, despite being lonely and cold, and is willing to die every day for the pursuit of their dream. In the end, the lyrics talk about the importance of learning to fly and unlearning to fall, tearing down the walls of love and lies, and being ready for the collateral damage of their sacrifice. The person is ready to face the consequences of their choices, even if that means they have to do it alone.
Line by Line Meaning
You're awake in your darkest dream
You find yourself in a nightmarish situation
I have come for you
I am here to take you away
And nobody can hear you scream
You are alone and your cries for help go unnoticed
When I reach for you
When I try to help you
Don't you remember their feet in your face
Do you not recall being treated poorly by others?
Before they have carved you in stone
Before they have permanently defined you as unworthy
And don't you remember your sweat and your pain
Do you not remember how hard you worked and how much you suffered?
When you were drawn to the bone
When you were pushed to your limits
When you were left on all alone
When you were abandoned by those you thought you could count on
Living on a dream
You are holding onto a hope that may not be realistic
Dying for an angel
You are willing to make extreme sacrifices for something or someone that you believe in
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
You are reaching out for help, hoping for a miraculous solution
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
You feel abandoned and let down by someone who you thought would help you
Lonely cold and dire
You feel lonely and hopeless in a desperate situation
Head up, feet down in the fire
You are standing tall and facing a difficult challenge
Giving till you're gone
You are putting everything you have into a pursuit, no matter the cost
Everyday
This is a daily struggle
Where do we go from the apogee
What happens next when you have reached the highest point in your pursuit?
What do we leave behind
What do we sacrifice in order to achieve our goals?
And how will I stand what I'll have to see
How will I be able to live with the aftermath of my choices?
This reflection of mine
This is a reflection of my own character
Collateral damage, your sacrifice
Other people may be hurt by your pursuit of your goal
Gotta learn to fly unlearn to fall
You need to take risks and learn from your mistakes
Gotta tear down the walls of love and lies
You need to break down barriers created by love and deception
You have come on your own
You are alone in this endeavor
You will go on all alone
You will have to face the consequences of your actions alone

Dying for an angel everyday?
Where do we go from the apogee
What do we leave behind
And how will I stand what I'll have to see
This reflection of mine
Collateral damage, your sacrifice
Gotta learn to fly, unlearn to fall
Gotta tear down the walls of love and lies

Dying for an angel everyday
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings as you turn your back on me
Back on me
Living on a dream
Lonely, cold and dire
Head up, feet down in the fire
Giving till you're gone
Dying for an angel everyday
