Silent Angel
Axel Rudi Pell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who will I find to stay forever
A life without you, no dreams will come true,
Won't be fooled just like a pretender
A whisper in the garden of eden,
Like a sound of love an' peace on earth.
Silent angel
Silent angel
In my fantasy
Silent angel
Let me love you
Silent angel
Please stay with me
All alone, with a heart of stone
Candlelight never burns so bright
How can it be, that between you and me
Is no way out, out of misery
[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]
The lyrics of Axel Rudi Pell's song Silent Angel depict a sense of despair and longing for a love that has been lost. The rain and cold nights serve as a reminder of the emptiness that the singer feels inside without the person they love. The repetition of "Silent Angel" throughout the song symbolizes the hope and desire to reconnect with their loved one. The image of a garden of Eden further heightens the sense of wanting to return to a paradise that has been lost.
As the singer confesses that they won't be "fooled just like a pretender," it becomes clear that they have been hurt before and don't want to make the same mistake again. The lyrics almost plead with the Silent Angel to return and stay with them to alleviate their loneliness. The candlelight and heart of stone represent the duality of hopelessness and yearning that constantly battle within the singer's mind. The pain of being unable to escape their misery is palpable in the lyrics. Overall, the song is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the search for redemption.
