Fallen Angel

I wanna know, I wanna know
The singer deeply desires knowledge and understanding of a situation.

You had me fooled
The singer was deceived and believed something to be true when it was not.

You were so good at that
The person who deceived the singer was skilled at manipulating them.

I'm so unglued
The artist feels emotionally unstable and broken.

Too many pieces to put back
The damage caused by the deception is extensive and difficult to repair.

And you were the best by far
The person who deceived the singer was exceptionally skilled at their deception.

How did we end up like this?
The singer is confused about how they got to this point of emotional distress.

Don't even know who you are
The artist feels like they never truly knew the person who deceived them.

I can't believe it's like this
The artist is in disbelief at the unfortunate situation they find themselves in.

How does it feel to be a fallen angel?
The artist is curious about how the person who deceived them feels about their downfall.

Your wings are lying on the ground
The singer is referencing the idea of a fallen angel losing their wings as a metaphor for the person who deceived them losing their power or prestige.

Forever is a long way down
The path to redemption or recovery from a downfall is long and challenging.

You were everything that I thought I wanted to be
The singer had admiration and respect for the person who deceived them.

But everything has disappeared for me
The singer's feelings towards the person who deceived them have changed drastically.

The only thing that's worse than emptiness

Is when your heart's lost

And the only thing that's worth the pain
The artist believes that love is worth the pain and suffering it can cause.

Is the price of what love costs
The singer believes that love requires sacrifice and commitment.

Coz when you think it's all in your hands
The singer believes that when things seem to be going well, it is easy to let your guard down and become vulnerable.

That's when it's gone
The artist believes that this vulnerability can lead to loss or deception.

And you're thinking you're invincible
The artist believes that it is easy to become overconfident and believe that you cannot be deceived or hurt.

Believe me, you're so wrong

Tell me how does it feel
The singer is once again asking the person who deceived them to describe how they feel about their downfall.

I wanna know how it feels
