Angel
Big Bad Bosses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Club hoppin',
See her dancin' alone.
In the corner,
I'm just checkin' my phone.
I should join her,
Step right into the zone.

Get to sweatin',
I ain't tryin' to unwind.
Girl you're smokin',
Damn you're one of a kind.
Can't help it;
Moves are blowin' my mind.

Girl, now my pulse is starting to rise.
I see excitement flash in your eyes.
Let's get a cab and blow the joint.
Let me get right on down to the point.

Shoulda told ya,
Wrapped up baggage in store.
Couldn't blame ya,
Show yourself to the door.
Couldn't help it,
Left it all on the floor.

Now you know me,
Might just drop the facade.
Make your mind up,
A one winged Angel, a fraud.
Let me tell ya,
I could summon a god.

I called my mom and told her the deal
This story feels so eerily real
She said to call this party off
She said she hates to see me go soft
She says that all I need is a friend
She said to never falter again
She said to rain down fire and then
She said this happens now and again




And again
And again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Big Bad Bosses’s song “Angel” describe a man’s experience while clubbing. The singer sees a woman dancing alone and contemplates whether to join her. He is hesitant at first but eventually decides to step into the zone. Once he sees her moves, he can’t help but be mesmerized by her. The chorus talks about the heightened excitement and desire he feels when he’s with her, and he eventually reveals that he has baggage from his past. Despite his flaws, he believes he can summon a god and impress her.


The second verse has an interesting twist. The singer calls his mother to share his story and seek guidance. His mother tells him to call off the party and warns him not to go down a dark path. She reminds him that he only needs a friend and advises him never to falter again. The singer ends the song by repeating the line “And again,” suggesting that he’s been here before and may not have learned his lesson.


“Angel” is a catchy song with a beat that complements the lyrics. The use of the second-person perspective makes the listener feel like they’re part of the story. The contrast between the upbeat melody and the darker lyrics creates an interesting dynamic. The song asks questions about how one’s past can impact their relationships and whether redemption is possible.

@AaroncitoNijima

Latín translation (its no 100% acurate but I tried)

Eye that told truth, that very big,
A single mistake, death and regret.
The carried, you give truth, water death humatity,
top of the... head dearness, heart head, 'there's a boss'

horror, meteor, 'cure' to the born,
to all citizens, death has responded.
the efford, 'baru' you, the city, your danger,
I destroy, through seperation, expected danger.

Love the entire album. It's the first CD in my 25 CD changer...then its REO Speedwagon Hi Infidelity. Pretty sure my neighbor is tired of listening to these two albums blasting from my shop lol. I can't wait for Vol 2. As soon as pre orders are available I'll snag it up.
