Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She would be the one, I would see
When I get, to heavens gate
She would welcome me with her arms, open wide, and a smile
Will shadow me brighter than the sun
She hasn't had a fair chance, so I'll give her one
Let me tell you who she is, yeah
She's a fallen angel, waiting for me to love her, yeah
(Know that she's) She's a fallen angel, take your judgment off her
I know, that she's a fallen angel
You know, maybe I should
Help her mend, her broken wings
So she can fly again
But I don't, wanna lose everything that I've gained
It's turning me a selfish man (oh)
'Cause without her my heart just don't go, no more (no more)
I couldn't take the pain, from watching her fly away
So say that you'll stay
She's mine
She's a fallen angel, ooh sent from heaven up above
She's a fallen angel, waiting for me to love her, yeah

The lyrics of Chris Brown's song "Fallen Angel" are a representation of a relationship where the singer is trying to uplift the spirit of his lover, who he believes is a "fallen angel." The song begins with the chorus "If I could take a trip to outer space, she would be the one I would see." Here, the artist addresses his lover and suggests that he would travel through the universe to protect and cherish her. The following lines say "When I get to heaven's gate, she will welcome me with her arms open wide and a smile that shadows me brighter than the sun." In this interpretation, we can see that the person is comparing his lover with an angel, and no religious meanings go into the song’s content.
The second half of the song starts with the artist's contemplation of helping his partner with her "broken wings" to fly again. The singer's last wish is to lose the one he loves, and the words "without her my heart just don't go, no more" show his immense attachment to the person he respects. In the end, the chorus reappears, describing the singer's lover as a "fallen angel." He tries to remind her that her past does not define who she is and promises to help her fly once again.
