Angel
Day Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gonna build it up just to burn it down
You're a princess, I'm a fucking clown
Stop the presses cause I'm killing time
Won't you be my bloody valentine

You're just a fucking kid
And no one ever gives you a break
You want a señorita
And now your heart is gonna break

You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces

Stab my heart like a stick in the mud
Cut my chest just to see the blood
Now I'm singing out the alphabet
Adjectives are putting out my cigarette
We're at the cemetary so we can see the holiday lights
Waking up the dead and everything'll be alright

You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces

Alright
Stuck in the middle of Heaven and Hell
Alright
Trying to find my better angels

Stab my heart like a stick in the mud
Cut my chest just to see the blood
Stop the presses cause I'm killing time
Won't you be my bloody valentine

You're just a fucking kid
And no one ever gives you a break
You want a señorita
And now your heart is gonna break

You're angel blue
With teenage traces




Angel blue
With pretty faces

@poops0ck

Stefan Grossman all/most of their songs speak really fuckin deep to me, a few months ago at school i started tearing up bc of a dark omen lmao

@GamesYouCareAbout

Kaisa V emotions are crazy sometimes we've all been there. but at least we have music like this to relate to and kinda help up understand those feelings. even tho this song is super negative there's the one line where it says "WAKE UP", "WE MUST FREE OURSELVES FROM OUR OWM TORMENTS" there's always better days, that's what I get from this song.

@MikeTheHero920

its not negative at all. It accurately depicts depression. Its almost comforting to know youre not the only way who feels this way

@drummaboi5879

INDEED, genius on their part

@coque3253

One of the best bands on my opinion, awesome vocals, good lyrics, amazing instrumental, nasty breakdowns/slams and solos, keep up the good work! <3

@TheLinkMedic

I concur. One of the best deathcore bands period.

@kentaroderry2958

Naming another good deathcore band doesn't dilute the fact that AngelMaker kicks ass.

@yourmotherandthesandpeople2298
