Englene som falt ned i min seng skal jeg sette fri med brukne vinger og torneglorier
Djevel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bag lukkede dører hvor ingen hører
Svømmer i helligvann og bønn
Naar dansen blir for vild og musikken for høi
Tiden sier de naa maa lide klokkene kimer
Her vil de brenne (aske)
Fortell meg hvem jeg er og jeg skal vise deg
Danse med Djevelen skal vite
Englene som falt ned i min seng
Skal jeg sette fri med brukne vinger og torneglorier
Med deres strik vil natten
Lyse vei for mine svarte hover
Jeg skal fare
Over gull og glimmer ned i svarte juv
En kald og ødelagt himmel
Er det siste de vil se
I ruinen av sin tro
Denne veien de vandret
Var tornebelagt fra første skritt
Her er ikke lenger kors og salme
Kun hedningehammer og falne
The lyrics to Djevel's song "Englene som falt ned i min seng skal jeg sette fri med brukne vinger og torneglorier" paint an eerie and dark picture of a character who embraces their sinful desires and dances with the devil. The first verse describes how this person delights in indulging in their shame and sins behind closed doors, while also attempting to balance it with religious rituals like holy water and prayer.
The second verse seems to reflect the societal pressure and shame that this character faces for their actions. The clocks toll and people say that they must suffer for their sins, with the implication that they will be burned and reduced to ashes. The character then challenges someone to tell them who they are, so that they can reveal their true self in the ashes of the other person's soul.
The chorus is both ominous and redemptive. The character promises to set free the angels who fell into their bed with broken wings and thorned halos, using their ropes to light the way for their black hooves. This imagery suggests that the character may feel like they are liberating themselves and others from societal and religious constraints, even if it means aligning with the devil.
The final verse takes on even darker tones, as the character rides off into a black and broken sky, leaving behind a ruined faith and a path full of thorns. The imagery of the hedonistic hammer and the fallen further reinforces the idea that this character is rejecting traditional religious and societal norms in order to embrace their own sinful desires.
