Dark Angel
Electronic (Rock) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm independent when there's no one there
I'm not a substitute and it's wearing thin
Why can't you see that I won't give in
There's a rumor how can it be true
The way that people talk it's as if they knew
And though I try I hope you understand
If I'm alone with you it could get out of hand
Please don't make me wait
In front of you
Love comes too late
We're in a spin
Confused within
It must be fate
Love comes too late
I believe it was meant to be
But when you threw me out I guess it made me see
It would be a drag from my point of view
That's the kind of thing that I'd expect from you
What can I do I'll never be the same
Another day without you would drive me insane
It's a real life drama that I can't work out
Don't think about it let me take you out
Please don't make me wait
In front of you
Love comes too late
We're in a spin
Confused within
It must be fate
Love comes too late
The lyrics to Electronic (Rock)'s song Dark Angel seem to be about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The singer of the song is in love with someone who does not feel the same way, and despite this, they are determined to remain independent and not give in to their feelings. They describe how they are not a substitute for someone else and refuse to be treated as such. The rumors about their love interest only add to their frustration and they try to distance themselves in order to avoid any potential misunderstandings.
Despite their efforts and attempts at independence, the singer still longs for their love interest and mentions how love seems to come too late. They believe that the relationship was meant to be, but their love interest's rejection has made them see things differently. They express their confusion and the fact that they can't work out the situation, but ultimately they still hope to be with their love interest.
The song is filled with a sense of sadness and longing. The singer is clearly in love and willing to do anything to be with their love interest, but the other person is not interested in them in the same way. It's a relatable situation for anyone who has experienced unrequited love or the frustration of trying to win someone's heart who is not interested.
