Angel of Death
Eligh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the side of his waist as he wanders the earth for the 28th time
On the grind for the angel of death not quite what you think
Hes a man full of peace, used to be full of shit
Life runnin over, spill it, blood fill it, cup, won't kill it
Put it back in the chamber (and pray to God you could feel it)
But I, can't sweat it can't let it get too close
Cause I'm on my tour on a mission
Listen to my boss, cause losing my wings
Can't get that, so I take strides, open up eyes
Building my size, holding my ties
By giving advice that won't suffice, so I needa make time
Slow DOWN for a man headed to the bottom bring it back
And make a beeline for life, feel-ine to fight for
Getin in love man, findin my cause man, I gotta cause man
Human beings, get em up to they full potential
Living the life they were meant to live, I'm the fight
I'm the fight, I'm the fight inside that you feel
Back and forth in your mind
Don't cry, don't fret, put your hands to the sky
Cause I'm here for your fate don't hate this, nothing
I'm a vet on Earth, Angelic Grey Crow
Wingspan big enough to embrace my foes
My heart, my soul, home on the range
To impale all the evil, on this steeple of a stage
All truth, no lie, Gandalf Grey Crow here to take you high, don't ask why
Don't cry, don't fret, put your hands to the sky
Cause I'm here for your fate don't hate this, just love it
I'm a Vet on Earth, Angelic Grey Crow
Wingspan big enough to embrace my foes
My heart, my soul, home on the range
To impale all the evil, on this of a stage
All truth, no lie, Gandalf Grey Crow here to take you high, don't ask why
Everybody got a reason to live, everybody got a contribution to give
Talent comes in many forms, in and out of many storms
Weathered storm feathers worn white grey, so slight
A build really don't meant shit, my weights so heavy in a state
Of bliss I kiss the ink, blown like glass on the paper when
Take it and I put it out to give it to the universe
Clean imaginary guard us with the gods
Playin monopoly with the planets and the stars
Get in my company I'm taking you to mars, me and you
On a journey where we just a facade
Leave all the preconceived notions abroad
Anyone here knows anything more than anyone else
Wiser admits that he don't know shit, and he won't throw fits
When another mans right, angel of death here to
Prove you a point, that lifes more precious than
Any given argument on any given Sunday
One day we gonna see the sunset, we gonna see the sensei when the sun rise, open up your eye, sensei rise when the sun came down at night
Don't cry, don't fret, put your hand to the sky
Cause I'm here for your faith don't hate, just love it
I'm a Vet on Earth, Angelic Grey Crow
Wingspan big enough to embrace my foes
My heart, my soul, home on the range
To impale all the evil, on this steeple of a stage
All truth, no lie, Gandalf Grey Crow here to take you high, don't ask why
Don't cry, don't fret, put your hand to the sky
Cause I'm here for your faith don't hate, just love it
I'm a Vet on Earth, Angelic Grey Crow
Wingspan big enough to embrace my foes
My heart, my soul, home on the range
To impale all the evil, on this steeple of a stage
All truth, no lie, Gandalf Grey Crow here to take you high, don't ask why
The lyrics of Eligh's song "Angel of Death" speak to the experience of an angel who walks the Earth, tasked with guiding humans to live up to their full potential. The angel, referred to as "Angelic Grey Crow," is a veteran on Earth with a big wingspan that can embrace his foes. He impales all the evil on the steeple of the stage, which represents the world as a stage where we are all actors. He is here to take you high, to make you see the bigger picture, and to remind you that life is more precious than any given argument on any given Sunday.
The song is a reminder that everyone has a reason to live, a contribution to give, and talent that comes in many forms. The angel has learned that wisdom comes from admitting that he don't know anything, and he won't throw fits when another man is right. The song emphasizes the importance of living a purposeful life which involves making time to listen to our inner voices, to slow down for a man headed to the bottom, and to find a cause. We must be open to our wings getting clipped as we will inevitably lose our way many times in life, but we must remember to keep fighting to make our contribution.
