Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He is The angel with the scabbed wings
Hard drug face want to powder his nose
He will defeat all freshest cops
Dry up all the wombs with his rock and roll sores
Rock and roll sores
Rock and roll sores
Dead
Is what he is, he does
What he place the things
That he has you'll never wanna see




What you never gonna be
Now sketch a little keyholeffor for looking-glass people

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Angel With the Scabbed Wings" by God Destruction paints a vivid image of a dark and dangerous character. The opening line, "He is the angel with the scabbed wings," immediately sets the tone for the rest of the song. This angelic figure, once pure and innocent, now has scabbed wings, representing a corruption of his angelic nature. He is now addicted to hard drugs and has a face that is covered in powder from snorting them. Despite his physical and mental deterioration, he is determined to defeat any law enforcement and leave a trail of destruction in his wake.


The lyrics continue to describe this anti-hero's mission to "dry up all the wombs with his rock and roll sores." This line could be interpreted as a metaphor for his destructive influence on society, which destroys families and leaves barren wastelands in its wake. He has a sense of power and control that he exerts over those around him, reflected in the repeating line "rock and roll sores."


The lyrics end on an ominous note, with the suggestion of a "keyhole" for "looking-glass people." This can be interpreted as a warning to those who are enamored by the dangerous lifestyle this character represents. They are only seeing a narrow view of reality, like looking through a keyhole, and are not prepared for the consequences that come with it.
