Destroying Angel
Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's not right
Cause the angels always
Come with light
On your face I see
My favorite smile
But still I know it is a killing kind
Is sucking away my life
And feeding with my love
Come to me angel
And take me into the night
I'll feed your appetite
You will be
The Death of me
I know eventually
But I am sure I will surrender
With free will
On my face there is no trace of tears
Promise you will never
Bring me fear
Destroying angel
Is sucking away my life
And feeding with my love
Come to me angel
And take me into the night
I'll feed your appetite
And I feel that I must stay
As far from you as I can
But like a lion and a lamb
I am your helpless pray
Destroying angel
Is sucking away my life
And feeding with my love
Come to me angel
And take me into the night
I'll feed your appetite
Destroying angel
Is sucking away my life
And feeding with my love
Come to me angel
And take me into the night
I'll feed your appetite
The song "Destroying Angel" by Grey tells the story of a person who is in love with someone that they know will ultimately lead to their demise. The lyrics describe this person as an "angel," but not one that brings light or salvation. Instead, this "destroying angel" is sucking away the singer's life and feeding off their love. Despite the knowledge that this person will ultimately be the death of them, the singer is still drawn to them and willfully surrenders to them, feeding their appetite for destruction.
The metaphor of the "destroying angel" is a reference to the poisonous fungus of the same name. This fungus contains toxins that can cause severe illness or death in humans and animals, but it is also poisonous to insects and other creatures that would normally feed on it. In this song, the object of the singer's affection is similarly toxic: they are destructive and potentially deadly, but the singer is still unable to resist them.
The lyrics also describe the singer as a "helpless prey" in the presence of this person, comparing their relationship to that of a lion and a lamb. This metaphor suggests a power dynamic in which the singer is vulnerable and defenseless in the face of their lover's destructive tendencies.
