The Angel
Heavenly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Angel blood sacrifice
You took it out on me
While I gathered you up
You swallowed me up
If I could I would try
To keep you the same
What must I do?
I'll smoke a pink cloud with your name
Like your favorite cartoon




You'll grow out of it soon

Overall Meaning

"The Angel" by Heavenly is a song that has deep, introspective lyrics that talk about the sacrifices one can make in a relationship. The lyrics are quite metaphoric, and it's not easy to understand them in one go. The first two lines of the song, "Angel blood sacrifice, You took it out on me," suggest that the other person in the relationship has made a significant sacrifice for the person singing the song. However, it also talks about how that sacrifice has hurt the singer.


The next few lines of the song, "While I gathered you up, You swallowed me up," indicate that while the person was going through the turmoil of making that sacrifice, it consumed the singer. The song also talks about wanting to keep the other person the same, but not knowing how to do it. The line "What must I do?" suggests that the singer is confused and doesn't know what to do to keep things the same.


In the next lines, "I'll smoke a pink cloud with your name Like your favorite cartoon You'll grow out of it soon," the singer talks about smoking something in honor of the other person. The phrase "pink cloud with your name" might suggest that the singer is smoking a drug, and the color pink is usually associated with a mild hallucinogen. But, it might also be interpreted as a way of celebrating the relationship. The singer finishes the line with "Like your favorite cartoon/ You'll grow out of it soon," which might suggest that the other person will eventually mature and outgrow the relationship.
