Fallen Angel
Helena Iren Michaelsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now the journey begins.
To release my soul into your hands,
Is this the final sin?
One last breath to say yes or no,
I must make a choice.
The hands of fate are around my neck
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Falling down.....
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Just let me Drown....
Into the darkness in another world,
This is where I would stay.
A Fallen angel in another realm
Just tryin' to find a way.
I close my eyes but I'm not alone,
My spirit forms within.
Inside my mind I could never grow old,
Is this my final sin?
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Falling down.....
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Just let me Drown....
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Falling down.....
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Just let me Drown....
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Falling down.....
Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel)
Just let me Drown....
The lyrics to Helena Iren Michaelsen's song Fallen Angel describe the singer's feelings and thoughts as they face death. The opening lines reveal a sense of resignation as the singer acknowledges that their end is near. They then question whether releasing their soul into the afterlife is sinful, hinting that the singer may not have led the most righteous life. They face a crucial decision in the next two lines - whether to accept their fate or fight it. This choice is crucial to the singer, as it may determine their fate in the afterlife. The idea of the hands of fate stealing the singer's voice suggests that their decision may not be entirely within their control.
The next verse talks about the singer's desire to let go and enter the darkness, possibly indicating their willingness to embrace death. They describe themselves as a fallen angel in another realm, highlighting their connection to the divine. The chorus repeats the words "fallen angel" and "just let me drown" several times, emphasizing the singer's desire to surrender themselves to the afterlife. The final verse reveals that the singer is not alone in their final moments - their spirit forms within their mind. This suggests that they may be experiencing an out-of-body experience, which is often mentioned in accounts of near-death experiences.
