Angel
Hellfire Society Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the one that tempts your wolrd
Your eyes are burned by me
I walk in the street in my merry nastiness
The nastiness you fear
I don't need to do nothing more than be myself
Stupid people always need somebody to burn at the stake
You will see that I'll become something never seen before
You will see that I'll become something never seen before

I'm an angel the first angel
I'm the fallen angel
I was an angel the dirty angel
Poor my little angel
Don't you see the love of god is the biggest lie?
Don't you see the faith in god is the biggest lie?

Hey you! Why are you so blind
Everyday the god that you love makes you cry
Hey you! Open your eyes

Following your plasures is the only way

You will see that I'll become something never seen before
You will see that I'll become something never seen before

I'm an angel the first angel
I'm the fallen angel
I was an angel the dirty angel
Poor my little angel
Don't you see the love of god is the biggest lie?
Don't you see the faith in god is the biggest lie?

Hey you! Why are you so blind
Everyday the god that you love makes you cry




Hey you! Open your eyes
Following your plasures is the only way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hellfire Society's song "Angel" are a provocative and rebellious take on the traditional concept of angels as pure and divine beings. The singer portrays himself as an angel, but specifically a fallen and dirty one, who tempts the world and causes fear and discomfort in those who encounter him. He asserts that the love and faith in God are the biggest lies and urges the listener to follow their pleasures as the only way to truly live. The repetition of the line "You will see that I'll become something never seen before" emphasizes the singer's desire to break free from traditional religious ideals and carve out his own unique identity.


The song could be interpreted as a rejection of organized religion and its perceived restrictions on individuality and pleasure. It may also be seen as a commentary on societal norms and expectations, urging individuals to embrace their true selves and reject the fear and judgment of others. The singer's rebellious attitude highlights the inherent tension between conformity and individuality.
