Angel
Insane Clown Posse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I climbed up the tree in the back and got on my roof top
With my twenty-two it's hot with little pops
Started bustin' off shots aimin' all at the sky
I emptied out the gun bustin' all at the sky
Then I went and stole the bow and arrow from my dad
To the arrow tips I tied gasoline soaked rags
Climbed up with the Zippo, lit 'em off in the sky
A trail of black smoke leading off in the sky
I bought some Chinese stars from the Kung-Fu surplus
They had 'em under the glass, I made the purchase
Climbed up and I whizzed 'em off in the sky

Even stood up on the chimney, whizzed 'em off in the sky
Then I found a double barrel with shells at Wal-Mart
I threw it in next to the Faygo in my shopping cart
I got home, climbed up and blew it off in the sky
3:20 in the morning, bustin' off at the sky
I got a blow gun too, a real one at that
I dip the tips in poison, lay up on my back
And now they're piercing through the air straight up into the sky

It's like the only thing you hear is into the sky
I bought a harpoon off the Internet and went up
And tried to shoot it but the fuckin' rip off, it got stuck
I said "fuck it" and I threw the spear up into the sky
As fuckin' hard as I could, I threw it into the sky
I'm sprayin' mace up there, I throw M-80s up there
I'm shootin' everything I got, I sit and wait in my chair
Because I hate the sky above, whether moon or sun
Whether rain or snow, since the pain begun

I'm tryin' to aim for the Heavens up into the sky
Tell me why the love of my life had to die?
How's she gonna leave me and not even say bye?
I know that she's an angel and they're lettin' her fly
Every plan I thought we made together was a lie
She could of hung on, I bet she didn't even try
She left me dry, and that no one can deny
And when she fall from the sky, I'm askin' her why

[Chorus: x8]
Angels are falling!
Angels are falling!
Falling angels!




(Come crashing down to the floor
Won't stop 'til I get the one that I'm looking for)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Insane Clown Posse’s song “Angel’s Falling” tell a story of someone who feels betrayed by the person they loved and lost, who they believe has become an angel in the sky. The singer is so consumed by their rage, pain, and loneliness that they’ve turned to making suicidal attempts to harm the sky, which they believe holds the one they’ve lost. They climb up on their roof and shoot off their gun, light their arrows on fire, and throw Chinese throwing stars, a double barrel shotgun, a harpoon, and even a poisoned blowgun into the sky. The chorus repeats the idea of angels falling and crashing to the floor, and that the singer won’t stop until they get the one they’re looking for, insinuating they want the angel they’ve lost to come back to them in a dramatic way.


The lyrics are a sad reminder of how people can become lost in their own emotions and seek out dangerous ways to cope. The singer in this song is struggling with intense grief and anger, and has become fixated on the idea of their lost love being up in the sky with the angels. The use of violent means to harm the sky and the repetition of the chorus show just how deep the pain and desperation go for the singer. The song is a powerful portrayal of the destructive nature of unresolved grief and the longing for lost love.

I climbed up the tree in the back and got on my rooftop
I climbed up to my rooftop to escape my problems


With my twenty-two it's hot with little pops
I started shooting my gun at the sky with small rounds


Started bustin' off shots aimin' all at the sky
I shot at the sky in anger


I emptied out the gun bustin' all at the sky

To the arrow tips I tied gasoline soaked rags
I tied gasoline soaked rags to the tips of the arrows


Climbed up with the Zippo, lit 'em off in the sky

A trail of black smoke leading off in the sky

They had 'em under the glass, I made the purchase
I bought the Chinese stars that were on display


Climbed up and I whizzed 'em off in the sky
I threw the Chinese stars in the sky


Even stood up on the chimney, whizzed 'em off in the sky

3:20 in the morning, bustin' off at the sky
I shot at the sky at 3:20am in the morning


I got a blow gun too, a real one at that
I also acquired a real blowgun


I dip the tips in poison, lay up on my back
I dipped the blowgun darts in poison and lay on my back


And now they're piercing through the air straight up into the sky
I shot the poison-tipped darts at the sky


It's like the only thing you hear is into the sky
The sounds of my attacks were only directed at the sky


I'm sprayin' mace up there, I throw M-80s up there
I sprayed mace and threw powerful fireworks called M-80s at the sky


I'm shootin' everything I got, I sit and wait in my chair
I fired every weapon I had and waited in my chair

Whether rain or snow, since the pain begun
I've hated the sky since my pain started


I'm tryin' to aim for the Heavens up into the sky

Tell me why the love of my life had to die?
I'm questioning why my beloved had to die


How's she gonna leave me and not even say bye?
I'm angry that my beloved didn't even say goodbye before she died


I know that she's an angel and they're lettin' her fly
I believe my beloved has become an angel and is in the sky


Every plan I thought we made together was a lie
I realized that every plan I made with my beloved was in vain


She could of hung on, I bet she didn't even try
I think my beloved didn't even try to stay alive


She left me dry, and that no one can deny
My beloved left me alone and there's no denying it


And when she falls from the sky, I'm askin' her why
When my beloved falls from the sky, I will ask her why she left me


Angels are falling!
My belief that my beloved has become an angel and is falling from the sky


Falling angels!
I am still angry at the sky and the angels


Come crashing down to the floor
I want the falling angels to crash onto the ground


Won't stop 'til I get the one that I'm looking for
I won't stop until I find my beloved
