Fallen Angel
Juno Reactor/Traci Lords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the morning
Feeling used
Like a fallen angel
Tired and bruised
It's got you feeling
So insane
More dead than alive
On the inside
Oh is it love, love, love (love, love, love)
Oh is it love, sweet love
Oh is it love, love, love (love, love, love)
Oh is it love, sweet love
So don't tell me
You feel pretty
When you're such a mess
Just try to remember
And don't forget
We're all dancing in the darkness
Don't shut out the light
I want so bad to ease your pain
On the inside
Love, love, love (love, love, love)
Oh is it love, sweet love
Oh is it love, love, love (love, love, love)
Oh is it love, sweet love
You're drowning
In excess
Thoughts of suicide
Like a mirror
You can't hide
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
You cannot hide
Fallen angel
The lyrics of Juno Reactor/Traci Lords's song Fallen Angel explore the feeling of being used and tired, like a fallen angel. The singer assures the listener that they are not alone, and that they understand the feeling of being stained on the inside by love. The chorus asks the question "oh is it love, love, love" repeatedly, suggesting that perhaps the pain and exhaustion that the singer and listener are feeling is a result of love.
The second verse tells the listener not to pretend to be feeling pretty when they are clearly struggling. The third and final verse describes the feelings of someone who is drowning in excess and thoughts of suicide, unable to hide from themselves like a mirror. The repetition of the phrase "fallen angel" serves to reinforce the idea that the listener is not alone in their feelings of pain and exhaustion.
Overall, the lyrics of Fallen Angel are a powerful exploration of the darker sides of love and emotion. The singer empathizes with the listener, acknowledging that they too have been stained by love and are struggling to make sense of their feelings. The repeated questioning of whether the pain is the result of love or not is a common theme in human experience, and the song speaks to a broad audience who have all felt the sting of love in one way or another.
