Angel Of My Dreams
Krokus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the edge of my bed
Flowers sweet
In her long long hair
Angel... beckoned me to follow
She took my hand
And spread her wings
From earthly things
Far from the starlight and narrow
Angel of my dreams
Look into my eyes
Tell me we will never fall
Angel of my dreams
Look into my eyes
Tell me we will never fall!
She placed my shaft
On her feathered bow
She aimed high
And let the arrow go
Deep in her ancestral heaven
I could feel this strong
Celestial force
A natural mystical
Divine source
Flyin' me to a new dimension
[repeat chorus
Never never never never fall
Angels are mystical or divine beings in many cultures, and they often appear in people's dreams. In the song "Angel of My Dreams" by Krokus, the singer wakes up to the sight of an angel standing at the edge of his bed. She has long hair adorned with "flowers sweet" and beckons him to follow her. The angel takes the singer's hand and spreads her wings and frees his spirit from earthly things. She flies him away from the starlight and narrow earthly plane to a new dimension.
The singer is excited and overawed by the angel, as she is a celestial force with a natural mystical divine source. And he feels her strong force flying him to a new dimension. The singer then pleads with the angel to look into his eyes and tell him they will never fall, and she replies with a nod. The singer's emotions and feelings give a clear picture of how much he appreciates the encounter with the angel.
Based on facts, the song 'Angel of My Dreams' by Krokus was first released on their 1984 album known as "The Blitz," and it's one of the songs that made it to the Billboard charts. It was purely a love song composed by the band, with no particular reference to their private lives, despite the fact being part of their band's love songs playlist. The song's genre is a combination of hard rock and heavy metal, which made it popular back then. It was played mostly in rock bars and discotheques as part of their entertainment music list.
