(B. Bristly, coarse and unflinching, serving of edgy female poprock takes the poppy and punky influences of Garbage, No Doubt and Blondie and mutates them into a personal, memorable breed of accessibility with brutally honest, "badass" chick rock. Keeping it interesting by playing with beat and rhyhtm, structure and the moments of musical pay-off, Matahari is an alternative rock group fronted by female vocalist Ivona Coufalova, their sound is a blend of contemporary pop, punk, rock and techno. Matahari's lyrics are intriguing set to dark driving rhythms and upbeat grooves. Ivona is a passionate vocalist and the band is hard driving utilizing rock rifts with an electronic edge. The CD opens with 'Scream Out Love' that combines stimulating techno tones with a heavy beat leading to the powerful hook belted out by Coufalova. It is followed by another rocker 'Sugar', which is clever lyrically and edgy in execution. 'Over Now' melds varied tempos with dramatic pauses. The song is dark and driving. Matahari, named after a World War I female spy, is aptly named as they combine modern mystery with musical magic! author: Laura T Lynch of Kweevak.com, Tamara Turner, CD Baby.com

Angel
Matahari Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Entro en el lugar
Cubierto de cenizas
ya no puedo sostener
el peso de mis alas

me veo como otros
pero eso dura apenas
las venas bombeando

a mi cerebro
dan alarma

soy un ángel
un ángel caído
soy un ángel
un ángel suicida

Salto sin pensar
el cuerpo se ha quedado
tras de mí
Abrazo la noche
en un vuelo
que me libera

me veo como otros otros
pero eso dura apenas
ya no puedo sostener
el peso de mis alas

soy un ángel
un ángel caído
soy un ángel
un ángel suicida

soy un ángel
un ángel caído
soy un ángel
un ángel suicida

soy un ángel
un ángel caído
soy un ángel
un ángel suicida

soy un ángel
un ángel caído

soy un ángel
un ángel suicida

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Angel" by Matahari describe a fallen angel who is struggling with the weight of their wings. The singer enters a place covered in ashes, expressing that they cannot hold up the weight of their wings any longer. They see themselves as no different from others, but their body's reaction to the strenuousness indicates otherwise. As their body can't manage, they take a leap into the darkness, embracing the night as they fly away, leaving their body behind. The repeated chorus emphasizes the predominant theme of the song: the singer is a fallen angel, and they embrace that aspect of themselves.

The lyrics depict the idea of feeling trapped and weighed down by one's nature or beliefs. The primary theme of the song is that of a fallen angel who is struggling with their position despite their angelic nature, and they need to be free from that weight. The singer's perspective might be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling different, misunderstood or stuck in life, and the need to break free from that to follow one's own path regardless of the consequences.
