Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

im a of victim of myself on some real shit
i can scream but nobody wanna hear shit
love to make myself cry cuz i dont feel shit
i dont try, why try i wont heal shit

when im in lookin the mirror i dont know myself
i let my angel try and steer i sedate myself
we gone live forever

but it feel like 7 seconds

she dont wanna hate my guts
but she could never take my love
or break my trust
it aint like it us
she do circles around the fire cuz she dangerous
i dont need to smoke she make me feel the angel dust
(i dont need to smoke feel the angel dust)
and my mom told me twice i need to hang it up
but i couldn’t even think of tryna make it up
i been risking my whole life and all my time
for jus a girl who wanna cry and because not my wife

both hate being high
but still stay being high
tryna mask why we lie
tryna hide how we try..
pick a side til u die, one love
in fight
2 months on a flight
just for 10 more in the chi

she gone say its all good when i come in late
i wanna kick it like its nothin to be stuck in a daze
we both going some shit thats got us lost in our ways
lets put our heads together, maybe we’ll beat the weather

get your bags
make it seem you came for me
count my cash
talk to me my therapy
make it last
put me over everything
never spazz
you my angel you my shawty

sparkle like im dying in our limosine
right when im done tryin
i swear i could feel the chemistry

you my angle
you my shawty
but aint talkin hardly
you dont ever call me
when i wanna leave
how come you dont ever stop

i want you stop me
i want you to stop me

Overall Meaning

In Max Wells's song "Angel Dust," the lyrics explore themes of self-destruction, emotional numbness, and the complexities of a toxic relationship. The opening lines reveal a sense of hopelessness and isolation, as the singer feels trapped within their own self-destructive tendencies. They express a desire for validation and understanding but feel unheard and invisible.

The mention of an angel represents a contrasting force within the singer's life. They rely on this angelic presence to guide them through their struggles, to numb their pain. However, there is a sense of impermanence and urgency in the line "we gone live forever, but it feel like 7 seconds." It hints at the fleeting nature of their escape from reality, despite the desire for it to last.

The second verse delves into the complexities of a romantic relationship. The singer is torn between intense feelings of love and the destructive behavior of their partner. The phrase "she do circles around the fire cuz she dangerous" suggests that the partner, while captivating, is also potentially harmful. The idea of "angel dust" alludes to the drug's ability to create a euphoric feeling, implying that the singer gets intoxicated by their partner's presence.

The song also touches on the singer's strained relationship with their mother, who advises them to give up their risky lifestyle. However, the singer is unable to let go of their pursuit of love and acceptance, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being.

In the chorus, the singer expresses their admiration and dependency on their partner, referring to them as their angel and shawty. Despite the difficulties in their relationship, they crave the bond and closeness they share.

Overall, "Angel Dust" explores the inner struggles of the singer, their reliance on destructive coping mechanisms, and the complexities of a toxic romantic relationship.
