Fallen Angel
Michaela Foster Marsh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have been drawn
Into a love affair with darkness
Into the harsh night of hell
In a world so seductive
You rose high into spheres
On your spiral of destruction
You've built a prison for your fears
And like a moth draws into the flame
I feel drawn
Fallen angel, you belong in the light
And if I could only hold you
If I could only show you
Push past your darkness, look up through your tears
Throw down your torture, the dark mask of years
Fallen angel
Step into the light
Open your eyes now
Let the healing enfold you
In all the wrong places, you've looked for desire
You're so hungry for freedom
So you choose to control
And you've torn at boundaries
With those whom you've loved
Till there's nowhere left to turn
So you keep running from yourself
And time will come, when you've ridden your storm
Then you will discover what you came here for
And your love affair with darkness
Will draw to a close
And you'll find in your heart then
The greater love unknown
Fallen angel
Step into the light
Open your eyes now
Let the healing enfold you
Enfold you
Let the feeling enfold you
Enfold you, enfold you

The singer acknowledges that the fallen angel belongs in the light, and if they could only hold them and show them the way, they could push past the years of torment and tears. The lyrics suggest that the fallen angel has chosen to control rather than find true freedom and has torn at the boundaries of love with those around them.
