This one is Mishka Frith.… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Mishka.
This one is Mishka Frith. Like his older sister, singer/songwriter Heather Nova (born Heather Frith), pop-reggae singer Mishka grew up at sea, traveling from island to island in the West Indies on his Canadian mother and Bermudian father's sailboat, where he received most of his education and listened to whatever music he could. When his parents returned to Canada, he completed school and returned to the Caribbean, eventually becoming a competitive windsurfer and representing Bermuda at international meets. In the meantime, he had also taken up songwriting, and he chanced to meet and impress Creation Records head Alan McGee with his vocal ability in late 1996; with prodding from Nova, Mishka was signed to a record contract the following year. His eponymous debut album, a mix of pop, reggae, soul, and singer/songwriter folk-rock, was released in 1999.
The other Mishka is from Ireland, currently living in America. Fronted by Lauren Norton. They have one EP - 47 Varieties Of Hindsight. Myspace: www.myspace.com/mihskamusik
Angels And Devils
Mishka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm Ever gonna come here tonight
This is the last time
I will Fall
Into A Place that
Fails us all the time
And I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
Will take time
Tje angels they burn inside for us
The song "Angels and Devils" is a powerful and emotional piece by Mishka. The lyrics convey a sense of finality, as the singer sings about how this is the last time they will be coming to this place. The place in question seems to be a place of pain, a place that has let them down time and time again. And as the singer falls into this pit once again, they can feel the pain and love of the person next to them. The use of the imagery of angels and demons is particularly striking, as it represents the internal struggle between good and evil that we all face.
The lyrics also seem to convey a sense of resignation, as if the singer has come to terms with the fact that they cannot fight the demons alone. They recognize that it will take time, but they believe that the angels will burn inside them and help them overcome their troubles. In essence, the song is about the struggle to overcome our inner demons and find a sense of peace and happiness.

This Is The Last time
It's the final moment
That I'm Ever gonna come here tonight
That I'll visit here for the last time in my life tonight
This is the last time
It's the ultimate chance
I will Fall
I'll be overtaken
Into A Place that
Into A dark place that
Fails us all the time
Disappoints us every time we come here
And I can see the pain in you
I notice the agony in you
And I can see the love in you
I also observe the affection in you
If fighting all the demons will take time
It's not easy and will consume some time to battle against the evil creatures
Will take time
That much time will be required
Tje angels they burn inside for us
Angels within us are passionate for our well-being
