Dors Mon Ange
Mozart Rock Opera Lyrics

The first stanza of Mozart Rock Opera's song "Dors Mon Ange" describes the departure of someone important to the singer. The first two lines suggest a bittersweet farewell, with the smile that appears and the misty eyes that reflect sorrow. The person being said goodbye to must be very special, since they are described as putting the singer at ease even though they are also lying. The final lines indicate that this person is slipping away to a beautiful sleep, bidding farewell to the world. The chorus repeats the closing line, which means "sleep, my angel," possibly suggesting that the person has died and gone to heaven. The lyrics do not make it clear whether the singer is speaking to a literal angel or a loved one whom they felt was angelic.

The second stanza evokes bells ringing and the Angelus, a Catholic prayer that is said three times a day. The singer is transported back to their own childhood, and the phrases "fly, fly, fly" and "my dreams that are being violated" suggest a loss of innocence. The singer feels as though they are walking on a tightrope, following in the footsteps of the person they have lost, and sinking into a daze when they can no longer follow. This feeling of confusion is encapsulated in the final line of the stanza, "the days that speak to me of you."
