Fallen Angel
Noel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometime ago when we started
This relationship
We never had any problems
It was much too good to be true

Then came the day I got tempted by
A girl with lust in her eyes
A lipstick stain on my collar
There was no denying my crime

I did break the rule, but I'm sorry
There's nothing I can say to abide it

Now I regret what I've started
I'm a fallen angel
One unintentional moment
I'm a fallen angel

You found it hard to forgive me
Said that you want to give it a try
I see you fighting the teardrops
From the pools in my watering eyes

I feel that I don't deserve you
I've been a fool and had my head in the sky
You said my feelings have changed
And I've lied
Now I'm shakin'

I did break the rule, but I'm sorry
There's nothing I can say to abide it

Now I regret what I've started
I'm a fallen angel
One unintentional moment
I'm a fallen angel
Wish I was back where we started
I'm a fallen angel
'Cause girl with me you were honest
I'm a fallen angel

I did break the rule, but I'm sorry
There's nothing I can say to abide it

Now I regret what I've started
I'm a fallen angel
One unintentional moment
I'm a fallen angel
Wish I was back where we started
I'm a fallen angel
'Cause girl with me you were honest
Fallen angel

Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
Fallen angel

Overall Meaning

Noel's song, "Fallen Angel," tells the story of a man who strayed from his relationship and regrets it. At the beginning of the relationship, everything was perfect, and they didn't have any problems. However, one day he was tempted by a girl with lust in her eyes, and he broke the rule. The guilt is evident when he speaks about the shame and sorrow he feels at breaking his commitment, and he knows there is nothing he can say to change it. This confession is amplified by the repetition of the line, "I did break the rule, but I'm sorry."


He's struck by the impact of his actions and realizes that his mistake has cost him everything. He feels undeserving of forgiveness and the love that he had before. There is a vulnerability to this song, and his regret is palpable. It's clear he wishes he could turn back the clock and undo the damage inflicted by his mistake, but he knows that's impossible, and now he's a fallen angel.


In conclusion, "Fallen Angel" is a touching expression of regret and is a cautionary tale about the dangers of temptation putting even the best-performing relationships at risk. Despite this, we can tell that the man doesn't take the situation lightly and is sincerely sorry for his actions.
