Fallen Angel
Red Desert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came from heaven above
Fallen angel
Where are you now?
You were carrying the torch
You will be buried in the mud
We once respected each other
Fore you fell apart
You're a fallen angel
Fallen from grace
Fallen too deep
To ever rise again
Who will carry the torch when you're gone
Who is gonna sing your tune when you've passed away
Who's gonna live when you die
Who's shedding a tear for you?
Not me, not her
Not us, not them
You're a fallen angel
You have lost yourself
Fallen too deep
To ever rise again
Yeah, you're a fallen angel
Torn and forlorn
Fallen too deep
To ever rise again
Yeah, you're a fallen angel
Torn and forlorn
Fallen too deep
To ever rise again
In "Fallen Angel," Red Desert describes someone who has fallen from grace, using the metaphor of a fallen angel who has lost their way. The repetition of the phrase "fallen angel" emphasizes their downfall and how far they have fallen from their former position of honor and respect. The lyrics suggest that this person was once considered a leader or a role model, as they were "carrying the torch," but now they have ended up in the mud and have lost themselves. The chorus asks who will remember this person after they are gone and who will mourn their passing, indicating that they may be alone in their struggle and that their legacy may be forgotten.
The character of the fallen angel may represent a larger societal phenomenon of leaders or public figures who have lost their way or who have been disgraced. The song encourages reflection on the cult of personality that can surround successful individuals and points to the dangers of putting too much faith in those who are in power. The lyrics also suggest that there may be hope for redemption even after a dramatic fall from grace, but in this particular case, the person has "fallen too deep to ever rise again."
