Angels
Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
The lyrics of "Angels" by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow are a powerful expression of finding comfort and protection in a higher power or guardian angel. The singer wonders if an angel is watching over them, guiding them towards a better fate. They acknowledge the inevitability of aging and death but believe in salvation, which will let the angel’s wings unfold.
The singer then goes on to explain that when they are feeling lost, weak or when love is dead, they seek solace in their angels, who offer protection, love, and affection. The metaphor of down the waterfall illustrates the journey of life, with its ups and downs, but the singer knows that their angel will always be there to help and comfort them. They trust that their angels won't forsake them and that their love will strengthen them, even when life gets tough.
The song's overall message is one of hope, comfort, and the belief in something greater than ourselves. It is a beautiful interpretation of finding faith and comfort in the face of struggles and difficulties.
