Every Angel Is Terrifying
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ah
Ah
Ah
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' order?
For beauty is the terror we endure
While we stand and wonder, we're annihilated
Every angel is terrifying
Intense, graphic, sexy, euphoric
Provocative, edgy, thought-provoking
Technically and visually stunning
A compelling work of science fiction
A suspenseful exposé
Cinema like you've never seen it before
The exotic, bizarre and beautiful world of "After Life"
And this is your invitation to enter
Critics say "After Life" makes your current life look like a total comatose snooze-fest
It's action-packed
The future of everyone's fate
Nigel and Frank call it a classic
Arthur Fleminger says, "I can't keep my eyes off the screen"

The Weeknd's "Every Angel is Terrifying" is a haunting track that is both introspective and surreal in its exploration of beauty and terror. The singer opens the song with airy vocals layered over minimalistic synth beats that immediately set a contemplative and ethereal mood. The overarching theme of this song is the dual nature of beauty -- that it's both alluring and also potentially destructive. In the opening lines, the Weeknd asks a rhetorical question about whether anyone would hear him if he cried out to the angels' order. The answer is likely no, overriding the possibility of an angel's comforting presence. The singer then goes on to muse that even if he were pressed against an angel's heart, he would be consumed, implying that even beauty can be overpowering.
For the Weeknd, the line "beauty is the terror we endure" is a reflection of the extremes of the human experience, as he suggests that even when we stand in wonder before beauty, we're fundamentally annihilated by it. This could be interpreted as the beauty's bittersweet nature. The Weeknd then delivers the song's title with the line "every angel is terrifying," which serves as a climactic moment, strengthening the argument that beauty is inextricably linked with danger. It's worth noting that the song's restrained instrumentation serves to enhance the lyrics' poeticism, making "Every Angel is Terrifying" an introspective and deeply moving piece.
Line by Line Meaning
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' order?
If I were to cry out for help, would anyone among the angels hear me?
Even if they pressed me against their heart, I'd be consumed
Even if the angels were to hold me close, I would still be overwhelmed and destroyed.
For beauty is the terror we endure
Beauty can be intimidating and scary to us.
While we stand and wonder, we're annihilated
Our awe and wonder can lead to our destruction.
Every angel is terrifying
All angels can be scary or overwhelming in their power and beauty.
