Angel
Type O Negative Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am not immortal, I've lost my youth
Maybe I see the hell, may be the paradise
But one thing I surely know, that my spirit will be rised
Angel, I want to be with you
So tell me what can I do
Angel, I want to be with you
My soul starts to burst, I'm going insane
More than the dead, I feel the blood in my veins
I know I'm gonna die, and strong light is all I see
I'm still looking in the mirror, the angel it's me
Angel only you can see
You are the one, you set me free
Angel only you can see
You are the one, you set me free
I see the sadness in your eyes
My whole life was a disguise
At the funeral, you wil be there
I will follow you everywhere
Angel, I want to be with you
So tell me what can I do (Angel)
Angel only you can see, you are the one
You set me free (Angel)
The lyrics of Type O Negative's song Angel are contemplative and introspective in nature. The singer is looking straight into the mirror of truth, which implies that he is trying to face the reality of his existence. He acknowledges that he is not immortal and has lost his youth, and is unsure whether he will end up in heaven or hell. However, regardless of the outcome, he is confident that his spirit will rise.
The singer then addresses the titular Angel, expressing his desire to be with him/her. He is unsure of how to achieve this and seeks guidance from the Angel. As the song progresses, the singer's soul starts to burst, and he feels like he is going insane. He senses the inevitability of his death and sees only a strong light. At this point, he realizes that the angel he has been searching for is, in fact, himself.
The song has a haunting and melancholic melody that complements the introspective lyrics. The use of heavy guitar riffs, moody piano, and Peter Steele's deep, mournful vocals creates a somber atmosphere.
