V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I played with your game
Now I’m sick with the pain in my heart
I’ve got love in my eye
And you’re sucking me dry
Ahhhhhhhh
I'm stuck in my bed
With the streets running red with the blues
So the Violins play
And my friends always say
I’m a fool I’m A Fool I’m A fool
My Angels stop singing till 10 o’clock
I’m already on my knees
And it’s all beacuse she’s money
Sweet scented honey
She does it naturally
Oh I know that every time she hustles by I get a shot
Girl you stepped right out of my dreams
But baby I’m a venomous soul I never get it
Ohh that doesn’t matter to me
It’s never as fun
The real works begun
And I’m comfortably numb
In the dark
So I whisper you name
Till I’m breathing again
Ahhhhhhhh
There’s know where to turn
See my friends crash and burn
Now it’s too late to learn all the rules
So the Violins play
As my hope slides away
I’m a fool I’m A Fool I’m A fool
My Angels stop singing till 10 o’clock
I’m already on my knees
And it’s all because she’s money
Sweet scented honey
She does it naturally
Oh I know that every time she hustles by I get a shot
Girl you stepped right out of my dreams
But baby I’m a venomous soul I never get it
Ohh that doesn’t matter to me
How far should I go?
I think I’m getting vertigo yer
Another night and nothing new
I’ve got the t-shirts and the new tattoo
Well I’m looking for a moment with a perfect thrill
Where people go for pleasure and the fashions kill
I need a little push into the razor edge
Mother natures calling from inside my head
My Angels stop singing till 10 o’clock
I’m already on my knees
And it’s all because she’s money
Sweet scented honey
She does it naturally
Oh I know that every time she hustles by I get a shot
Girl you stepped right out of my dreams
But baby I’m a venomous soul I never get it
Ohh that doesn’t matter to me
The lyrics to V's song, "Angel," could be interpreted as a cautionary tale of being blinded by love for someone who is ultimately toxic, destructive, and draining. The singer acknowledges that they are in pain and being drained of their energy, yet they continue to pursue this person who is like sweet-scented honey that they can't resist. The repetition of "I'm a fool" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's awareness of their own foolishness, but they cannot shake the hold this person has on them. The contrast between the angelic imagery and the darker themes of the song adds to the complexity of the emotions being conveyed.
The opening lines suggest that the singer's life has changed since they began playing with this person's "game." Perhaps they were once innocent or optimistic, but now they are "sick with pain" and tired. The mention of "love in my eye" implies that the singer is infatuated with this person, but the repeated reference to being "sucked dry" and "comfortably numb" suggests that the relationship is not mutually beneficial or healthy. The reference to "The Dark" could be interpreted as a metaphor for depression or despair that the singer is experiencing as a result of this relationship.
The "angels" referred to in the song could be a metaphorical representation of hope or positivity that the singer feels is slipping away from them. The fact that they stop singing at 10 o'clock could symbolize a time when the singer's optimism and hopefulness are replaced with a sense of despair or resignation. The mention of "money" as something that this person embodies could suggest that they are materialistic or greedy, which may be a source of conflict in the relationship. The repetition of "I'm a venomous soul" suggests that the singer feels damaged or unworthy of love, which may be why they are willing to put up with someone who is draining them.

It’s never the same
Things have changed since I started playing your game
Since I played with your game
My life has been different since I became involved with you
Now I’m sick with the pain in my heart
My heart is hurting and I am in pain because of you
I’ve got love in my eye
I am deeply in love with you
And you’re sucking me dry
You are taking everything from me and draining me emotionally
Ahhhhhhhh
Expressing pain and frustration
I'm stuck in my bed
I am so overwhelmed that I cannot get out of bed
And I’m out of my head
I am losing my mind
With the streets running red with the blues
I am feeling hopeless and down because of my environment
So the Violins play
Music is playing in the background to set the mood
And my friends always say
My friends tell me that I am foolish for loving you
I’m a fool I’m A Fool I’m A fool
I know that I am making a mistake by loving you, but I cannot stop
My Angels stop singing till 10 o’clock
My happiness is fleeting and only comes at certain times
I’m already on my knees
I am begging for your love and attention
And it’s all because she’s money
My desire for you is driven by materialism
Sweet scented honey
You are a temptation that I cannot resist
She does it naturally
You are so alluring that it comes naturally to you
Oh I know that every time she hustles by I get a shot
With every encounter, I am reminded of my feelings for you
Girl you stepped right out of my dreams
You are everything I ever wanted in a partner
But baby I’m a venomous soul I never get it
I am a dangerous person and incapable of maintaining relationships
Ohh that doesn’t matter to me
My love for you supersedes any potential harm that I may cause
It’s never as fun
Being with you is not as enjoyable as I thought it would be
The real works begun
The hard part of our relationship has just begun
And I’m comfortably numb
I am so emotionally drained that I feel nothing
In the dark
I feel alone and without hope
So I whisper your name
You are the only thing that can give me comfort in this darkness
Till I’m breathing again
I need your love to breathe and live
There’s nowhere to turn
I am lost and without direction
See my friends crash and burn
I have seen others fail in their relationships and do not want to end up like them
Now it’s too late to learn all the rules
I have made mistakes and it is too late to fix them
As my hope slides away
I feel my happiness and hope fading
How far should I go?
I am questioning how much more I can take
I think I’m getting vertigo yer
I feel dizzy and disoriented from this experience
Another night and nothing new
I am stuck in a rut and nothing is changing
I’ve got the t-shirts and the new tattoo
I have been through this before and have the scars to prove it
Well I’m looking for a moment with a perfect thrill
I want to find happiness and satisfaction in this relationship
Where people go for pleasure and the fashions kill
I want to be part of a community that values pleasure and style
I need a little push into the razor edge
I need someone to push me out of my comfort zone
Mother natures calling from inside my head
My instincts are telling me to pursue this relationship even though it is dangerous
