Angel's Disguise
Whitecross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simple little face and simple clothes she wears
Angel isn't much for idle conversation
Doesn't care about the weather or the newest sensation
Angel spends her nights giving of herself
To the little blue hairs in silver chairs
Who cannot help themselves
Angel is an angel on the inside
You and I may not see from the outside
Oh I pray that in time, oh that our eyes
Will see past an angel's disguise.
Martin is a man with four kids and a wife
Living out his average days in an average nine to five
Well, now he's no superman as the modern world perceives
But he wouldn't think twice to give his life for his family
Angels of love come in many different ways
Do we ignore the art of the purest heart?
‘Cause we just don't like the frame
Angel is an angel on the inside
You and I may not see from the outside
Oh I pray that in time, oh that our eyes
Will see past an angel's disguise.
From high upon out throne
What goes deeper than the skin?
Do we wait to cast the stone?
Do we ever look within?
The song "Angel's Disguise" by Whitecross speaks of the idea that angels can come in different forms and that one must see beyond the physical appearance to recognize the inner goodness in people. The main subject of the song is Angel, a girl with short brown hair, a simple face and clothes, who is not interested in frivolous conversations or the latest trends. Instead, she spends her nights volunteering to help elderly people who are unable to take care of themselves. Her altruistic nature and selflessness make her an angel on the inside, despite not shining outwardly like one.
The second verse of the song speaks of Martin, an ordinary man with a wife and four kids, who also possesses a heart of gold. He may not look like a superhero, but his willingness to sacrifice everything for his family makes him an angel in disguise. The song suggests that people tend to ignore the deepest qualities of others and focus only on the outer appearance, disregarding the goodness that lies within.
The closing lines of the song ask a profound question about human behavior. The lyrics hint that we are too quick to judge, often neglecting the characteristics that truly matter. The lines "From high upon our throne, what goes deeper than the skin? Do we wait to cast the stone? Do we ever look within?" prompt people to introspect and consider the importance of seeing beyond the surface.

(Translate to Spanish)
Angel es una chica de pelo castaño y corto.
Carita simple y ropa simple que usa.
Ángel no es mucho para conversaciones ociosas
No le importa el clima o la sensación más nueva
Angel pasa las noches entregándose
A los pelitos azules en sillas plateadas
Quien no puede ayudarse a si mismo
Ángel es un ángel por dentro
Tú y yo no podemos ver desde el exterior
Oh pido que en el tiempo, oh que nuestros ojos
Verá más allá del disfraz de un ángel
Martin es un hombre con cuatro hijos y una esposa.
Viviendo sus días promedio en un promedio de nueve a cinco
Bueno, ahora no es un superhombre como lo percibe el mundo moderno.
Pero no lo pensaría dos veces para dar su vida por su familia.
Los ángeles del amor vienen de muchas maneras diferentes.
¿Ignoramos el arte del corazón más puro?
Porque simplemente no nos gusta el marco
Ángel es un ángel por dentro
Tú y yo no podemos ver desde el exterior
Oh pido que en el tiempo, oh que nuestros ojos
Verá más allá del disfraz de un ángel
Desde lo alto de nuestro trono
¿Qué va más profundo que la piel?
¿Esperamos a tirar la piedra?
