Picked it up and took it with me
I found a surprise inside of the pit
Followed the road back to your body
You are liquid
You will die if you are nothing
I know despite you when
Whisper something softly
You know those demons have to eat
Woke up in a cold sweat tonight, I guess I
Got enough sleep, no counting sheep for me
Leave me be, don't you waste a thought on me
Time, and time, and time over again
You take the role of every
Voice inside my head
Telling me: "Don't forget a piece of me"
I'm full of life again, I release relief
The lyrics of "Do You Believe In Angels?" by Babyloot are filled with imagery and emotion that speak to the human experience of loss, redemption, and spiritual awakening. The opening lines describe finding someone's heart "laying in the street" and taking it with them. This physical act is symbolic of the way we carry the emotional scars of others with us, even when they are no longer present. The surprise inside the pit and the road leading back to the body may represent the journey of the soul after death, and the way our memories and experiences continue to guide us even after we lose someone.
The next lines continue this theme, with the idea that we are all liquid and will die if we are nothing. This can be interpreted as acknowledging our mortality and the importance of living a meaningful life. Despite this, there is still the desire to connect with the person who has passed, to "whisper something softly" and create a memorial with petals around their feet. The final line, "you know those demons have to eat," adds another layer to the song's meaning, implying that there are forces outside of our control that can cause pain and suffering in the world.
Overall, "Do You Believe In Angels?" is a beautiful and complex meditation on the human experience of loss and the search for meaning and connection in the face of mortality.
