Angel wings Lyrics Meaning

[Part I]
[Intro]
The sounds set a sad, heavy mood. They feel like quiet cries and deep breaths, showing confusion, pain, and emotional distance. It prepares you for a story about loss, denial, and trying to cope alone.

[Verse 1]
She talks about nights feeling cold when the person leaves, and how goodbye hurts every time. She feels anger and love together, knowing a kiss would bring more pain. To protect herself, she hides the feelings deep inside and tries not to let longing take control. Even separation feels safer than holding on.

[Pre-Chorus]
She keeps the person locked in her thoughts as a memory, where they can’t hurt her anymore. Wearing black helps her play the role of someone who has moved on. Pretending they are gone feels easier than facing their presence and the emotions that still follow her everywhere she goes each day.

[Chorus]
She chooses to say the person is dead to her so she can survive the breakup. When people ask, she acts like it’s over forever. Calling it a tragedy shows how much it hurt. She once believed they had everything together, but pretending the person has angel wings helps her let go. Imagining them as someone who has passed makes the pain quieter. It’s her way of protecting herself while she heals. This act of denial gives her control. It allows distance, space, and breathing room when emotions feel too overwhelming.

[Verse 2]
She points out how mixed signals and dishonesty ruined connection. She wants simple, honest love and conversation. Her frustration shows as she wonders why the other person can’t see the future they could have shared.

[Pre-Chorus]
She keeps replaying the person safely inside her mind, where nothing can go wrong now. Dressing in black becomes a shield that helps her pretend she’s fine. Acting like they no longer exist feels simpler than facing memories that still hurt. This act gives her control over her emotions for now today.

[Chorus]
She tells herself the person is dead to her because it’s the only way to answer questions and keep moving. Saying they rest in peace hides the truth of heartbreak. She admits it’s tragic because love was real. She truly believed they had a future together. Pretending the person has angel wings turns pain into something distant and untouchable. It helps her avoid reopening wounds while she learns to live without them. This fantasy creates emotional space and lets her breathe when memories rush back and feel safer inside herself again.

[Bridge]
She decides to change how she handles the situation and move differently. Even though memories still feel attractive, she knows she must let go. She adopts a stronger attitude to reclaim her life. Ignoring the person’s name is part of healing. Deep down she knows the truth about what happened, and that awareness pushes her to finally choose herself over lingering attachment. She refuses to fall back into old moods. This shift helps her step forward with clarity and self-respect even when the loss still stings quietly inside her heart daily.

[Chorus]
Again she calls the person dead to her because pretending helps her function. When others check on her, this answer keeps things simple. Saying rest in peace covers the sadness she carries. She knows the ending was painful and unfair. She once thought they shared everything. Imagining the person with angel wings softens the breakup and creates emotional distance she needs to keep going. It’s a coping story she repeats to survive the quiet moments and unanswered questions that still echo late at night when emotions feel too heavy to hold.

[Part II]
[Verse]
Repeating angel wings shows how she clings to the idea of the person being gone in a peaceful way. Saying they are dead to her is a shield. She admits she doesn’t want to stay this way forever, but for now, this fantasy helps her survive and breathe through pain and emotional exhaustion.
