Ex Angelo – Original Version Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
In the first verse, the artist expresses a deep sense of confusion and resignation. They describe themselves as someone who feels lost and corrupted, like a fallen angel. This feeling of corruption leads them to experience various negative emotions like greed, anger, and envy. They highlight the fleeting nature of wealth and the addiction to money, showing how it creates inequality and dependency among people. The singer feels both clarity and chaos in their thoughts, revealing their struggle with happiness and personal limits. There’s a sense of complicity with others in their suffering, emphasizing that shared selfishness can lead to a twisted form of unity. Ultimately, they identify as a street kid who both despises the ugliness of the world and is irresistibly drawn to life’s challenges and harsh realities.

[Pre-Ritornello]
In the pre-chorus, the transition from happiness to ingratitude is striking. The singer feels isolated, sitting on a “throne of tears,” suggesting a heavy burden of sadness despite any past victories. They reflect on how hope follows us from birth to death, hinting at the dark truths we often ignore. There’s an acknowledgment that they might lose everything when they finally achieve success, which makes them feel weak and fragile despite the desire to appear strong.

[Ritornello]
The chorus highlights the theme of vanity and the need for compassion. The singer asks for reassurance that brighter days will come and reflects on the emptiness they feel. They express a desire for honesty, longing for the truth rather than comforting lies. There’s a recognition that the good they’ve done may not come back to them, and they wish for their dreams to be fulfilled, even if it means sacrificing their happiness. This illustrates a struggle with illusions versus reality.

[Strofa 2]
In the second verse, the singer grapples with their relationships and the complexities of their emotions. They describe a push-and-pull dynamic, where the more someone seeks them, the more they retreat. The singer acknowledges their vulnerability by exposing their heart but finds refuge in their own turmoil. They discuss their past mistakes and the pain they’ve caused others, revealing a deeper understanding of their flaws. The mention of “poison” suggests the harm they inflict, while they also feel human and have ultimately succumbed to their inner struggles. The contrast between being a fallen angel and a newborn devil reflects their internal conflict and guilt. There’s a sense of self-awareness, admitting they’ve lied and recognizing the superficiality of love in the world, which feeds their fears.

It reinforces the tension between wanting to be strong and accepting their vulnerability.

[Ritornello]
In the repeated chorus, the same themes of vanity, truth, and desire for clarity resonate. The singer seeks reassurance about the future while acknowledging the void they feel. They ask for a stark truth instead of sugarcoated promises, showing a deep yearning for authenticity in a world full of illusions. The request to fulfill their dreams, even at the cost of happiness, underscores their inner conflict and desire for something real that won’t fade away.

[Outro]
The outro echoes the chorus, reiterating the themes of vanity and the quest for truth. The singer continues to seek compassion, expressing a longing for hope and assurance that better times are ahead. The imagery of lights in the sky contrasting with the darkness of the city symbolizes hope amid despair.
