ANGELS or DEVILS
This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna come here tonight
This is the last time - I will fall
Into a place that fails us all - inside
I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
But fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time
The angels they burn inside for us
Are we ever
Are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
Are we ever gonna come back down
Come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna give in tonight
Are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see
Still I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time
The angels they burn inside for us
Are we ever
Are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
Are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us
If I was to give in - give it up
- and then
Take a breath - make it deep
Cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one
That could make us cold
You know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
Well you're up to your own interpretation of the song but you were good actually it was a really great song with melody and with all the lyrics that some of us might like it others may not.for us it is cool! that could make us cold!
I really love this song because it's so meaningful that could touch your soul.And the melody of the song is so wonderful that could reflect yourself of what is happening now in our society.
I believe this is about a relationship which has so many problems either personal or with each other. The singer talks about this being the last time that he or she will keep on trying to keep this failing relationship going dropping his pride to go after the one you love for the first verse and, relating to himself in the second. The lyrics talk about seeing the pain and love in the other person making it difficult to leave because he or she feels the same way too. Fighting their demons or whatever it is their problem is which is pulling them away from each other will take time, which means more fights and problems, but is willing to risk it. For me, the angels signify the good in them, the love which wants to fly or flourish while the devils signify the overwhelming problems theyre facing. I also think that the person is really confused on what to do a sort of purgatory in between the angels OR devils on whether to keep trying or stop and he is deciding to fight one last time. What he does worry about is how to make things work when the things that make them cold (problems) are in the way. In the last line of the second verse the lyrics say, I just want to know what blurs and what is clear to see. I believe this means that the writer still cannot determine what he or she will do because his mind is making up all kinds of scenarios to justify his/her/their actions. The writer knows that his mind is blurry or not thinking straight and wants to know which of these scenarios/feelings he can trust. My take on the bridge is that if he were to give in to these feeling and risk it, the writers partner should take the risk as well --- that he or she should take a breath, make it deep as if they will dive right into deep water together and if they do take it and do this last ditch effort, they may fail, that their actions here can pull them apart or make or break them. Hmmm just a thought and it may just be me, the way that part is sung Be the last one that could make us cold - That they could make us cold the cold here is sung differently like three words are infused cry (there is definitely a letter R being pronounced) in the beginning, cold in the middle then love when he sings the la la la part (some of you may find that helpful, others may think its taking it too far. Its up to you). Again, this is my take on it. Different life experiences yield different interpretations so we should respect what others say. Let me know what you think
