In better days I've been known to listen
I go to waste all my time is missing
I'm mapping out my ending,
It's never gonna happen now
These things are condescending
With everybody backing down
You pray to stars that can help you get by
And all at once you forget to try
I'd go there if you let me,
They're never gonna find me now
My life is always empty
And in and out of doubt
Your not coming back for me, these things they will never be
I'm so used to being wrong, so put me where I belong
I'll get back to you,
God knows I try,
But I still lose
And I get back to you,
These days run by,
But I still lose
Angels say they can make you suffer
They give and take like a vicious lover
When all this loses meaning,
You'll never want it back somehow
Awake but still I'm dreaming
And never waking up
Alone...Where I'm not alone

They give and take like a vicious lover. "
In some contexts it was believed that angels were not always fond of mankind,
The can be as cruel as they can be kind. In the video, it shows a man repairing an angels wings. As soon as he has done this- She leaves.
Give and take... She gave to him her company and love, but took it away when she left.
"Angels say they can make you suffer, They give and take like a vicious lover."
Does anybody understand this part?
Alone... Where I'm not alone
..
Having struggled with depression for the last 6ish years of my life that I can remember back to (I was diagnosed with it but never accepted medication), I've had my share of suicidal thoughts and everything else. Whenever I tell this ex of mine that I feel lonely she replies 'You just went out with friends last night' or 'You're with your friends right now'.. But it's not just that. Being with other people or in the company of friends doesn't make me feel any less alone. When you're depressed.. being with 20 friends or 3 best friends doesn't make a difference.. I still feel loneliness constantly even when I'm with those people. I think that's what this phrase really speaks to.
It feels like no matter what u do or what u try u just can get get out of this hole where is dark and lonely
all your hope feelings are gone. The phrase "My life is always empty and in out of doubt" describes how I feel sometimes. Every time I listen to it I feel like I'm not the only one struggling.
Every time i listen to this song i get chills!
Phrase 1: He's trying to justify his life to himself (trying to comfort himself).
Phrase 2: Under his own power and direction he tries, but get's stone-walled and keeps failing.
Phrase 3: Somehow it's suggested to him (maybe an angel suggests) to look God for guidance, but he finds prayer isn't getting him anywhere; he still must try.
Phrase 4: He's asking God (or this angel he's talking to) to take him to heaven for the reason his life is so empty and there's nobody on in life that will notice him.
Phrase 5: The angel (it's an angel now that I think about it) that's gone away (or back to heaven), and left him alone with no way out.
Phrase 6: He's talking to the angel and putting his faith and direction in the angel, and still it won't work.
Phrase 7: He's learnt from this angel and explains it out; you could get manipulated if you're guided by angels and not God.
Phrase 8: After the angel is gone (a cool experience no doubt) he slides back into the world he justifies from the first line of the song.
I think in this song he recognizes he's not getting to heaven in the way things are going in his life. He wants to, and I think his prayer is to put him where he's not alone.
* Sounds to me like he needs a friend*
