You know? It always amazes me to see how people interpret songs.. Mostly they equate it to something that has happened to them in the past.. like rape or this and that and...
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance,
For a break that would make it okay.
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard, at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release.
Memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless,
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight.
[Chorus]
In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting.
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack.
It don't make no difference,
Escape one last time.
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees.
[Chorus]
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
For that second chance,
For a break that would make it okay.
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard, at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release.
Memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless,
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight.
[Chorus]
In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting.
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack.
It don't make no difference,
Escape one last time.
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees.
[Chorus]
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.

In the arms of an angel"
Fly away from here"
From this dark cold hotel room" to me the chorus is what a mother is saying to her depressed daughter. I think her
And the endlessness that you fear" daughter ran away and her mother finds her in a hotel room and tells her that even
You are pulled from the wreckage" though she fears that these feelings will never go away they eventually will.
Of your silent reverie"
You’re in the arms of the angel"
May you find some comfort there"
Spend all your time waiting" I'm not sure what these lines are referring to
For that second chance"
For a break that would make it okay" a break in the persons skin
There’s always one reason"
To feel not good enough" referring to depression
And it’s hard at the end of the day"
I need some distraction" cutting being the distraction
Oh beautiful release" the release of emotions that comes from cutting
Memory seeps from my veins" metaphorically, when she cuts, all her bad memories leave
Let me be empty" without those bad memories
And weightless and maybe" cutting gives her a high similar to a runner's high
I’ll find some peace tonight" the cutting will make her feel better
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room to me the chorus is what a mother is saying to her depressed daughter. I think her
And the endlessness that you fear daughter ran away and her mother finds her in a hotel room and tells her that even
You are pulled from the wreckage though she fears that these feelings will never go away they eventually will.
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line" sick of her life
And everywhere you turn"
There’s vultures and thieves at your back" she has no one reliable in her life
And the storm keeps on twisting" her depression keeps getting worse
You keep on building the lie" lying to parents about cutting
That you make up for all that you lack" she lacks the ability to stop cutting
It don’t make no difference"
Escaping one last time" she thinks that one more cut won't make a difference
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh" referring to how sad it is that something as sad as cutting can make a
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees" person feel so much better
I could be completely wrong but this is what it means to me.
