I'd say you make a perfect
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes too far
Don't you know that I love you
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
That fell down here to lay beside you
Don't you know that I love you
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
Only a frozen still life
That fell down here to lay beside you
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes too far
Don't you know that I love you
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
That fell down here to lay beside you
Don't you know that I love you
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
Only a frozen still life
That fell down here to lay beside you

Angel en la nieve
Yo diría que tu haces un perfecto
Angel en la nieve.
A todos aplasta la manera en que tu eres
Mejor para antes de sea demasiado tarde.
¿Tu no sabes que te amo?
A veces me siento como
una fría naturaleza muerta
que cayó aquí para estar a tu lado.
¿Tu no sabes que te amo?
A veces me siento como
una fría naturaleza muerta
una congelada naturaleza muerta
que cayó aquí para estar a tu lado.

The song is about Elliott's, and thousands of others', love/hate relationship with the powdered drug: cocaine. The first verse is easily comprehended as being about the preparation for doing cocaine: "a perfect angel in the snow" refers to his girlfriend, his angel, which is in fact the "snow" itself. The second lines backs this up: "all crushed out the way you are." Cocaine is first crushed up into fine powder before being snorted or injected. "Better stop before it goes too far," only furthers the proof of what this song is truly about: cocaine overdosing comes as the result of "going too far," as the cocaine addict, once high on the drug, often has trouble controlling how much of the drug they will continue to use. Any cocaine addict will tell you that they will continue to use until either it's all gone, or until they decide to face the intense drawbacks of the depressing come down.
I believe that the rest of the song refers to the infatuation with cocaine. "Don't you know that I love you," is obvious: he loves the drug, but he wonders at times if it knows this, or if it even loves him back (which it doesn't). He loves this drug, he feels like he was a "cold still life that fell down here to lay beside" it. He's a cold human being, he cares about very little, he's often depressed (as is the primary indication of a coming down cocaine user), but despite these things, he still loves the drug, and he feels he was meant to be with it, no matter how cold and still its made him.
And that verse repeats itself, such is the way of the addict's love for cocaine.
Elliott's voice sounds so innocent and haunting at the same time, almost as though he's pleading/wanting.
