  General Comment:That whole cd is best listened to in the dark with a great system. :) Especially this one.
  The lyrics and vocals are so fluid and almost hypnotizing. It'll take you away,if you let it. ;)
  To me it's best not to pick apat the lyrics,just listen,take them @ face value. :)

  My Interpretation:Not a huge fan of this movie, but I always thought the sound and lyrics for Angel fit extremely well with the bar scene from Queen of the Damned: youtube.com/…

  Song Meaning:I see it as a man from a more sheltered life who meets this girl who is beautiful and perfect to him but also from the "wrong side." He believes that she could have any man she wants and calls her his angel because out of all the people, she chose him.
  
  Ultimately I think it's a love song. It will be my future wedding song :P

  General Comment:This reminds me of neon genesis though, angels are the evil ones and evangaleons are the good guys.

  General Comment:I've never really thought this song spoke anything about a girl or a desired woman or something like that.
  I like to take this one literally. It speaks about Angels. Angels do exist. I've know lot of stories about that. lots. and the "she's on the dark side" part, maybe, its an angel that needs to "neutralize" every bad energy, every common earthly thing, in order to love, and only to love,the human being. I think the whole tension of the song is to show the unbelivable thing, that exists a being thats meant only to love and protect. It's scary but... fascinating. a being made for help.

  General Comment:I think this is about the depths of desperation. This person thinks he has dealt with his innermost fears but they reappear again and get stronger and stronger until no matter how much he tries to outrun them they catch up with him and he begs and pleads with them to stop torturing him but they have no mercy. He finally faces up to them and as soon as he does they finally lose their power over him and he is free.

  General Comment:I think this is about someone who is being chased by his inner fears, no matter how hard he tries to outrun them they catch up with him, getting bigger and bigger in his mind until he feels it's hopeless. The fears and insecurities are feeding off him and at the end he faces them all head on and pleads with them to leave him alone but they won't, they have no mercy. Lucky him though, he finally stands up to them all and they disappear. It's a very dark song, from the depths of desperation.

  General Comment:I don't think its about a stalker, just a man who loves his girlfriend so much that he never wants to leave he and sees her as perfect in every way. I dont think she would bring love to a stalker lol.
