Demons and Angels written by Judy Rodman and Ronnie Samoset from the album "Close to the Edge" tabbed 9/16/05 [Intro]               [Verse] He swore it was over all in his past A few hours later his hands ’round the glass Voice on the left says there’s peace in the wine From the right a voice whispers don’t give in this time When he looks for the answer down in his heart Demons and angels tear him apart      She calls his name softly as she lies in their bed Listens for footsteps and prays for the best She knows that he loves her knows that he tries But if he comes home drkin’ she’ll leave him tonight She waits for the answer and cries in the dark While demons and angels tear him apart [Bridge] For so long they’ve fought for his soul The whiskey and the woman at home And they all know he must choose the winner Alone [Instrumental]             There’s not much that’s sweeter than a new life begun Ain’t much that’s sadder than a promise undone He stares at the bottle longs for her arms While demons and angels tear him apart When he looks for the answer down in his heart There’s demons and angels that tear him apart

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le combat intérieur d'un homme tiraillé entre ses démons et les anges de sa vie. D'un côté, il a l'alcool et la tentation, symbolisés par la bouteille qui l'attire, et de l'autre, l'amour qu'il éprouve pour sa compagne qui l'attend, inquiète et pleine d'espoir. Il sait qu'il doit faire un choix, car ses décisions auront des conséquences sur leur vie ensemble. Elle lui fait confiance, mais elle est aussi prête à partir si ses luttes avec la boisson prennent le dessus. Le contexte décrit un moment de vulnérabilité où la lutte entre le désir et la responsabilité se produit, illustrant la fragilité des promesses et l'angoisse des relations. Au fond, c'est un appel à la réflexion sur les choix que l'on fait et leurs effets sur ceux qui nous entourent.
